1950's & 1960's Dresses

Here are a few new additions to my webstore! A pretty black and red 1960's sleeveless dress, a striped 1950's dress and a cute 1960's turquoise day suit.

1960's Dresses Galore!

I came across a ton of vintage 60's dresses recently, so I've been trying to add them all to my online store! My favorite is the tent dress in the last photo, it's so summery and happy! There's a link to my shop on the left side of my blog, in case you want any details on these dresses. More to come!

1960's Fashion on Film - Palm Springs Weekend

My sister was watching "Palm Springs Weekend" this afternoon, and although I had a list of things to do, the 1960's dresses lured me in! This movie stars Connie Stevens and has some great early 60's fashion. I love the scarves she's always wearing to protect her big bouffant hair-do, and of course they always match her outfits. The party scene is the best though, every dress is better than the next. Oh, and did I mention the amazing 60's couches? I could watch this movie over and over again just for the gorgeous clothes and furniture!

1960's Dresses - A Decade of Difference

When someone mentions the term "1960's dress" to me, I'm always wondering if they're referring to the beginning of the 60's or the end of the 60's. I find especially with this particular decade, the fashion near the beginning and at the end look worlds apart. Micro mini lengths and wild prints were just two of the major differences. I think if the women in 1961 were to see what they'd be wearing in 1969, they'd be either appalled or excited! The dresses of the early 60's look very similar to the late 50's styles, where the dresses of the late 1960's were like nothing ever seen before. Which style do you prefer?
