What are some online 50s vintage boutiques?

Amanda

I'm looking for 1950s / pin-up clothing - sweaters, pants, heels, dresses, skirts, etc. Love the style.
None of this Forever 21 Hot Topic "scene" crap. I mean real deal vintage.

Thank you!

I agree with the girl above me, but I think I saw another post and you already knew about the store...

Definitely try:

http://www.etsy.com/
They have all sorts of vintage clothes...you just have to search, try the different searches like "pin-up", "1950's" etc...

This site is most wedding gowns, they seem 50's inspired if not vintage:

SOMETIMES they carry 50's-ish stuff, nice stuff either way:
http://www.modcloth.com/
http://www.bonadrag.com/

But this is probably exactly what you are looking for:
http://www.daddyos.com/

Haha, it took a while before I could find it out of all my bookmarks...I might even have more site for you to check, but that's all the searching I'm doing for now! Send me a message if you want more links! : )

Hope this helped a little!

What style of prom dress should I get?

I am finding it realllly difficult to find a prom dress that will suit me. Everything is either too big in some places and too small in others and nothing seems to suit me. What do you think will suit me?

Here is some information about my size:
Height: 5ft 7
Weight: 125 pounds.
Bust: 32DD
Waist: 25 inches
Hips: 36 inches.

I also have brown hair and brown eyes.

Any advice would be appreciated :)

Thank you.

Having a fabulous hourglass figure means you can wear a lot of styles - but you'd look fab wearing stuff from/influenced by the 30s, 40s and 50s.. also you'd look great in corset dresses!
