Vintage 1950s beaded dressVintage 1950s beaded dress

Hi! So sorry for the long hiatus! I’ve been on holiday (to Egypt), and now I’m busy trying to cram as many shifts in at work before I go back to university (in less than two weeks!). This is a reproduction of an outfit I wore a few nights ago when out having drinks with friends.

I love this dress but there’s a tear in the crochet at the back that bothers me, so I don’t wear it as often as I might. Does anybody know if it’s possible to repair something like that?

This post feels so short but I have a 7.30-5 shift tomorrow, time for bed. I’ll be back!

  1. that dress is so perfectly beautiful, Im in awe.

    I have a similar vintage lace dress and sometimes you can disguise it with similar colored thread, it's probably not as noticeable as you think!

  2. Agreed, your hair is so beautiful! I don't know about fixing the dress, but surely there must be a way to do it somehow?
    I really love the second photo to, just in general- the light is gorgeous :)

  3. I just love the light in the pics! The perfect moment to took photos.

  5. gorgeous photos and wow. yeah I get down when there are pieces of my vintage dresses that rip. I've had to sew and fix a few of them and usually wear them until i can't fix them anymore. :(

  6. The dress is soo lovely! I think if your take it to a reputable dress makers or even fabric shops sometimes can help, then they may be able to help! I took my (very expensive!) bridesmaid dress to a dressmaker when I teared it a little and it was fixed up just fine in time for the wedding he he ;)

    You're absolutely beautiful too! xxx
