Steps of Setting Up A Vintage Fashion Show
Fashion shows are usually held for a number of reasons such as promoting the works of designers and for fundraising in which money is raised for a specific charitable cause. However, a lot goes into holding a smooth show, and if you don’t have the experience or knowledge of how to go about organizing one, the result can be total chaos. If you wish to hold a fashion show in Orange County to showcase your vintage or vintage-inspired collection, to raise funds for a charitable cause, or for any other purpose; the proper organization is necessary. Here are the steps to take in organizing your show.
Get help
Organizing an entire fashion show on your own is tricky. With the multiple tasks that have to be handled, you need a team comprised of talented people such as wardrobe specialists, hair and makeup artists, emcee, seamstresses, and advertisers. This team will help you organize and run a successful fashion show.
Choose the venue
The different elements of the fashion show, from the clothes, makeup and hair to the different parts of the venue need to blend together and tell a single story. The architecture, ceilings, floors and other parts all contribute to the show’s interpretation. For your vintage show, you should find creative ways of making the venue tie in with your vintage collection and theme. When you are holding your Fashion show at an orange county venue or any other place, you also require considering factors such as accessibility, the venue’s reputation, special effects, event flow, budget, and the number of guests to expect. However, don’t be bound by what is normally done. Be creative in your venue selection depending on the type of show you are aiming for. If you are going for a less conventional kind of show, the freedom in venue selection is immense.
Find models
You need models to wear the clothing. You can find models through a variety of ways, such as through an agency, or advertising in a local college. You can also use word of mouth to advertise your planned show and the fact that you are looking for models. Don’t be surprised if you are overwhelmed with the number of interested candidates, in which case you will need to have some criteria for selecting the ones that best fit your requirements.
Plan, plan, plan
The level of planning goes hand in hand with having a great team by your side. You need to fit models, rehearse the entire show so that by the time the show starts, everyone knows what they are supposed to wear, how they are supposed to walk, how and where to strike poses and so on. You also need to make sure that the show everything will fit within the scheduled time period. Have contingency plans in place as well should anything go against the initial plan.
With all the plans in place, the show should ideally run smoothly. In reality, however, a number of things can arise, from wardrobe malfunctions and loose pieces and missing or sick models. Your contingency plans can help you keep the show running, but you also need to be flexible. You will also likely rely on your team a lot to keep handle the problems that arise and keep the show on. Therefore, select members of your team carefully.
Costs to Factor in Your Vintage Wedding Dress Budget
A wedding dress is an important part of the wedding and one that takes a significant chunk of the wedding budget. Many brides don’t mind splurging on their wedding as long as they look beautiful. An equally significant number of brides want to get the best dress for the least amount of money. Whatever the case, it is important for the bride to factor in all possible costs in their budget so that they have the resources ready for any occurrence. Here costs related to wedding dresses which any well-prepared bride must consider.
Purchasing or hiring cost
‘How much does a wedding dress cost?’ this is a question every bride-to-be must take into account when preparing a wedding budget. Whether you are buying a brand new designer dress or buying or hiring a second-hand dress, you need to know the price range within which your desired dress is likely to fall. Of course, the prices would vary depending on a number of factors including the designer, the details of the dress, and location of the store.
The average cost of buying a new wedding gown is estimated at $1320. Lovers of vintage dresses can find unique, original vintage dresses at varying costs. The exact cost of an original vintage dress will be influenced factors such as the fabric, the uniqueness and embellishment of the dress, and size. The prices are of course likely to be cheaper if you are hiring. If you are getting a custom-made gown, it may cost you more than a ready-made gown.
Shipping costs
If you’re getting your dress from a local store or designer or hiring from someone near you, you can save on the shipping cost. If however, you are getting your wedding from far, you will need to factor the costs of shipping the dress. This cost can be more if you are getting a custom-made dress designed and altered from a far-away designer. This is because there may be several backs and forth shipping costs that must include in your budget.
Alterations
Most brides need their dresses altered several time before the wedding day so it can fit them perfectly. Alterations are inevitable with wedding dresses being bought as early as eight months before the wedding day. The average bride goes for at least three fittings where adjustments are made; spending as much as $250 extra.
Even the lucky ones who find the perfect fit and design on purchase might still need alterations since the body can change significantly in eight months. The exact cost will depend on the seamstress and the extent of the alterations. Some designer salons offer some free adjustments that you can take advantage of. If you have a family member or close friend who can make the adjustments for free, then lucky you! You will not spend as much. If you don’t know anyone with the skillset you need, you must look for a good one early. Any smart bride will consider these costs.
Weddings, though a one-day event, can be costly and can cause a lot of stress. Reduce the stress by being prepared and budgeting for everything, especially the most important ones.
A modern LED touch for your vintage bathroom
1930s dress designs, the 1920s, and 1930s color schemes with lighter, neutral color shades, 1940s-inspired wallpapers, bold post-war colors, exotic pastels of previous years, floral fabrics, dark wood, furniture designs and lighting fixtures; some people just love it vintage. However, even with the love for vintage things, some also like to add a modern touch to their homes. If you are one of these people, how about adding a small modern, relaxing touch to your bathroom with LED shower heads?
LED shower heads are walk-in shower additions that have led lights. They add both beauty and functionality to your bathroom. Different varieties come with different features. These include different sizes and shapes as well as water pressure, several colors changing as the water temperature changes, some are handheld while others are not, and others have different spray settings. Others models allow you to choose a color you want while for others, the color is fully controlled by water temperature. Most of these shower heads also warn you if the water temperature is getting too high. They do this using the LED lights. For the temperature controlled ones, the light will turn red or any other color depending on the specific model. Others have a warning functionality where lights flash letting you know when the water is getting too hot. These shower heads offer several advantages which is why you should consider buying them.

The History of Levi Strauss Vintage…
Today’s fashion has been influenced by yesterday’s runway masterpiece and the cycle goes on and on. Fashion has withstood time and time is inevitable.
So how can this be proven? By a simple representation: Jeans.
The Blue Denim that everyone is wearing today both for style and function.
And the braindchild? Levi Strauss.
Levi Strauss originally began his venture into the business in 1853 with an idea from his would-be business partner, Jacob Davis, to create heavy duty jeans meant to workers held together by copper rivets.
Levis Strauss has been a fashion icon for many years now since its birth in 1853. The blue jeans have been invented to be a work wear riveted-for-strength pants that was initially meant for blue collared individuals. The logo has become a symbol of its strength and has since been patented on 1873. The popularity of the pair has since sky rocketed and was praised by not only the niche market they were aiming for, but by different classes all over the country.
The Levis Strauss jean jacket vintage was made notoriously popular when John Wayne, Bing Crosby, James Dean and Steve McQueen started wearing it. Wearing the vintage jean jacket has become the identity of cool and trendy.
Fast forward to today, the Levis Strauss brand still withstands the test of time just like their denim jeans and with it comes another icon fashion wear, the Levis Straus Jean Jacket Vintage. Dubbed as the synonym of freedom and change reflecting the hard working American.
Levis Strauss has banked on another timeless piece with the vintage jean jacket and is sure that this trend will never go away. The brand has made its name through the representation of self-expression and independence.
The vintage denim has now become staple and will be for years to come, an investment that goes beyond monetary value. Levi’s Strauss’s 164 years in the denim business has proven its capacity to create more than just the trend, it has created function within fashion.
The 10 Best 1930’s Vintage Dresses
Every decade has its own focus. When we talk about 1930’s, we have to think about a transition era, where fashion started thinking about the clothes being more fitted and we thought about showing a more curvy figure, think about the hour-glass shape that we have in mind these days.
However, the 30’s had still a lot from the previous decade, and as a result, we found ourselves seeing both boxy silhouettes and more fitted ones. Fashion started giving importance to the waist, and the clothes started reflecting that by highlighting this part with belts and more structure fabrics. The great thing about this is that if you want to channel the 30’s you would probably look like you’re dressing for this age, but with a great retro vibe, due to the elements that make these clothes look very current.
Iconic by UV 1930s Black & Gunite Beaded Chiffon Elysian Dress
One thing about the clothes from this decade is that we basically got rid of the fringes, and replace them with layers or fabrics that would add a lot of movement to the dress. And even with a photo, you can see that this dress is light as air, and the skirt moves beautifully. That’s because it’s made out of 70% polyester and 30% silk. The opulence of the previous era is present in the side beading, which looks amazing on the black fabric. Being made of such a light material, don’t expect it to stretch at all because if it would, you wouldn’t be able to move so freely. The fabric is also semi-sheer, but you don’t have to worry about see-through because the skirt is completely lined.
Frock and Frill Vintage 1930s White Beaded Stars Mesh Deco Dress
Remember that gorgeous dress Emma Stone wore at this year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards? I do! It was a beautiful blush Valentino with a lot of beaded stars on it, and that remind me a lot of this dress. This model is exactly what we’re talking about the 30’s: a transition silhouette, where the dress is not too boxy but also not too fitted. It’s made out of 100% polyester with a 100% polyamide lining, which guarantees nothing can be seen through the fabric. This dress has a lined hand beading with stars all over it, starting from the V-neckline and going through all over the dress. Be careful when the washing time comes, with this kind of dresses a little hand wash is more than enough.
Unique Vintage 1930s Style Black Deco Burnout Velvet Velma Flapper Dress
Art Deco was one of the biggest artistic influences during the 1920’s and 30’s. It was so much of an influence that even got to permeate our clothes. The superposition of geometric figures was it the biggest feature and we saw it on movie posters, books, paintings, buildings… and now we can see it on this gorgeous black velvet-looking dress. It’s made out of 67% polyester, 23% polyamide and 10% spandex, with a lining made out of 95% polyester and 5% spandex. As you can see, it’s made to hug your curves in a very delicate way. The neckline is a hybrid between V-neck and drop neckline, and the ‘midi’ length is perfect for many occasions. The silver brooch is included.
1930s Style Red Charm Short Sleeve Wiggle Dress
Do you notice how we start with a loose silhouette and now we got to something completely fitted? That’s the beauty of the 1930’s! This red dress embodies every fashion concept of that decade, from the fitting to the length and the details. It’s made out of poly-viscose, a hybrid between polyester and viscose that results in a material with a little bit more structure. As the intention of the piece is that it will get very fitted, the measurements are really specific, so feel free to check them before you click on ‘Buy’. A dress like this will accentuate your waist and it will give you a cute detail because of the lace neckline. However, this type of dress can also highlight all your flaws, so be really careful.
Exclusive Stop Staring! 1930s Eggplant Purple & Ivory Railene Dress
Color is also a great part of the dresses that get their inspiration from this era, in contrast with the 20’s where everything was pretty much black and white, Golden or silver. This purple dress also features a very fitted silhouette and a ‘midi’ length but is a little bit lighter due to the fact that is unlined. Made out of 62% polyester, 32% rayon and 6% spandex it will give the right fit but with a bit of freedom to move. The zipper on this dress is on the back, for a bigger of a retro vibe, and the cute button details are everything you expect.
1930s Style Black & Sicilian Sweet Peas Cap Sleeve Polly Swing Dress
See? Color and prints are huge in 1030’s dresses and the combination of that with a small waist gave us the first shirt-dresses we ever knew of. This Unique Vintage dress has everything that’s good from a shirt, but long enough to not wear anything underneath. You don’t even have to worry about the see-through possibility because the bodice is completely lined. The skirt, with a nice A-shape, has a pocket for more comfort and proactivity and the belt is included. If you’re a fan of the buttoned shirts, this is definitely a dress for you.
Ez-sofei Women’s Vintage Chest Pleated Fishtail Pencil Dresses
The pencil skirt started to be a big deal back in the 30’s, and of course, we still love them know! This dress has a big retro look with the modern touch we need to avoid looking like we step out of the time machine. Available in 3 different colors (red, black and navy blue), it features a beautiful V-neck styled up with 3 buttons down and a ‘fake’ belt. The short sleeves are great for any casual occasions and the finished ruffle on the bottom is a very discrete fashion statement, but it will catch some eyes. This is a great choice if you want to look elegant but effortless.
ReVamp Miriam Dress
Speaking of sophistication, here comes the ultimately fitted vintage dress. This one is by ReVamp, an American brand that specializes in creating vintage-looking clothes based on true classic silhouettes and forms. And what’ more classic than this hour-glass shaped dress? This beauty is 100% made in the United States, handmade in Los Angeles, to be more specific. It’s great for curvy figures because it accentuates the waist without so much of an effort. On top of that, it features some interesting sleeves, with ruffles and a contrast lining. And for the contrast, we also have the bottom part with a little pleated. This one is hard to top.
ReVamp Pepper Dress
We would love to say that there was all glamour back then for women. But no, they also had to work both in an office or at their houses, and for those tasks they needed something less beaded and more comfortable. And that’s how we got our first cotton dresses. This model by ReVamp has an interesting square print, on a very nice and practical color, such as blue. Like most of its dresses, this one is handmade in Los Angeles, but also makes its pride about being made out of all natural fibers. The silhouette of this dress is also fitted, but it has an interesting shape at the bottom. The collared neckline makes it even cuter and the buttons help you determine your level of cleavage (and it’s always nice to have that option).
Frock and Frill Vintage 1930s Nude Beaded Sleeved Mesh Deco Gown
Let’s close the list with a party gown, shall we? There’s nothing cuter than a well pull together nude dress because it will give the impression of a dress that has been made exclusively for you. If you have a very light skin tone, you might want to try this Frock and Frill long dress. The greatest part of its see-through game is that it covers everything you need, and becomes transparent in cool areas, like your arms. The rest of the dressed is covered with a very delicate and intricate beading that will totally make you stand out from the crowd. The fabric of the shell is 100% polyamide and the lining, 100% polyester. The lining has a stretching quality, so you can have a nice silhouette underneath the sheerness. For more safety, you have a zipper and hook closure.
The 11 Best 1940’s Vintage Dresses for Women
The 1940’s were all about the waist and the hour-glass figure. Leaving behind the opulence and the sparkle of the 20’s and early 30’s, this era revolved around comfortable fabrics, high waist tops that accentuated the waist and of course, A-line skirt. We’re not trying to say that this was the only silhouette existing during the 40’s because the pencil skirt also had a big role in women’s fashion around these time. However, the flare for the big skirts was starting and everyone wanted to get them.
The interesting about the 40’s is that you probably didn’t know that most of the retro clothes we can find on the market are from this decade (and also the 50’s). Just think about it: when you mention retro or vintage, you can find yourself thinking about an A-line skirt with a cardigan or about any of the dresses that we are about to show you. You know what’s the best part is? They’re on trend right now!
This is what I’m talking about: can you think of any other dress that looks more retro? Because I don’t! It’s almost like the pin-up style was condensed on a dress and delivered to us. This red beauty is 97% Polyester, 3% Spandex and it has everything from the 400’s. The waist, the skirt, the color, the polka dots. One great thing about this piece is its sleeveless quality and the beautiful halter silhouette on the top. This is a dress you can wear with heels or flats and feel instantly fabulous. It’s so pretty we wish it would come in more colors, but life can’t be always perfect.
Women’s 1940s Vintage Short Sleeve Black Dress
Big A-line skirts, that’s what 940’s were all about. The fuzz was so big that in 1947, Christian Dior created something we got to know the ‘New Look’, a concept of dressing that will totally accentuate the waist and give women the ultimate hourglass silhouette, along with a ton of elegance. This model embodies everything of the New Look’s essence, in the classiest color of them all. Made out of 100% polyester for a solid consistency (especially from the skirt), it features a scoop neck and a four button line at the top. A dress like this will give you a chic status you would’ve never dreamed of.
Unique Vintage 1940s Ivory & Little Ladies Print Short Sleeve Lucille Swing Dress
Unique Vintage is a brand that is doing a great job when it comes to vintage clothes, and it’s a great option because of its wide variety, making pieces like this beautiful printed dress that, once again, sums up everything the 1940’s were about, but tones it down for those ladies out there who enjoy the movement of a skirt. For those women over there thinking that black is way too boring for their clothes, there’s a chance to wear ‘little ladies’ instead. This cute print takes over the dress, which features a beautiful A-line skirt, collared neck with a bow and short sleeves. Made out of a 100% polyester, is one of those pieces that speak for themselves.
1940s Cord Dress
Of course, there were women that didn’t really love the idea of a big puffy skirt (with which you probably had to wear something underneath to keep it up), so fashion came up with a different strategy. And that’s how we have the shirt dress, an item that has changed over the years but it keeps its essence: it looks like a long shirt, but more stylish. This piece by J Peterman is 100% made out of cotton, which makes it an excellent piece, very breathable and light. It features a very beautiful button down front, kind of like a long rope with a very chic vibe to it. The good news is that you can get this dress from a very wide range of sizes (from 2 to 20 plus), but you have to be careful because the length varies from 44” to 47” depending on the size. Dry cleaning is recommended for this item.
Stop Staring! 1940s Navy Blue & White Fur Collar Benoit Wiggle Dress
There isn’t a better piece of clothing for women than the pencil skirt. Why? Very simple: it fits and flatters any body type out there and, depending on the fabric, you can wear to almost every activity you have to deal with. This navy blue dress has been made in the USA, and the fabrics are a combination of 62% Polyester, 32% Rayon, and 6% Spandex, again, so everything stays in place, a quality that is very important on pencil skirts. This dress is so retro that is one of the few that features a big part of the 40’s: padded shoulders. If you were wondering about the fur collar yes, it is included. And it’s because of this detail that dry cleaning is the most recommended option here.
ReVamp Faye Dress
ReVamp is one of the fashionista’s go-to brands when they need especial pieces with a strong vintage feeling. And what’s not strong and vintage about this midi length pencil skirt dress? This dress features a square neckline, fun print, and short sleeves. As much of the pieces of the brand, it’s been handmade in Los Angeles and made out of natural fabric, which ensures its quality and durability (that means you will have your vintage dress for the years to come, and that’s a win… isn’t it?). This dress will fit perfectly for your next meeting or a formal brunch, if you play enough with the accessories you’ll find a place for it every day of your life.
Stop Staring! Ella Cherry Wiggle Dress
Very fitted dresses are a great option for the thin ladies out there, and also for the curvy ones that are proud to show their figures. But the problem the thing girls have is that, with a piece of clothing so body-hugging, they can actually look too skinny. To help with this matter we have printed fabric, as this beautiful cherry pattern developed by Stop Staring! This dress is made out of 55% polyester, 42% cotton, and 3% spandex, definitely a lot of structure here. The neckline is very retro and vintage-looking, and the balloon shape of the sleeves makes it even cuter. One piece of advice direct from the fabricants: the dress runs small, so it’s better if you pick a size up to ensure a perfect fit.
Hell Bunny Coleen Coat
Whoever says we can’t wear a coat as a dress hasn’t been paying attention to ladies like the Dutchess of Cambridge and the Queen of England herself. Coats are a great, stylish way to cover yourself from the temperature and they look pretty, too. This classically styled coat features a wide flat collar, princess seams in the front, 3 button down closure and side pockets. It’s perfect for your favorite pencil skirt or a simple dress underneath. The outer shell is made out of 90% polyester, 8% viscose and 2% elastane. And the lining is 100% polyester. This dress is on the run small group, so order a size up to be sure it’s a perfect match for you.
1940s Vintage Red Round Collar Elegant Dress Pin Up Rockabilly Women
You might think this dress was made for a doll, but it has all the pin-up spirit in it… and we love it! Pink is not a very common color among this trend and 1940’s dresses, however, this is the cutest thing we’ve ever seen. The collared neckline and the little bow make them sweet, but the texture (some sort of animal print), keeps it cool. The fabric is a combination of 58% Polyester, 2% Spandex, and 40% Cotton, which is always a quality guarantee. Be careful with the sizing, because you can only find it in the traditional Small, Medium or Large.
Blue Ribbons Seamstress Of Bloomsbury Lisa Shirt Dress
A great thing about soft material dresses is that they feel lighter than air, and are perfect for the hot days or those occasions when you just want to be simple. And although there’s nothing simple about this striped dress, is certainly cute and great for an everyday situation. This dress features an authentic blue ribbons print, a V-neckline with collar and bakelite style buttons. The fabric is an original Crepe de Chine (a type of rayon), with a belt and short sleeves. The button closure complements perfectly the blue belt, but you can wear it without if you want. It’s a matter of style.
Seamstress Of Bloomsbury Lillian Mayflower Sarong Tea Party 40s Wrap Dress
People have been saying this for a long time now, but saying it again won’t hurt anyone: wrap dresses are a girls’ best friends. Why? They hug your curves and they fit almost every body type. This Sarong Tea Party Dress is made out of 100% rayon and features a beautiful floral print with a waterfall ruffle on the front of the skirt. The V-neckline and the sleeves make a perfect team and will make your dress a perfect choice for work or a formal brunch.
The 10 Best 1920’s Vintage Dresses for Women
The glorious 20’s will forever remind us of The Great Gatsby. It was a time for opulence, glitter, beading, dancing and singing. And it was so cool that we keep recreating it and adding our style to it because fashion keeps coming back to all the resources this decade gave us for clothing.
Of course, when you think about the 1920’s your mind goes straight to the flapper dress. The fringe and the sparkling details catch our eye from the very beginning, and again, fashion has been trying to emulate that same effect every now and then for decades. However, one of the most important things we have to consider when it comes to the 20’s is the silhouette. Nothing fitted, just boxy dresses that were more relaxed and fun. Why? Because in that time the ideal body didn’t have a small waist like we all dream about now, and dresses wanted to highlight another feature. Also, there’s life beyond the fringe, and 1920’s have a lot more to offer.
If you’re thinking about a vintage dress, this is a great decade to look into. You would look fabulous at parties and events without much effort.
Unique Vintage Women’s Del Rio Beaded Flapper Gatsby Dress
This is what we mean when we say there’s life beyond the fringe. The 1920’s had a preference for ‘midi’ length (actually, every decade before the 60’s did) and that calls for more loose fittings. One brand that’s particularly good at dressing you like you live in some other time it’s Unique Vintage, and you’ll confirm that through this post. This model is 100% nylon, and the biggest feature is its intricate hand beaded that will definitely stand out in any situation. One good thing about wearing vintage and retro clothing these days is that the pieces come with a modern edge. This dress, for example, has a little bit of a stretch quality, which makes it fitted. Two important things to have in mind: you can only wash this by hand if you want to last more than one party, and the slip you see in the photo is sold separately.
Women’s Victoria True Romance Vintage Style Party Dress in Smoke
The 20’s come with tulle, as well, as we can see on this party dress made by Nataya, another brand specialized in vintage-inspired clothing. As much as we mentioned that the ‘midi’ length was the favorite on this decade, a big evening called for long dresses, and this is a great choice even for our days. Imagine it for a ball or a wedding, with modern accessories… you’ll nail it! This dress biggest attractive are the ½ sleeves, these play with the concept of see-through and look absolutely great. The square necklines make it perfect for pairing both with earrings or a cute pendant, which will add sparkle to your outfit.
1920s “The Bosley” Silver Beaded Flapper with Beaded Fringe Dress
Here we go, we got to the fringes. This Unique Vintage dress is everything you think about when you think of the 20’s. First of all, it screams ‘Great Gatsby’ and second, it has all these amazing details that you are going to love. The drop waist is the biggest feature because it pretty much sticks to the original concept of the flapper dress. After you realize that, you can concentrate on the layers of intricate beading and fringe work that has been done here. The sleeveless silhouette makes it a fresh piece that you can pair with a jacket for your next cocktail party. With such an intricately made dress you won’t have to worry about wearing any other showstopper accessory.
Unique Vintage Plus Size 1920s Black Beaded Sleeveless Hawkins Flapper Dress
Why do we need to include another fringed dress in our selection? Easy, this one has two features that make it stand of the pile. First, it’s basically the only fringe and beaded dress on the list that doesn’t require a separate slip to wear it down to perfection and second, and most important, it’s made exclusively for plus sizes. This baby goes all the way from 2X plus to 4X plus, and it features all the beauty of beading dress, combined with a perfect lining that includes some stretch (isn’t that incredible?), which will help to keep everything in place. And if you’re in the group that gets worried over little details, breathe in peace: this one has a clean-side zipper that will go unnoticeable.
Unique Vintage 1920s Beaded Black La Plante Chiffon Flapper Dress
The thing with beading is that it might be too much for some people. Not for me, but for some girls out there. And when you want to have a little sparkle with your 1920 inspired dress you can find it on this solution. Unique Vintage knows that is not always about the beading, but also about the quality of the fabric and a very nice silhouette. This dress, for example, features a drop waist fitting that goes perfectly with its ‘midi’ length. On the top part you can find beaded details that will highlight the straps and the center detail, pair with a see-through fabric. This material is very light, but you have to keep in mind that it doesn’t stretch at all.
1920’s Style Gatsby Tunic Top Evening Embellish Shift Dress Vintage Dress
From a very light and discrete dress to a piece that will tell everyone you’re coming from a mile distance. This dress is made out polyester and chiffon, a combination that makes it light but strong enough to support the hand embroidery that it comes with. This option is great for a night party, in which you want to catch everyone’s attention. Trust me, you will get it. You have to take into consideration the fact that this dress can be a little heavier than anything in your closet, due to the embroidery weight. Also, consider that it goes from 02 to 26 in sizing, but the length is the same for all the options (90.53 cms or 35 inches).
1920’s Style Gatsby Tunic Top Evening Embellish Shift Dress Vintage Dress
Sometimes we think about getting a dress that will look expensive but at the same time not having to spend all our money on it, especially if it’s not a dress we’re going to wear on a regular basis.
