The gentle cycle

Whites

1920s swiss dot lawn dress, 1900s chemise corset cover, 1910ish voile blouse (with original bone collar stays!), 1920s linen knickers, 1918ish lace tunic blouse.

All from the same junk shop. All my size and totally wearable. All under $20 (after some well played register haggling). A haul like this will never happen again.

yummy linen
These knickers are the one thing that Ginny had to needle me into to buying because I knew I'd never wear linen balloon kickers outside. Funnily enough, they're also the one thing I couldn't stop grinning about on the way home. I feel like Viola from Twelfth Night in them. Which, really, is priceless.

mended

I love the mending job on the chemise. Her tiny hand stitches have lasted so long, it's really such a gentle reminder that clothes don't have to be disposable and that a little patch can go a long way.
