That is a beautiful and extraordinary story. The dress is so beautiful and in such good condition. Nice insets on the gored skirt and unusual placement of the zipper for a late 30s dress. I cannot wait to see more pictures of it. I wish I could see it in person. This might turn into a vintage fiction story to add to my collection, or at least the idea of of finding a dress in a trunk.
I’d love links to the blog with more pix and more dresses, please! Thank you for sharing this story!
I’m working on the story and more pictures in the future at Swingsleuths.com !
Cool! Thanks for the link to your blog. Just when you think you’ve been everywhere swingy on the web, something new! YAY! Will check it out and add to my fave link list on my blog. :)
Beautiful dress, thanks for the story. So happy it was preserved so well all these years.
Aaaaamazing! Thank you, Jenny, Kate, and Bobby!
