Is there anything better than finding that perfect, one-of-a-kind vintage dress? Nothing says something quite like nabbing the trendiest, swankiest vintage find. But, with so many styles that really ought to be left in the past, how do you determine a real treasure from a real dud? We've gathered some of the absolute coolest looks around to help you hop onto the vintage dress train without overshooting or underselling. Do vintage right with styles like these that absolutely deserve to be brought back, and brought back with a bang!
The first option we're checking out comes from the Vintage Collection (by way of chickdowntown.) This 'Pink Cotton Floral Dress' by Original Shaker Square is a perfect example of a vintage dress done just right. Its 1960s jumper-esque shape features a high, rounded neck, sleeveless arms, and a high, square-cut back. What we love about this shape is, not only does it hearken back to the era it was created, but it's also a timeless, clean silhouette that can be worn just about anytime, anywhere. This is a key component if you're looking for longevity in your vintage wear. Plus, its large, pink-backed blossom print is a definite, clear representation of its 1960s origins--a feeling you can only get from a truly well done vintage piece. And, its three pink pearl over the shoulder buttons add a small touch that takes this dress to the next level. Coming in at just $60.00, this Original Shaker Square dress is the perfect example of a vintage dress that translates effortlessly to modern wear.
Moving away from classic shapes, and into a dress where its unique construction truly defines its funky feel, we'll look to Vintage Collection's 'Jade Satin Cocktail Dress' for a seriously fabulous vintage dress. This 1980s cocktail dress (originally inspired by a 1940s feel) boasts a fitted waistline, dolman, three-quarter length sleeves, and twenty-six-inch length from your natural waist. Its intense front-side draping makes for a seriously memorable silhouette, and certainly adds a shape that won't be soon forgotten. Its fabric, in true 80s style, is an acetate, 20% nylon mix. This fun party dress is perfect for drinks out on the town, and we guarantee your look won't be repeated! Coming in at $140, this jade colored dress is a true gem!
Taking some time away from classic vintage, we thought it would be best to include at least one modern option with a vintage kick. Karen Zambos' Vintage Couture 'Tommi Dress' is the perfect choice for a modern/vintage combination. We love the combination of the ultra chic racer back shape, and mid-thigh length combined with an over sized grey/magenta geometric-floral print. A simple shape, with a fabric that harkens back to times-past, this new piece bodes the perfect combination of modern and vintage. With a full retail price of $228, this is a fabulous option for the next event you have coming up!
So, whether you're on the hunt for a seriously funky vintage dress, a classic shape from an era past, or a modern piece with vintage flair, your options are definitely open! Don't let the past trip you up: always look to focus on just one main vintage trait; whether its shape, print, or embellishments, you simply cannot go wrong!
