When one of the most fashionable women in the world wears a vintage dress, and a spiderweb embellished vintage dress at that, who am I to deny the call? Today I'm creating a 1940's cocktail dress inspired by the spiderweb bedecked number recently worn by Zendaya for a press appearance while promoting the latest Spiderman film. Personally I'm about a decade and a half behind on Marvel...but over half a century behind on fashion ✨

The original vintage dress was purchased from Butch Wax Vintage: https://butchwaxvintage.com/
