antique lace

EyeSpySunday_Bttn"eye-spy beauty".

What a great topic this week, simple but expansive. Love it.

So... at the risk of seeming totally materialistic, I spy beauty...

Antique Lace Dresses

Antique lace rocks my world. And these dresses do for me in a big way, I think they are truly beautiful.

Next time Johnny Depp invites me to the Oscars (cough cough) I will be wearing this blue dress. I won't be wearing the Lisa Simpson beads with it though. No, no necklace, but maybe some earrings instead, something more art deco to match the belt buckle. Yes, I can picture it now... ahhh beautiful!

BOTH dresses, and loads of others that are simply stunning, come from Timeless Vixen Vintage on Etsy.
(And, might I add, isn't it a treasure to find someone with really beautiful vintage taste these days? The term "vintage" gets bounced around so much, it's nice to find real vintage, not just some fugly multi-coloured knitted jumper from 1986).

So if these frocks rock you like they rock me, and like me you need to look at them from all angles, go take a closer look:
- 1910's Antique Edwardian Couture Wedding Dress
- 1920's Vintage Flutter Crepe-Chiffon Art-Deco Couture Dress

The one on the right looks like my Mum's going away dress for her wedding. Always wanted to wear it but it was so tiny that I had grown out of it by the time I was 14.

I agree with your comment on vintage, although I felt a bit guilty chortling - after all vintage is vintage to someone :)
