>I had every intention of posting fall hats today, but I was distracted when thumbing through the catalog by the lovely smocked dress at the upper left. Love! I really need to learn smocking- I really admire smocked frocks! It reminds me very much of one I desperately wanted from Kickshaw on Etsy. Unfortunately by the time the funds came together the dress was gone! Woe! But I’m sure whoever got it gave it a great home. Maybe it went to one of you?
For those less patient (that includes me), the two top right dresses have lovely shirred detailing. I particularly love the HUGE collar on the orangish tone frock.
Just progressing on the coat… slowly. I’m working now on the fur cuff pieces, then on to the wool! I also listed several unused Vintage Vogue reprints from my stash on the Etsy shop today, as well as some little vintage what-nots yesterday and today.

Too bad about that vintage dress though–it's so gorgeous. That happens to me a lot though: I get my heart set on a piece of vintage and it's sold by the time I can afford it! Boo hoo.♥ Casey | blog
