{Style Inspiration} Birds of a Feather
A quick little Style Inspiration for you today - along a feathered theme!
A fabulous swallows novelty print on the pattern illustration for Hollywood 1781 from the mid-40s (a version of this print is totally on my to do list!)
Leslie Caron's amazing feathered bird embellished dress in Gigi, 1958. LOVE this - I've been scouring ebay and etsy for suitable feather birds ever since I saw it!
I've posted this before, but I think it bears repetition! A 3-dimensional bird applique with velvet body and a cascading feather tail from 1922.

Completely delightful feathered looked! I've always been drawn to birds and feathers on the fashion front, too, and just adored seeing these striking pieces.
