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. 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! <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> <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> <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> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36669721">Vintage 80's Corset Party Dress in Denim and Lace</a>

But there is a real emphasis on crossing fabric across the front bodice during the 20th century. Perhaps it was Paul Poiret who injected this time honored style with a new twist. Certainly his infusion of kimono and other Asian details into western fashion of the 1910's brought wrapping into prominent use for the new century to come. The vintage fashions shown below are a gallery of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results_shop.php?search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_6215531&search_query=wrap">surplice styles</a> that date from the 1950's through 1990. You will find that certain eras show a strong style identification with body wrapping, drapery and other forms of garment construction that involve crossing fabric over the bodice front. The gallery is composed of garments from our collection, those listed in <a href="">Pintuck Style on Etsy</a>, and others that have sold. I hope it provides you with a new appreciation of the surplice, and how many versions can be created from this one concept. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMX_Vwg_P55tAqxuK7JML9PsDNhsmZzeAESM6Cc0TepZWNoUlACxexH1LmS717WXdPdf1GNjTGjKKxqaHoqAqww3Y2DEvshrOHZC_nboVPhRctgKQZ8eFy8Nyxr2Qgx7gv8pLnoGilGcyL/s1600-h/Slide1.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436296707892942322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMX_Vwg_P55tAqxuK7JML9PsDNhsmZzeAESM6Cc0TepZWNoUlACxexH1LmS717WXdPdf1GNjTGjKKxqaHoqAqww3Y2DEvshrOHZC_nboVPhRctgKQZ8eFy8Nyxr2Qgx7gv8pLnoGilGcyL/s400/Slide1.JPG" style="display:block;
