Lost Postcard: US-3166409
Card Mailed on or about: 6 January, 2015
Days Since Sent: 70 days
Sent to: Uetze, Germany
Postcrossing User Sent to: Vanetti
Day Dress, 1862/1864
This card comes from one of my favorite art exhibits, the Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity exhibit in 2013 at the Art Institute of Chicago. The exhibit featured not only Impressionism paintings, but also articles of clothing like those in the paintings and from that period.
This white day dress is an American design, made of white cotton pique embroidered with black soutache and is part of the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
The Postcrossing user, Vanessa, hasn't been online in about two months, so it is possible that the card arrived and she just left Postcrossing without bothering to register the remaining cards she has received. Considering the US/Germany mail turnaround seems to be one of the quickest (often taking less than two weeks for cards to arrive), it is possible that this card arrived in mid-to-late January and just never was registered.
This postcard is missing. Please check your mailbox.
