The DC Big Flea Market was held this past weekend. My sister was looking for stuff (no other word to explain what she was interested in!) to use in the assemblages that she creates. I was planning on looking for items from the 50's and 60's. Until I got there and stopped at the first booth where I found lots of vintage clothing. I found a very fun 60's style evening wear with feathers and sequins, a leopard print coat, black velvet hat and the piece de resistance-a Victorian dress.
The dress is absolutely so much fun to study and understand how they made clothing during the Victorian times. Needless to say, those dresses would cost a pretty penny if they were made today!

Sale of Japanese textiles
For those of you who are interested in Japanese textiles and related items, John Marshall is holding a sale until March 9th on some select items. See the offerings here at his website.
Several years ago I took a class from him on clothing design. This summer he will be offering it at his studio in Covelo, CA in August.
