Theres Something about those far out bohemian prints in sheer fabrics that makes us feel like an Arabian princess!!
This dress has been my favorite summer dress!
I found it very accidentally.
I was going through a few boxes of vintage clothing
and I found this absolute showstopper of a dress!! I couldn't believe somebody got rid of it.
A lot of these vintage clothes are very fine pieces!!!
Most of the clothing has never even been worn.
I see so many pounds of bails of gorgeous clothes that people just get rid of,
and the question is why???? Like this black and white boho maxi dress!!
It has a corset style back that laces up and is made of a rayon gauze…
Gauze is the best fabric to wear on a windy beach day!!
The gauze blows in the wind so beautifully and looks so romantic and feminine on the body.
When seeing this dress on the hanger I thought, theres no way its gonna look good on me.
After I put it on, my mind was blown as to how good it looked!!!
The print is unbelievable. The dress has a tribal India vibe.
Its so striking!!!
The best part is, nobody I know has another dress like this one….
I adore vintage because of the fact that theres only one of each piece….
Theres nothing I hate more than to go shopping and see 2 or 3 people have on the same dress as me….
Not to mention textile mills,
and the whole fashion industry has taken a radical change in the past 20 years….
There are prints and sewing techniques we'll never see again…
Quality in clothing has been traded in for Quantity in clothing….
That's why I work hard to save each piece of vintage clothing,
this dress now has a new home in my closet…
