On Trend – Vintage Dresses

Sandra Vergara looks like a glamorous and modern pinup in vintage style dresses inspired by 1930’s silver screen glamour, elegant 1940’s film noir and the sexy 1950’s swing era, by Stop Staring. Vintage inspired garments, especially dresses are a big trend right now, with the coming return of Mad Men, and it’s not a trend that’s going anywhere. However, these antiquated styles can be a little tricky to add to your wardrobe and pull off. Here are a few tips to help you get started:



If you happen to be straight up and down and want to maximize your curves, try a body hugging silhouette with a cowl or a plunging neckline. This shape will give the illusion of fuller curves and a more bountiful bust line.

If you happen to be bottom heavy, try a short A- line dress with a higher neckline, like this red lace example. The A- line will skim over your fuller hips and rear and the crew neck keeps the balance with the shorter hemline.

If you are curvy or top heavytry a faux wrap dress. It allows for the right amount of coverage, as well as the ability to wear supportive undergarments.
