vintage finds - 50s dresses made for dancing! January 26, 2009

admit it - hollywood has made you wish you could’ve been a teenager in the 50s.

remember the “enchantment under the sea” dance in Back to the Future? (if you don’t - go rent that movie immediately!) well, for me, it’s the clothes that stand out the most in that movie’s stylized reproduction of a 50s high school dance. remember the dress worn by marty’s mom, lorraine? wow. (that’s it in the top left pic.) it’s a shame you can’t go back in a tricked out delorean. but no worries. get yourself a dress from the array above, and you’re almost there…
(click any of the images above to enlarge it. or better yet, click the corresponding link below to see the dress from many angles.)

happy vintage finds monday!
