Vintage Dresses

Vintage dresses from the 1920s through the 1990s. Gently used dresses mostly from the mid-century in all sizes, for all occasions, and for all women.

Vintage 1970s tennis dress sports outfit – with label that says Vaya

Vintage 1970s drop waist (“1970s does the 1920s”) tennis dress with a faux skirt. Looks like a skirt but really shorts! This would be really practical and cute for playing tennis, golfing, or doing other sports in. Woven polyester in navy blue and white.

Vintage 1970s or early 1980s psychedelic paisley shirt dress

What a cute vintage shirt dress! I’ve worn this out myself but can’t find pics 🙁 It’s sure to grab attention and compliments with its psychedelic but classic green on black paisley print.
The skirt part is lined but the main dress is sheer flowing viole. It zips up the side with a nylon zipper. No tags but it feels well designed and well made. I noticed the buttons are slightly loose, as would be expected for a dress this age, but no stains nor holes.
Approximate modern size 14. Measures (doubled at bust, waist and hips):
41″ long
40″ bust
31″ waist
24″ sleeves from shoulder seam

Cute classic nautical inspired navy blue and white polka dot vintage sheath dress

This is such a darling classic navy blue dress with small white polka dots! The collar is nautical inspired and is sewn in a double bow at the front of the scoop neck.

The print appears to be sheer polyester viole, and the whole dress is lined in dark navy blue acetate. The seams are pinked and reinforced with zig zag stitching, and the zipper is metal. I believe this vintage dress is from the 1960s.

Measurements:
34 inches long
16 inch shoulders
40 inch bust (doubled)
32 inch waist (doubled)
40 inch hips

Cute classic XXS vintage early 60s dress

Cute classic XXS vintage early 60s dress

This classic extra petite vintage dress is from the 1950s or early 1960s I think. Excellent vintage condition. Would be a cute work or school dress. Has a smooth metal zipper up the back, adorable buttons up the front, practical pockets, and is made from a soft cotton blend. It’s unlined and has no tags except what I think is a faded ILGUW. As you can see it does NOT zip up my mannequin all the way.
Measures flat:
36″ Long
16″ bust (32 doubled)
12″ waist (24 doubled)

Timeless vintage silky sheath (large)

Timeless vintage silky sheath (large)

Timeless silky green dress in a small floral paisley print. It has hand-stitching and unique details with muslin lining on the top and what I think is acetate lining on the skirt. There is also a snap at the neck. This vintage dress is priced to reflect 2 minor flaws I found: the almost imperceptible threadbare spot by the left armpit and what appears to be a paint spot on the bottom hem.

Measures flat:

41″ long

21″ bust (42)

20″ waist (40)

22″ hips (44)

Cute Classic Long Sleeve Vintage Pinstripe Dress

This is a classic black and white diagonal pinstripe dress that I found in some other 1970s clothes. Keep it buttoned up for the office, and button it down for a sexier look at night. You could even jazz it up with a belt (eventhough there are no belt loops)! It’s lightweight and 100% polyester. Fully lined. Label reads Jolie Femme and 46.
