I was especially glad to see this celeb vintage spot because Thandie not only looks wonderful in this dress but the dress is a silk taffeta. Silk taffeta, like silk velvet seems to be one of those fabrics that have fallen out of fashion favor and its just a shame. There are so many lovely 1950s frocks made of this fabric that get overlooked as being a little too "old fashioned". Perhaps seeing Thandie has changed your mind? Would you wear this fabric?
