EXPLORING VINTAGE THEMES

The whole idea incorporating vintage is to create that fashion stamp of yesteryear or add few touches of it that make you look and feel pretty. Vintage today is enjoying a revival. Particularly hot are contemporary gowns and dresses with a twist of something 20th century. This could be a nipped in waist a la Audrey Hepburn, a beaded chemise from the jazz age or even a turn of the century high-collared blouse. It doesn't have to be an actual vintage piece either; it can be a repro (reproduction) piece. The sets here certainly inspired me. They might just be a starting point for you . . . Since there are no rules here, only guidelines, go ahead and combine eras if you like. Blending will give your look a certain distinctiveness. Go with whatever mix you want with the confidence your choices are many
