Today's Inspiration:

Nettie Rosenstein

Imagine my glee upon finding this amazing 1940s dress "in the wild", bearing not one, but two of my favorite "to die for" labels; Nettie Rosenstein & Nan Duskin.
Then, upon closer inspection, imagine my heartbreak. The view from across the room is breathtaking. But up close, time has not been a friend to her. Too damaged for a restoration but I felt like she needed another moment to shine. We have all seen the effects of time on vintage fabrics; the lace that has weakened to the point that it would not stand up to the stress of being worn; the deterioration of the silk chiffon skirt where numerous holes have formed.
So much sadness.
So here she will live.
