An 80s Vintage Gown: What I'll wear TONIGHT
Purplicious salutations to you :)
I love the thrill of digging through pieces that have a
story behind them – a story that I will most likely never know.
Something about it always excites me, without fail. Then there is the
sound of the hangers moving across the racks that reminds me that I’m
there for a very important task: to find a VINTAGE TREASURE! Any
vintagess out there reading this knows EXACTLY what I mean.
Well,
the sweet sound of the hangers never lets me down. I discovered a
BEAUTY of a dress awhile back and I'm pleased to share it with
you all. It’s from the early 80’s and it simply delicious.
- Ebony Black Evening Gown. Glamorous as can be!
- Shoulders in the design of beautiful roses except they are made up of small bows that create the illusion.
- A gathered bodice that is very flattering. This dress can make any gal look and feel glamorous!
This is not your
everyday piece but its my sister's birthday today and we are rocking out in the city 80s style tonight. I'm having the dress tailored to be a reconstructed mini! I'll be rocking it at the birthday party tonight I can't wait to see the final results! I'll let you know.
When
I put it on, I feel rather old hollywood – like Joan Crawford “ish”
(minus the Mommie Dearest personality…yikes). Its all about the big -to
-do bowtie shoulders and the big bow tie along the back of the dress. A
bit much you ask? Please! In my girly world It’s NEVER too much:) ! You gotta
be bold and live it up every chance you have!
You can click the photo to get a better view of the dress! Imagine cute right above the knee. Sweet, sweet, 80s vintage!
Much more to report from me later.
Toodles! xoxo,
