Vintage garments have always held a place in my heart bc my mother worked at a garment factory and claimed to have been a professional model in NYC no less. My mother believed all that she said and controlled everything/one with a distinct fervor. She was never contradicted.
The top and metal purseswere purchased at a small antique shop (Indian Hill) for a small amount and hand on a piece of fake furniture designed to be a hall unit - to catch the hats and such.
This top introduced me to Whitby Jet and Momento Mori - great areas to research.
