Characteristics Of Vintage Dresses

Vintage dresses are a timeless staple in any woman’s wardrobe. A woman that chooses to wear a vintage dress exudes confidence and almost always has a sense of pride when she wears it. Vintage dresses have a fit, look, and detail that modern dresses simply do not have. There are many ways to tell a vintage dress apart from a modernized dress.

Vintage dresses are all about the details. Fine silk lapels, handmade crochet work, intricately-woven lace, heavy-duty buttons and ornate hardware are some of the most popular design details visible on vintage dresses. They simply stand apart from dresses of modern day. They may also feature vibrant color palettes or showcase unique geometric prints or designs.

Impeccable fit and styling are often associated with vintage dresses. Tailoring and attention to construction and detail were very common in previous decades. Fashion pieces often looked as if they were hand-constructed for each person.

A vintage dress will often have smaller proportions and provide the wearer with a custom fit. It is always important to try on a vintage dress in the store, if possible. Stretch fabrication was not added to clothing until the 80s and 90s; many vintage and consignment stores have a strict no-return policy. Utilizing an available dressing room to try on a vintage dress will eliminate any guess work as to whether or not the dress will fit and if alterations will need to be made. It is next to impossible to let out a vintage dress. Taking in a vintage dress is easier, but often advised against.

Vintage dresses have a very unique style and length to them, in addition to intricate design details. Many vintage dresses were more modest in their cuts and lengths.

In the 50s and 60s, knee-length, or longer, fitted sheath dresses were popular as were calf-length A-line dresses with fitted tops and very full bottoms.

The 70s brought about longer, floor-length maxi dresses, as they were called. Today’s hemlines are much shorter than their ancestors. Length is a key factor in pinpointing vintage dresses.

Many iconic fashion pieces of past decades have a cult-like following today. “Members Only” jackets from the 80s are just as popular today as they were in their hay day. These neon-colored nylon jackets were, and still are, popular amongst the preppy crowd and look incredibly fun when paired with a classic dress in a solid color.

Fashion-lovers clamor over Diane Von Furstenberg’s classic wrap dresses. These universally-flattering knee-length dresses were originally made popular in the 70s. The bright colors, designs, logos, and craftsmanship of this iconic dress makes finding one, on a vintage rack, the equivalent of finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

Vintage dresses allow a woman to feel sultry, confident, and proud. These one-of-a-kind pieces are classic in their styling and are constructed to stand the test of time. Many women who own vintage dresses save their favorite pieces to pass on to their children when they grow up.
