However, most of the apparel lacked the original drama of earlier suitings created in the 1940's and 50's. This polyester jacket from the 1980's comes from the declining years of that company. But it seems to draw from past styles with bold geometric color blocking, something we expect in a 1950's suit jacket from Lilli Ann.<br /><br />This jacket sports some fun details such as applied trim to accent the color areas. It applies a balance that would flatter the wearer, emphasizing wide shoulders, narrow waistline and shapely hips.<br /><br />A few years later, this well known San Francisco brand would close forever.

Of course, there is the nostalgic part in playing dress-up and putting on something great from another era, but there's also the figure flattering body fit too. No matter what you may think your figure looks like, it's going to be even better when you zip into an 80's corset dress. <br /><br />Isn't there some reason you can find to have your fling in an 80's party look? Surprise mom, dress up for the next Sunday family dinner. You'd better warn your little sis though, or she's going to be really jealous!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4aUlm0fvvIC0m9oVeltyLIJaWpd-put0sWVSOFU9QFnb2RaCtYz48UyKoN4jvZEGqdi0ady6emWe5-miDg3nx6qsnzmn6MnO9Lft4HS_xTopyFngvHSWIDWeI6VjI1bc9thxjbt_UlIxn/s1600-h/Slide2.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438310769698504674" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4aUlm0fvvIC0m9oVeltyLIJaWpd-put0sWVSOFU9QFnb2RaCtYz48UyKoN4jvZEGqdi0ady6emWe5-miDg3nx6qsnzmn6MnO9Lft4HS_xTopyFngvHSWIDWeI6VjI1bc9thxjbt_UlIxn/s400/Slide2.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 347px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25860744">Polka Dots with Black Skirt</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=25803731">Polka Dots on a Flaminco Skirt</a></span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOrl_4cfB5FvX-SR0eY7ayTBhcds1Tm8jJtJ9xqr1ElXm8jTpBrJ6_LIvGjtkZyLHYs3Ttb4WvaE0exaX__EqBLFrkxDGaGMwKm3Roeog3XocosIwohxr52QbQtDl3YFiqwkakqE6fIr_b/s1600-h/Slide3.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438310220980753698" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOrl_4cfB5FvX-SR0eY7ayTBhcds1Tm8jJtJ9xqr1ElXm8jTpBrJ6_LIvGjtkZyLHYs3Ttb4WvaE0exaX__EqBLFrkxDGaGMwKm3Roeog3XocosIwohxr52QbQtDl3YFiqwkakqE6fIr_b/s400/Slide3.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 355px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36669721">Vintage 80's Corset Party Dress in Denim and Lace</a><br /></span>

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 href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY0KD6TlGGKb9nBAUz93AwCr2vVKW7IiL0FMVnr2y1QclLjh5CfWBsQ8Za0_xNFpsRzUYb1QPg003Ke5JeBmv1vR51V_TtCVxaXFdw0-11E6k7IlbzMTLfc2aITcy5nJdsfx82UqN9FubJ/s1600-h/Slide1.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><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>
