Vintage Prom Dress Advertisement in Seventeen Magazine circa 1961, "I Could Have Danced All Night"


This vintage prom dress is gorgeous! Can you imagine wearing all of those precious blue ruffles? I would have to hire someone to walk in front of me all evening carrying a sign "Make way! Make way for the dress!"

I actually really love the pale pink dress the model on the right is wearing. I would wear that on a daily basis though, just to grab lunch with a friend or date night with the hubby.

Do you spot the prices? It seems quite cheap at first, but if you refer back to my { Prices of Vintage Clothing if Bought Today } post, you'll notice these vintage prom dresses were actually quite pricey even back then.

  1. What a dress!

    And to think, just a few years later, around the time when my mom graduated high school, prom dress fashions had changed so much (they all wore mini-dresses!).

  2. These guys and gals look way too old to be going to a prom don't they? It's a great advert! Thanks for sharing.

  4. I like the boy suits that they wear and they are perfect couples.
