{ vintage ysl sunnies, vintage geoffrey beene dress, michael kors watch, lanvin for h+m shoes }
over the holidays, i found this masterpiece of a draped-jersey geoffrey beene dress at feathers in austin (one of my favorite vintage stores). sadly, it has a few moth holes, so i'm in the market for a magic-making restoration fairy, if anyone knows of one. nevertheless, i couldn't wait to shoot and share this gem with you!! isn't it insane?

Lovely...
Ditto on the leg envy :)
OH MY GOSH I LOVE FEATHERS SO MUCH!! I retain the belief that it is the best vintage store of all time. I'm moving down to Austin in about 2 weeks for school and I can't wait to be uber close to it!! Hoorah!

What a lush colour, and the draping is gorgeous. Shame about the moth holes, but if you like vintage sometimes you have to learn to live with it!
love the location of these pics and that dress is very nice! <3

the dress really has an attractive shape and you wear it so well. Sometimes you can patch the holes yourself with thread but I'm sure there are many professionals in NYC that can do something - I think Judy of Atlantis Home did a restoration post a while back
i love love those shoes!!!

Gorgeous dress! That's one of my favourite colours to wear at the moment too!
I also hate it when I discover moth holes in my clothes :( I wish there was a fairy too!!

The dress is a beauty! The way you style it is incredible. These pictures are beautiful and I love the setting under the bridge!
You can't see the holes but good luck fixing them--I'm sure you'll be able to get rid of them :)

Happy New Year! Feathers is one of my favorite vintage stores too. I got a beautiful 1950's hand made one shoulder dress that is so beautiful from there. Their prices are great, too! Great outfit combo!
How I missed your posts!! Lovely and fabulous, great color and still am so in love with those shoes! xx
http://www.annawithlove.com
I wonder how they do restore dresses like that. It looks great on you, jersey is way to clingy for me. :)
Amazing! I love Feathers. Did you make it over to their sister shop Moss?
Love the shape of the dress, it fits you very good!!

Total gem, sometimes it is amazing what vintage items pop up! You gave me a great idea, wish it wasn't that cold over here :(
This is insane! I have hardly ever seen a more flattering dress. Absolutely and utterly in love with this look.
That dres is amazing!!! And it looks perfect with those shoes, pure perfection!
Vintage Beene almost pains me - it is so well designed and contructed, and I can never ever afford it. It goes for quite insane prices on eBay (even Beene Bag diffusion line), so I have always figured that my only hope is happening on a piece hiding out in a vintage or thrift shop far, far from NYC. So happy for you that you did!
What a great find! Mr. Beene was such a master, one of my role models and all-time favorite designers. The dress looks like it was made for you - thanks so much for sharing!!
Great outfit, love the shoes!
This dress fits right into my current wool knit dress lust. Thank you for sharing!
I don't know of any fine knit restorators, but I am going to attempt to repair a moth hole on one of my own cashmere sweaters presently. I dutifully saved the spair yanr and I'm thinking about using a little tricot fusible as stabilzer. Wish me luck!
Wow, your legs look a mile long in that dress. It's a fabulous colour too. Love it.
love the color of the dress. beautiful.

Hey Kelly!
I would like to know which of the MK watches you are wearing. It looks perfect and I need to purchase one like that!:)
that dress is fantastic. love the shape and the color
re: dress restoration, you may want to look into without a trace (http://www.withoutatrace.com). they're located in chicago but accept mailed garments for repair as well - i'm not sure if they do jersey, but i've had dresses repaired by them that came out looking fabulous!
Ahhhhh coveting your Lanvin for H&M shoes. Wish I had a chance at purchasing them, but unfortunately I don't have an H&M near me! I just got back from NY & it was all picked over and no shoes... oh well. Keep rocking them! xo
