A most evocative label inside this mid 1950s wedding dress.
" tailored in Kenya by Modern Tailoring Co. - Tailors & Outfitters - PO Box 173 - Nakaru"
Not exactly a couture garment it is made of ivory flocked taffeta with a lace insert ,
I wonder what the story is? How come it tipped up in a Toronto thrift store.
I would have said 'ended up' in a thrift store, but hopefully, that is not the end of this gowns career as I have it listed in one of my etsy shops.
Peter, who blogs under Male Pattern Boldness, has labels on his mind this week too.
What a stunning dress and deeply special label. I feel like one could launch a novel off of that label alone - setting it, naturally in Kenya.

definitely, or a film script.
DeleteI like that gown and I like the idea of spinning a tale from the label! I wonder if wedding gowns with necks and sleeves will make a comeback--I think they're so much prettier than the strapless ones that are in style now.
ReplyDeleteAgree, if I see another strapless wedding dress I'll scream. but I think they are on their way out.
DeletePerfect gown for a winter wedding and the label just makes it that much more interesting.
