I just love these mid-century dresses, too small for me. I hear women were smaller then, maybe shorter, but I know plus size women have always been around, and were very fashionable and sexy. I just don't seem to come across many or any plus size vintage dresses from the 1950s to 60s, but I know they are out there. I'll keep an eye out for those finds.
I also am having insights of tent dresses from the 60s and 70s. I am hoping a trend comes along for these. I think they are flattering for most women. I do have a few from the 60s. I may at some time do a reproduction of these. They can be accessorized so easily, layered, belted high, waistline, or low on the hips, worn short as a top, mini, maxi, paired with loose baggy pants or tight leggings. Let me know what you all think about tent dresses, love, hate, oh no, or what the....?
I love it, iots really classy and cut really well for a figure-very flattering and very feminine! I especially like it in the brighht red:D

ReplyDeleteWow my cousin was right she said tocheck out this profile,m that there was heaps of great one off finds on here! Do you have a newsletter??
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely comments! I actually did not design this dress, it was a vintage dress of red cotton, I sold it in my shop on Etsy and it went to Australia. I was lucky enough to find an almost complete wardrobe from the same person, I believe she must have been of high school age in the 50s.
ReplyDeleteI am soon to put together a newsletter, but for now I just blog, tweet, facebook and Google + thanks for asking.
You all have a wonderful evening!
Warmly, Victoria
Love it! My sister's friend wears this kind of dress all the time...must admit I can't see it on myself though...
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, some ladies can wear a style and make it look charming, sweet or hot. The dresses on your Bebe web site are hot!
