I recently did purchase, at Frenchy's (Nova Scotia's premiere chain of second hand clotheing stores), a perfect glamourous folkie dress. It's long, black, cotton with an embroidered black on black velvet buttoned bodice and a fringed hem. What those Boston people throw away! Unfortunately I haven't had anywhere glamourous enough to wear it yet, and the cat would go nuts on the fringes if I wore it around the house.
