stepping back in time...
spent sunday afternoon perusing an antique show where i stumbled upon a vendor who specialized in one-of-a-kind 19th century garments. i was in awe of the hand stitching, fit, embellishments, and fabrics. the work and time invested into each piece is inspiring. we worry so much about budgets and price that the quality of work slowly slips. as i stared at the delicate, perfectly spaced stitches i could only think about how little we see this in our clothing today. i know the evolution of clothing production has changed and couture pieces can still consist of intricate workmanship. but i believe that we should always look to all eras and hand sewn garments as a reminder of the beauty found in even an everyday house dress and recognize the difference when there is time, love, and care poured into it.
