  1. This is my favourite section of Saree Dreams (I run a blog on vintage blouses so its interesting to see a few examples in these posts!).

  2. This is such a beautiful image. I am really drawn to the jewelry, especially the heart-shaped arrangement of pearls (or are they some other semi-precious stone?). Lovely. And sexy in an innocently gentle, old fashioned sort of way.
    Is this a portrait of a known subject?
