This vintage dress is very beautiful.  I like the print of old and vintage fabrics.  Prints of recent years leaves a lot to be desired. They are faded, blurred and dotted in structure, in a word, "digital" printing.  Unfortunately, digital printing has completely destroyed any alternative and if you look at modern blouses, dresses, bags and other things, you will see that this is digital printing and that this print is very different even from the one that was back in the beginning of this century.
