How to find your vintage style prom dress

By Sisi Tsoi


When it comes to attending your prom, it is the biggest day of your tender age. Everyone wants to stand out and look different. You can of course choose the standard shop bought dress, which will set you back around $300-$400 mark. Keep in mind, however, that you will run the risk of clashing with someone else in the same dress. Of course a lot of us cannot afford couture to ensure we are getting the one of a kind result that will make us the centre of attention. Going vintage or vintage style comes to mind as the perfect solution, but it is not without its minefields.

The term vintage is no longer a scary idea to many of us. Once associated with unwanted and smelly bits of tat left in a charity shop, it is now viewed as an awesome way to revive your fashion credit.

There are lots of resources, from vintage shops and scouting around eBay, to scouring the high street. Add in some imagination, and you certainly won't need to hurt you wallet when it comes to trying to find your ideal vintage style prom dress. Although some of us might still consider dresses in vintage style as dangerously near to the realm of fancy dress, allow us to persuade you otherwise. To start with let's begin with the flapper roaring 20s.

Do you remember the days when Drew Barrymore was fun and not corporate? She dressed in stunning beaded dresses, with mesh overlays and cascading sheer layers, for the classic 20s Siren look. Her hair was crimped and coiffed to elegance. There are numerous films for us to get into the emotion, including the recently hyped Great Gatsby. With its rainbow of beaded silk dresses, those carefree ladies definitely illustrate us the best way to have a great time. A classic 20s dress is a straight up and down number, mostly constructed of silk and lots of beading. A 'real' vintage 20s dress may well cost you $500, and also on the majority of the beading is extremely dainty because of the age of the gown. But there are plenty of choices out there in highstreet shops that match the style requirements. Should you check out the following dress, it truly is classic 20s shape, with black overlay netting textile, covered in beads, and also is included with a slip dress. Primarily suitable for girls with a boyish figure, a lover of beaded and luxurious comfort and ease will carry this dress with amazing style.

Accessorize yourself with some mary-jane heels or even a piano fringe shawl and we guarantee you will be the belle of the ball.
