Letting go

 

Hard as it is sometimes, one has to make the decision of letting go of some of the "precious" one owns. So I'm now parting with two of my treasures, the first of which is this amazing and so rare cotton dress available here for purchase.


The second item is this this beautiful 1920s style dress which you have seen recently on this blog. This is brand new and looking for a suitable home ...sigh...but needs must. Available here. Gosh I'm so bad I'm still hesitating about this one...


Another addition to my etsy shop is this unusual fabric bag, for sewing or knitting work, with a beautiful silver plated frame and generous proportions, available here.

 Look at these colours - autumn has come in my etsy store too!







Me, myself and I







The poses may be exaggerated, but in these fashions I feel myself. And if that must involve silly posing, I don't really care.
Who would, in a dress like this? 
The unstructured shape, the loose, fluid lines, the freedom of movement, the lightness of fabric, the enticing sheerness, I love everything about it!...  I could be a butterfly, just stretching out of its cocoon and ready to plunge into the beautiful, wild, crazy, wide open unknown.
Speaking of which, a cocoon coat wouldn't be amiss...Ecstatic revery and joke aside, I can't even begin to tell you how liberating it feels to wear a dress in which I don't have to pretend having breasts.
Also, after missing out on other beauties, it's great to come upon such a treasure. This dress wasn't even meant to fit me, it was described as being a lot larger, so imagine my surprise when it arrived and happened to fit perfectly. Also, apart from 2 tiny eraser holes, it's in top condition! And look at that beautiful embroidered detail on the sleeve!
The only thing is that black really doesn't do anything for me, but this style on the other hand allows me to wear various camisoles underneath so I can bring in color and vary it and match my accessories. Sorry about the shoes by the way, I forgot them on from trying the dress on with something else first. Not that they looked that great with that either...
Back to the dress, it was meant for my little Etsy shop, but I really doubt that I'll be able to part with it. I am so very very bad, but it's so very very pretty...
