The "Bettie" Tailored Shift
Dress Fashion of the 1930’s was directly influenced by the Depression, changing the foundation of 1930’s styled fashions (from the flapper era) to a more fitted look. Everyday clothes were now quite simple. Waistlines rose back to the natural waist, hemlines rose to just below the knee, skirts became A-line, dress bodices were designed with yokes and tucks at the bottom of the bodices were popular. Necklines received dramatic attention often with round edged collars and V shape designs. Bows were another popular accent! This 1930's style shift dress comes in black stretch cotton poplin with black/white polka dotted trim. The neckline has a wide, rounded collar with a small matching bowtie at the end of the charming "V" neckline. Beautiful pin tucks and pleating along the bodice gives this dress a well-tailored, sophisticated look. The pockets are real pockets tucked seamlessly behind a flattering A-line skirt! A Red Dress Shoppe Exclusive by Stop Staring! Stretch Cotton Fabric: 96% Cotton, 45 Spandex |

The "Bon Voyage" Starburst Dress The pre-war era of the 1920’s spawned fashion representing liberation. The Navies were the embodiment of a nation’s power, and Hollywood produced a string of musicals which further reinforced Sailor inspired fashion. In the 1920's Coco Chanel turned nautical motifs into her signature style, popularizing yachting and travel on seas! The "Bon Voyage" Dress is a cute sailor girl style dress in contrasting black and white starburst embroidered cotton eyelet, with a stylized "sailor" flap playfully embroidered "Bon Voyage". The heart appliqués double as real functional pockets! The contrasting front collar tie adds vintage styling to a flattering V neckline. This dress has a slight A-line skirt. Side slits open up the skirt for comfort and ease. 100% cotton eyelet fabric with a cotton lining. (note: not stretch cotton!) Side zipper closure. **** END OF SEASON CLEARANCE PRICE!!! **** |

The "Mandy" 40's Secretary Dress In an effort to comply with the demands of women in the work force, American designers in the 1940’s created a new style of “office wear” for women, using fabrics from men’s suits for sillouettes to emphasize the female figure and oversized bow ties for finishing. Dior introduced the “New Look” in 1947 featuring a return to classic femininity with a nipped waist and longer narrow skirt lengths, which became the true hallmarks of fashion in the early 1940s. This 1940's style wiggle dress is made of a suiting herringbone fabric woven in black/grey/red/ivory. The neckline is a classic "notched" high neckline with single-pieced short cap sleeves. There is a yoke at the waist which follows by a pin shaped pencil skirt. And of course, the adorable over-sized bow tie! This dress has the artistic essence of vintage couture! 63% Polyester, 34% Spandex, 3% Nylon |

The 50's era "Babylon" Dress - Black A 1950's era reproduction dress with all the sizzle and glamour of a Hollywood starlett ... but without the scandal. Simply gorgeous and dangerously stunning ... turn heads with this retro cocktail dress that goes from day to a night out! The unique design of this dress creates a beautifully form fitting silhouette, with pleated darts on the bustline (accommodates most bust sizes), back-crossing straps, and an attached tie belt in back to smooth the waistline. Fully lined with invisible zipper up the back. The skirt is a-line shaped with a slight flair. The vintage inspired contrasting collar, yoke, and buttons are just perfect. The picture just does not capture how pretty this dress looks on! Size Chart: Dress 16 This dress has a bit of a short torso. If your body is long, it is recommended you order one size up. (looks best worn with a strapless bra) Helpful hint from another customer: If the straps feel too tight, cut them in back and wear it as a halter dress! |

The "Bugle" Blouse A 1930's war time inspired blouse with a modern ensemble. With lightly puffed and pinched 1/2 sleeves, slimming "fishtail"ruching down the center, and a large center bow that is only pinned on so it can be removed. The sleeve cuffs end right above your elbow, and the "V" neckline is most flattering to the bustline. The fabric is a beautiful teal in a lightweight pointelle with flower "cut outs", and has a raw edge finish, giving it a modern edge to a classic design. Tip: Wearing just a black bra is sufficiently discreet if you wish not to wear a tank underneath. Looks fabulous with a black skirt or capri pants!
