a fabulous find indeed! i stumbled across this fabulous tunic style dress at one of my local thrift stores the other day. i looked at it hanging on the rack and thought...geez that looks rather large & interesting, my curiosity did get the better of me and i had a looksy at the label, size 10 (wow big 10) made in Australia (YAY- how often do you ever come across a garment made in oz) made from italian linen (WOWEEE) and made by Veronika Maine. it is like new so i am wondering how old it is. I loved the fabric straight away, very wintery but the cut got me thinking......so i tried it on. and it fits like a glove!!!!! with the most interesting pin-tucks & folds in the front panels, back & sleeves. i think it just needs a good 6inches of hem removed and i will have a divine winter staple dress i can wear with boots & stockings, belted & perhaps a skivvy underneath.Y pop on over to sophie's for lots more thrifted lovliness Y
as if u get a veronika maine from the oppy!

ReplyDeleteokay so i just did a little bit of googling on miss V.M,as she is not one i have really heard much about.... WOW a nice find indeed! and it was 50% off blue ticket day so it cost me a whopping big $4.
ReplyDeleteOoh, great spotting! The linen is unmistakable even in the photo, gorgeous. Bet you get heaps of wear out of it.
