Three times a year, a magical thing happens. The Palmer Wirf's Antique Exposition comes to the Portland Expo Center. Every time its a lavish array of vintage and antique finery. The prices, in general are unbeatable, and the selection is second to none. I generally take Solanah along, as she is my best friend, and vintage companion. This season, to make light of the masses who assume we are in fact twin sisters, we decided to sew up matching dresses. We used slightly similar, but different 1940s housedress patterns with matching fabric. The result was amazing, and I am glad we are crazy enough to do such a thing.
I spent a mess ton of money, and left with bags and bags of dress, most of which are listed in my Etsy Shop, with more on the way this week! Solanah loaded up on bakelite, filling her arm by days end. I look forward to July when the next expo comes to town!

Simply adorable.
So cute!
I love your outfits! The expo sounds amazing!!!
Adorable idea! I saw a group of women in matching vegetable pajama pants.
oh my gosh this is adorable that you two dressed so alike and have similar dresses with the same print!!!! how cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you both look great. None of my friends wear vintage at all. Well I have one who does once in a blue moon but only 70s shirts and nothing older.
This is so, so cute that you two matched! ;) I love how the dresses turned out, and it must have been loads of fun throwing everyone for a loop! hehe.
