Day 3:2 for 1 heirloom dresses

yoke on blue
This is next 2 dresses that I have to show.  Yes they are vintage store bought  dresses but they are family heirlooms meaning I did not buy them the previous generation or the one before that did not sure which.

This is one of those times when I wish someone had told the designer of the dress you know it doesn't cost that much more to place MOP ( mother of pearl) buttons on a dress instead of ugly plastic ones details people details.  I so want to change those buttons to MOP buttons but not sure if that would be wrecking the dresses vintage wise to me they would be much nicer personally with MOP buttons.  AS you can tell all these dresses are in need of a good ironing but I did not want to do that until I had cleaned them from being in storage so you see them as they have been stored.
