Vintage Elephant Match Up!

I guess I've been doing this long enough that I shouldn't be surprised when I find the same piece somewhere else!  I mean, two weeks ago I found the same exact pattern from a dress that I remade on a dress that Ece Sukan was wearing... New Dress A Day - DIY - Vintage Floral Dress - Ece Sukan

Today I was shocked yet again.  I saw a garment on Krowe NYC's etsy page that looked extremely familiar.

Could it be??

I think we've got a dead ringer!!

New Dress A Day - DIY - Vintage Animal Dress - Krist Gudnason

This was a Krist Gudnason piece that was submitted to me by reader Pam and posted on February 1o, 2o11.  (Click here for a post refresher!)  I mean, check out the side by side!

It looks like I have more of the mauve material up top and am without the extra purple panel at the bottom - might have just been one of the variations in the Krist Gudnason collection that year.

I hope this starts happening more frequently now...if you guys ever come across pieces that look super similar to ones I've done, totally shoot pics and send them my way!  There will totally be a reward :)  This could be the most fun, real life game of Flea Market Treasure Hunters if you ask me!
