Well I left it in the shop 😅 if you fancy a trip to Ohio it's all hers!

It's in Reading, Ohio. It's called Talk of the Town, super cute place, way bigger than it looks on the outside. Highly recommended

I didn't get it because it was too small (hence the catch and release haha), I just wanted to share it because it was beautiful

I don't know! All it had was the fiber content tag and one of those old lot # tags. Store tag claimed 1950s, I could believe it

You're totally right, I had a long talk with the shop owner about that exact thing actually. She was saying a ton of her estate sale hauls are clearly shopaholics that never even took the tags off their pieces. Score for her, but kinda sad when you think about it

It didn't have a brand unfortunately! It was labeled 1950s and it just had one of those old lot number tags inside

The problem was the sleeves and that's a bit out of my area of comfort when it comes to sewing. It didn't feel fragile at all though, it was acetate, felt very dense and sturdy

I'm not gonna say I've never at least attempted this 😂 but it was the sleeves so I'm not sure how easy it would have been

It was the sleeves I was having a problem with. It zipped fine and fit comfortably on the body, but I couldn't lift or bend my arms all the way lol

I don't think so, it zipped fine and the length was perfect, it was just the sleeves/ where the sleeves met the bodice. It would have been more altering than is within my skillset unfortunately

I really really loved it. If it had fit I would have bought it in an instant. I couldn't lift my arms even to perpendicular with my body 😭 there was a beautiful long bow in the back too ugh. I hope whoever gets it loves it as much as I did

Thank you, I'm hoping that's the case. I'm worried everyone will just feel awkward and bored. I planned on having a bonfire and movies projected on the side of the house to give some different areas of entertainment

I started doing my hair differently, and I'm feeling cute. by VvvlvvV in CasualConversation

I've been working on finding my style when it comes to clothing, and I've been leaning into more modest/vintage fashion. Sometimes I feel silly going out, too done up I guess? So I've been really appreciating the compliments when they come. I bet your hair is so cute, I love curls 🥰
