dressy window




One of my favourite things to look at is a row of beautiful vintage dresses (which explains why I can spend hours at vintage shops without actually buying anything!). The way these ones are displayed by the window light make them look so romantic.

Found on this flickr page by allencompanyinc.
They also have
an etsy shop.

P.S. I'm contributing to the Yes and Yes Great Birthday Giveaway, and you can win one of my Dahliaville prints there!

  18. These are gorgeous. Have you ever tried photographing vintage dresses or blouses in front of window light? I think you'd create some beauties :)

    P.S. For some reason this reminded me of when you photographed lace in water. Lovely!
