I found this vintage silk dress at Cavalli e Nostri, a recommended vintage boutique in Milan.

Simple long silk gown with striking hand painted leafy patterns. My guess would be end of 60s?

In contrast to many vintage shops I have explored on my travels, Cavalli e Nostri offers an incredible palette of colorful prints. It must be the Italian touch. Definitely worth the detour.

To my surprise, the dress was all hand sewn. This is my first “homemade” vintage dress. Luckily, it was a perfect fit.
