A Flurry of Vintage-style Dresses!

I do like vintage, but I haven't worn vintage clothes all that much since the 1980s (when I was a devotee of little white lacy blouses, of course)!

However, I've had an exciting few weeks tracking down vintage and vintage-style dresses in the charity shops and braderies of spring-time France:

This one is really super - hand made and very new, despite the vintage-style. Don't you think it looks nice with my 6€ sling-backs from the local braderie? Sadly, it seems to have been made for Marilyn Munroe, and I've done some pinning around the top and will have to get stitching and taking in...

This little cutie seems to have been made for Minnie Mouse - but it fits me very well!

This one isn't really vintage in style, but I do like it and it will come camping with me and appear un-crumpled from a rucksack, which is a huge bonus!

There's a belt on this one which I need to adjust - it looks fine now, but I think it will look nicer once it's belted! It's really the oldest dress - properly vintage, whilst the others are just 'in the style of'.



And finally, I did buy one second-hand modern dress, which is going to come in so handy on a daily basis, I can tell you!

Which one is your favourite?

With thanks to Della and Kezzie, whose fashion blog posts made me realise that I surely could manage to put the timer on my camera, but who usually manage to avoid water-containers and wheelbarrows in their own wonderful photos!
