Marissa | Vintage 1940s 1950s pleated Midi Dress with retro aztec embroidery

What do you see? An all-black dress? 

Look again. Closely. The best bits are hidden to most, but they're there and so real and beautiful. 

Isn't that how most people are? If we take the time to know them. 

We think this black pleated midi dress is a metaphor for someone who's true to herself. 

It's a beautiful jet black, with the loveliest black embroidery at the neckline/bust and scalloped sleeves.

Pinned?: No.
