skirting the issue

Yesterday at the upscale brother of MVFTS (see 2010 posts for what this stands for), where I rarely find anything this worthwhile, I found this:

An early 1970's silk maxi skirt with a print of wild cats, made by Calypso of Bermuda, AND...

 a Vested Gentress maxi shirt, googly-eyed schools of fish print.

Like most vintage mavens, I love Vested Gentress prints.  Back when I started a'wheelin' and a'dealin', they were fairly easy to find, especially when you consider that Philly is close to Valley Forge, where the company was based.  I'd get at least five or so per year.  But this is the first one I've found in at least five or six years.
