You all know how deeply obsessed I am with vintage tablecloths, right? I'm forever traipsing through thrift stores and flea markets looking for tossed-aside beauties like these to up-cycle into fabulous Retro Revival aprons.
Occasionally, I'll find a real treasure ~ a pristine, vintage tablecloth with no stains or holes, like this perfectly preserved Wilendur (with the original tag):
I think this pattern is called, "American Beauty." Aptly named!
Recently, my bloggy friend CoriLyn from Poodles And Pincurls mentioned one of her favorite online dress sources, Trashy Diva. I clicked on over to their website and found this!
OMGosh! A Wilendur-inspired skirt! Eke!
You can see how closely it resembles my tablecloth!
OK, I'll stop with the exclamation points, but you can imagine my excitement when I found this.

This is now my absolute favorite skirt. It was the perfect skirt for sipping cocktails with Captain Project last weekend.

Aw, I love Cori Lynn and you look simply smashing! :)
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love vintage, I dress very modern but I love seeing the outfits you girls wear!
I have never found a vintage table cloth that still had a tag. Maybe if I could get to the city more often!

Hehe! I was very excited by all your exclamation marks! And thank you for mentioning me! My eyes got huge and I giggled! xoxo!!!
ReplyDeleteThat tablecloth is unbelievably beautiful! And the skirt looks perfect on you. I'm so glad you found something at Trashy Diva. I was pretty obsessed with that skirt myself. Saving all my cash for the Hopscotch dress though! ;)

ReplyDeleteLove your new skirt. I am in love with vintage table cloths as well. I have not found a good one in a while. They usually have stains and are pricey. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July.

ReplyDeleteThe lovely Wilendur pattern in Royal Rose. It comes in red, yellow, pink, and blue! It's a must have in all Wilendur collections! Even better with the tag!
