score!

i found this treasure at yesterday's flea market: a beautiful silk shirt dress, made from a foulard by bianchini-ferier, a legendary lyon-based textile house. i paid $20 for the dress... i am so excited that i took pictures before it was even sent to the dry cleaners. what appeals most to me is that the foulard pattern is not the usual preppy horsebit-stuff, but composed of butterflies, birds and feathers..... just gorgeous.
