#144: Roses are Red
October 14, 2010
Part city slicker, part cowgirl.
1930’s cowgirl shirt embroidered with red roses and made from gabardine.* I found it in the sleepy attic of an antique shop in Ithaca, NY.
*Read that!
Just like dear Dale!

Oh my Stars! What a beautiful shirt! So fancy. I don’t s’pose there was a label?
No label, a no-namer.
I love this shirt. so gorgeous. what a lucky find! I just started following your blog but have been reading it for a while. You are very knowledgeable, have great taste, and really seem like my kind of gal!
Ciao,

The shirt is lovely & a great find. It’s not gabardine though…gabardine has a diagonal twill weave & thanks to your excellent detail photos, I can see that your shirt is plain woven.
I enjoy your carefully curated blog posts!
