vintage silk dress

it's not quite a sewing project, more a dyeing/mending one. i salvaged a vintage white with black polka dots silk dress, badly stained with mildew and with several tiny holes. it fit perfectly though, and feels exquisite. i've dyed it black and am waiting for it to dry. at initial inspection the mildew stains are gone and it is now a blue-black with black polka dot dress. a touch of mending and it'll be ready to wear.
