After a winter of jeans, having a chance to change styles in a big way is so much fun. In this post we showcase several of our latest vintage dresses that are right on trend for Summmer 2009.<br /><br />Our first 2 dresses from the 1970's show wonderful prints like those now appearing on nearly every dress rack in town. Ours are soft, fluttery and perfect for a hot evening or sunny afternoon. The <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26787636">white dress with a floral print</a> has a rare matching over blouse to complete the outfit--a vintage look we adore! The dramatic goddess neckline in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15201994">blue floral</a> is so gorgeous. We can see these at an evening concert in the park or dinner at a small bistro.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6215531"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY0KD6TlGGKb9nBAUz93AwCr2vVKW7IiL0FMVnr2y1QclLjh5CfWBsQ8Za0_xNFpsRzUYb1QPg003Ke5JeBmv1vR51V_TtCVxaXFdw0-11E6k7IlbzMTLfc2aITcy5nJdsfx82UqN9FubJ/s1600-h/Slide1.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350320586100096258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY0KD6TlGGKb9nBAUz93AwCr2vVKW7IiL0FMVnr2y1QclLjh5CfWBsQ8Za0_xNFpsRzUYb1QPg003Ke5JeBmv1vR51V_TtCVxaXFdw0-11E6k7IlbzMTLfc2aITcy5nJdsfx82UqN9FubJ/s400/Slide1.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 311px;" /></a><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6215531"></a></a><br />Our next set 3 dresses from the 1970's and 80's have cute stripes that are so popular now. These showcase only a few of the larger group that we couldn't fit on the page! Whether you prefer a great <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26514978">chevron pattern</a> in the skirt, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=26514013">diagonals in the bodice</a>, or the luxury of a soft crepe with <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=26788822">matching scarf</a>, you will find stripes this year come in ice cream colors, ready for sun and beachy fun.<br /><br />Don't miss wearing a super cute dress this summer!<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6215531"></a>

This choice brings a sense of validity to the work, setting it aside from other recent texts where historical fashions are displayed on living models with a great degree of inaccuracy and amateur styling. Garments here are shown with accessories to give a better silhouette of the period.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2X4YuzZ-PZU1gRejGJaEg7Bzizitu-qx8Tr9OSgHMZ0Nu77TTf-tXMLWxA-jdySbHBCY871uwiY0E68_v3NuNLk69oH2tbWbtmPl74KOqm-W0uDWJGLzCp7zDf4eUG2dReHazRLjXNlzc/s1600-h/Slide1.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347383802754947234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2X4YuzZ-PZU1gRejGJaEg7Bzizitu-qx8Tr9OSgHMZ0Nu77TTf-tXMLWxA-jdySbHBCY871uwiY0E68_v3NuNLk69oH2tbWbtmPl74KOqm-W0uDWJGLzCp7zDf4eUG2dReHazRLjXNlzc/s400/Slide1.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic97Wo_erJD_PoVoqWL9jVKU-HpJgSSFa8EY8GloDMQkMWfU4jxdM0dmMe9bniVZL4QUfdGBceXA-Z-Ze5kWQyXiq62LLl53WRcPSAT2AkTxMF-f7q8ELcN4ZWCqEOhBDFfVl6U7KZIwZg/s1600-h/Slide3.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347384006518055922" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic97Wo_erJD_PoVoqWL9jVKU-HpJgSSFa8EY8GloDMQkMWfU4jxdM0dmMe9bniVZL4QUfdGBceXA-Z-Ze5kWQyXiq62LLl53WRcPSAT2AkTxMF-f7q8ELcN4ZWCqEOhBDFfVl6U7KZIwZg/s400/Slide3.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br />Most important is the wide scope of apparel shown and discussed, making this a necessary part of any costumer, vintage collector or fashion student's library. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"></span><span style="font-weight:bold;">Forties Fashion: from Siren Suits to the New Look</span><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"></span><span style="font-weight:bold;">Author: Jonathan Walford</span><br /><br />2008, by Thames & Hudson<br />250 illustrations, 196 in color<br />208 pages, with Bibliography, Index
