//// Soon wearing vintage…

Posted on | May 12, 2010 | No Comments

Yesterday I found this pretty amazing silk dress from Fida Hämeentie. I fell for the delicious fabric covered buttons and whimsical butterfly print. There were couple of stains on it, but a gentle wash dissolved them almost entirely and I got it ironed back to shape. It has been locally made, the tag says Malli-Eeva — Model Eva — I would love to know the stories behind these vanished local “brands”. The hem is hand sewn with blind stitch and the overall work quality is very good in this — not to mention that silk has not been too common in this country, so I suspect that Malli-Eeva has been some sort of smallish seamstress boutique…

It looks like we are getting a sunny day for today, great!

I'm especially interested in young designers creations, non-established labels and indie fashion. So if you have something interesting to show, feel free to contact!

You can find Finnish design from both specific and some outfit posts - but both are tagged.

You might be also interested in DIY posts, How-to posts, DIY ideas - or my adventures in Etsy =).
