So this is the oh-so-lovely vintage dress I’ve been harking on about. It’s silk organza and I think the most beautiful dress I’ve ever laid eyes on. It looks like it belongs in a fairy tale! I’m sure this dress would have some great tales to tell. I’ve had to accept that I won’t be able to wear it because it’s just too delicate and already has more than a few holes, not to mention lots of stains that just won’t come out. Still, it looks so pretty hanging on my wall that I don’t really mind at all.

  1. Oh wow, it is absolutely divine! Maybe you can just wear it once and take a lot of pictures…

  2. You're right – it does look like it belongs in a fairy tale. It's completely amazing. Where did you get it from?

  3. Wow, that's a really beautiful dress, how bad that you can't wear it : It's great that you own it though! As you said, I'm sure it has a lot of stories to tell :))

  4. Anabela and Adela- I so wish I could wear it.. I did attempt to put it on oh so carefully but I heard a little tear go in the sleeve, squeaked, and quickly took it off again!

    Ariella- I got it off eBay :)

  5. Oh my goodness, it's honestly breathtaking! Those little sleeves are just darling, not to mention the delicate flowers trickling down the bottom, like tiny raindrops. I can only imagine that the person who once wore this was beautiful, poetic and dreamlike!
