Any occasion that calls for a dress, usually allows for some flexibility and self expression, think cocktail party, wedding, formal event. There isn't usually a uniform, just a suggestion of event appropriate dressing. This gives you the opportunity to choose something you love, something unique and something that is flattering, like a vintage dress. When choosing a vintage dress you don't have to follow the trends, you can pick a vintage dress from an era that flatters your body type, and enhances your personality. A 1980s strapless cocktail dress reminds people that girls just wanna have fun. A 1950s dress with a full skirt will hide your wide hips. A 1970s long flowing gown captures your romantic side. A retro 1960s print on a vintage Emilio Pucci dress will distract from any other body insecurities. A 1960s mod mini dress will accentuate your great legs. The list goes on and on, but you get the point. So go for it. At your next event, I expect to see you wearing a classic vintage dress.
