6 Must-Have 1950s Vintage Style Dresses You Need To Bring Back Glamorous Vintage Fashion


For fashion tragics like me living in a post-modern 21st century is great! Fashion-wise pretty much anything goes. So, if you still have your belted-cardigans and parachute pants, hold onto them, with a slither of luck even they (may) come back in fashion.
But you and I know that just because something is popular or trending this doesn't, in '50s parlance, chrome-plate a wet-rag.
So while fashion trends can change at the speed of social media 'Likes' there will always be a timeless charm to the big, beautiful Rockabilly dresses of the 1950s.
Here are my 6 must-have vintage style dresses inspired by the 1950s which will blast you back to 'Fat City' and a time that was far out.
1 - The iconic silhouette of the 1950's was the A-Line. Cinched waists, full dresses to capture the classic, hourglass figure. Add a pair of matching gloves and you were cookin’ !

2 - The iconic style was the appliqué. This was a design or image sewn onto the skirt of a dress. Poodles were hip but images could be anything. Of course all things Paris were très populaire.

3 - The bell-shaped skirts and dresses were the iconic symbol of the time. So much so that they could be worn to casual family picnics or formal dinners. They were glammed up for red carpet events or toned down for the local town bash. Solid colours were square but Polka Dot reigned as the queen of patterns.

4 - By evening, dresses were satin, tulle or lace. Accessorise with jewellery and longer gloves for an unreal elegant look.

5 - The 1950s lifestyle was outdoors and the sunshine.  Bright floral patterns were an invitation to spend time with family or scooches in the open-air, feathery breeze fluttering the dress.

6 -  1950s was about flirting... use words if necessary!
Dresses didn’t have to be elaborate or short to be flirty. This full-length dress with a classic shape and small white polka dots would razz anyone's berries.

    Women clothing in 1950s and even the women in the 1950s were so much more elegant and had so much better fashion sense than the women these days. I wish I could go back in time and marry a woman from 1950s.

What Is The Difference Between "Retro", "Vintage” and “Classic” Style Clothing?

Image
"That's so retro!", "Love that classic dress!!" or "I just love vintage style clothing!!" Have ever said this only to have that little fashion-ista voice in your head pipe up with "Hey are sure?" Don't worry, we've all done it before. So let's lay it all out and discuss what defines "Retro", "Vintage" and "Classic" clothing.  We'll keep this just between you and me (and that voice in your head). Many people use the terms "Retro" and "Vintage" interchangeably, so let's tackle these words first. It is important to understand that, like the idea of "fashion" itself, the concepts of Retro and Vintage are fluid. So with every decade new items and garments fall in to and out of these categories. Women's Retro Sheath Dress from Vintage Style Redux "Retro" (short for retrospective) refers to any clothing (or item) which is out-dated. In general th...

Child's Play - What Technology Cannot Replace

Image
The other week my son asked me "Dad, when I'm older, maybe 10, can I have an iPad?" As a very active, passionate and spontaneous 4 1/2 year old boy I was a little taken back by how thoughtfully and respectfully he asked the question. My reply was "Yes. You will probably will need an iPad for school when you're 10." And that was the end of the conversation. In that rare moment of silence one has with 3 children under five, my childhood flashed before my eyes, prompting the question "What educational values of toys has technology replaced?" What joys of climbing trees or playing with wooden toys has been traded for the swipe of an oleophobic glass screen. As a parent of a soon to be five year old, a two year old and a 2month hold, my wife and I have been vigilant to minimize "screen time" for our kids. But as the years fly by the screen time has slowly crept up from 20mins a week to once or twice, or thrice on the weekends... and tho...
