So...I got to work with the gorgeous vintage dress that I found last month. I put it on marketplace and a vintage dress repurposing artist got in touch with me. She said it's from the 1930's and that it has a Peter Pan style embroidery, most likely a sleepwear garment. I was told by the salesperson that it was from the 20's and it was a wedding dress. Anyways, I received very low offers for this beautiful dress and the dress designer said it was so small that she wouldn't be interested in repurposing it and that it had too much damage around the sleeves. So, I did give it a good shot to be repurposed but it just wasn't meant to be. I've made 3 pieces so far with this material today already and I'll be making probably around 15 more because the silk is just incredible and the color is very mesmerizing. This one is $135, 4x6. I'll be making 1 more very similar to this one with the other embroidered side. I'm pricing it high because of how unique and rare it is....but I'll be making more affordable pieces with this dress as well.
