By far one of the most popular and
desirable items of vintage clothing is the vintage party dress. Whether it is
for the high school prom, hot date, music festival or party of the year,
vintage party dresses are always there for you to choose! So, what actually
belongs to the vintage category? Or in another word, which style do you prefer
and will look great on you? I would like to recommend some basic styles of
vintage range below.
Empire waistline
As the name implies, the empire dress has a
higher waistline which usually begins just beneath the bust. This dress is
always teamed with a long, full skirt which flows straight from the waistline. The
empire style is perfect for those who have a bottom-heavy figure or thick waist
as it skims and hides the bottom half.
Sheath/column
This body-fitting dress hugs your curves in
all the right places and outlines the beautiful lines of your body. Sheath
dress is especially gorgeous on the women who have the tall and balanced
figure, for it enhance the charm and grace.
Ball gown
If you want to get a princess or fairlady
look, the ball gown is definitely the best choice for you. It is highly elegant
and always dramatic. The form-fitted bodice with a magic skirt flatters most
figure types and is especially suitable for disguising large hips and thighs.
Short/mini
The short/mini dress has seen a real
resurgence in the past few years. Short and sexy, the strapless version of this
dress is probably the most popular of all the vintage party dresses, often
referred to as the vintage prom dress.
Tea dress
Although it's still at the height of
fashion, the tea dress is far from new to the fashion dictionary. Regardless of
many designers attempting to revolutionize this style of frock, nothing
compares to the historical, classic style of a vintage tea dress.
High-low dress
This style of dress is hemmed long at the
back (at the ankles or to the floor) and just above the knees at the front. This
is a unique, sexy party dress which is perfect for showing off long legs with
its glam and pleasant look.
