Vintage Dress Style Inspiration

Posted on 2:44 AM by follow me

I have been gassing on for a while now about how I am going to get my act together and finally design and create my dream vintage dress collection and being based in Singapore seems to of put all my cards into place. I am surrounded by some of the finest seamstresses and tailors in the world and for the first time I can see my dream become a reality and it is both exciting and scary at the same time. I never thought this would be easy, but when you suddenly have the chance to create a dress of dreams the pressure can get to you. Which era? What colour? Fabric? Shape? Inspiration? Argh. So I have been collecting images and swatches over a long period of time and have started mood-boarding extensively which is one of my favourite things to do. See above! 


I love the idea of creating iconic dresses from the 50s and 60s....so please tell me what does your dream vintage frock look like? Colours? Fabrics? I find vintage fashion so inspiring, but I am finding it a little intimidating too. I would love to know what you all think? Do you wear vintage reproduction? Or would you rather stick with Vintage?


Let me know by leaving a comment below sweetcheeks!
