It is veeeeeeeery rare for me to spend over $100 on a 1950s dress, and I have around 150 of the things. Last week I got a sheer yellow and lilac chiffon party dress with an amazing circle skirt and pearl buttons for $40 at a consignment shop, and I once got a 100% wool floral barely-worn Horrockses 1950s day dress for $30, which was on a half-price sale at a vintage shop.<br /><br />I always thought of the US as a bit of a vintage haven, but at those prices I'll stay here where nobody knows the value of old junk!Georgia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802835174547914151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31827435.post-82275877506341481802012-10-22T23:00:00.242-07:002012-10-22T23:00:00.242-07:00Back in days gone by the simplest day dress was so...Back in days gone by the simplest day dress was so beautifully cut and put together and that has lasted. I very much doubt the average High Street Fashion Store outfit will make it beyond a few decades as standards have dropped and everything is expected to be "throwaway" now.100% silk tieshttp://www.mens-ties.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31827435.post-81194473206082499432012-10-22T08:51:25.630-07:002012-10-22T08:51:25.630-07:00Oh my goodness I can't imagine flapper dresses...Oh my goodness I can't imagine flapper dresses ever being pennies!! I really can understand how you must feel thinking back on all the lovely things you gave away. <br /><br />Vintage really hasn't gotten popular until recent years and now it's pretty much a part of mainstream fashion in some form or another. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your story with me!ADOREDVINTAGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04339129881279025033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31827435.post-13071724580552535862012-10-22T05:24:52.985-07:002012-10-22T05:24:52.985-07:00I found vintage is fabulous after reading this blo...I found vintage is fabulous after reading this blog.
