Last Thursday, I went to the Missouri History Museum with my friend, Beth of Parsimonia Vintage in St Louis. The History Museum was closing its fabulous Little Black Dress exhibit and asked us to come to the ladies night out event to teach attendees how to tie vintage scarves to style with their little black dresses or daily attire. Beth brought her beautiful collection of vintage Vera scarves and I doodled some tutorials for the ladies to take home and practice.
Beth had her darling vintage trailer set up outside with other mobile fashion boutiques so the ladies could shop after checking out the exhibit and Michelle from Creature Type was there, drawing amazing live fashion portraits.
It was a really amazing event because there were so many different types of women, all ages, all backgrounds, all dressed in their little black dresses and all loving these crazy scarves! Beth and I had a blast tying scarves on ourselves and others and spreading the vintage love. We had some really simple scarves for them to try but everyone really wanted to try the big bold turban, which made me smile because I love crazy hats!
Of course, I wore one of my favorite little black dresses, a 40s hand painted rayon dress with a fantastic black hat and big hair. I got a lot of compliments on my deco dress clips, which I found years ago at an antique mall.
I got to run through the exhibit at the end of the evening and it was amazing. It started out with mourning gowns from the Victorian era and ended in fabulous fashion forward designer dresses. It was tricky to photograph in the low light but here's a few of my favorite things.
