Proper vintage

I am thrilled (and amazed) to have found this collection of beautiful handmade dresses recently in Port Moresby. That they ended up here is incredible, that they have remained together for this long is simply crazy.

I picked one out for the fabric, then noticed it was handmade and had a name-tag sewn on with great care. From there, I found another, and another, and another. They are beautifully made garments, so fashionable and of a time.

Why oh why aren't we the same size????

In any case, I will care for this collection of dresses with great pride (and consider a bone reconstruction in the future so that I can have the pleasure of wearing them).
