fashion history

i met my long standing boyfriend who eventually became husband-san wearing this shirt. it's a dee cee cotton chambray shirt with regimental pearl snap closures.

he wore it until the cuffs frayed and fell apart and the romantic in me refused  to throw it away. so over the years it has been  shuffled  from place to place.

i was looking on line for a replacement and all i was getting was vintage places and e bay, apparently they aren't manufactured anymore. anyone knows for sure?

given the current options of paying for vintage and refurbishing my vintage the choice is a piece of cake.

the project however will have to go on the proverbial back burner as i have a more pressing project in my hands.

 the question again :does anyone know if dee cees are still manufactured?

a zen moment

among the turmoil, the sound and the fury.

this is fashion because i say so- V

the skirt that turned into a dress. feeling a bit smug because i drafted the bodice all by myself   ^_^
the fabric is a weaver's delight, it has small huck lace squares in between the dot rows. too bad the scanner is acting up and i couldn't scan it. let's see if the scanner can do its thing later on.
on to dress nº 2!
