The 50's vintage lace dress.

I have always been in love with the pastel 50's lace dresses. My love first came for these beautiful gowns was when watching the movie Grease as a child (5 years old). Which is one of my all time favorites and I would VERY MUCH recommended if you have not seen it go watching it right now!. But anyway..I thought I would write a column on these pieces and where I have found them most common for sale. It took me so long to find a website which sold these. The only really good site I found was Etsy.com Which is a amazing site for handmade,vintage and unique pieces you wouldn't find anywhere else.

The dress that Patty Simcox wore to the dance/prom in the film grease was a stunner. Just so y'all know who I'm talking about here is a photo of the lovely but very annoying Patty Simcox.  
LOOK AT THE BEAUTY OF THIS BEAUTY..
It makes me want to dance and twirl like a little girl oh my.
This dress is from Etsy at @vintagevortex which also has a WIDE range of beautiful dresses that i droll over.
Anyway one of the main characters, Sandy..
 Had a very cute but simple gown which was white with a very thin layer of tulle and a unique neckline. In the background you really get a great look at all of the gowns but for more of a closeup of dresses WATCH THE MOVIE. Anyway..Here is a photo..
 Awh..look at them jamming out..anyway..
I feel they didn't need to draw attention the the dress due to the amazing dancing skills. The dress is white and simple..but the small detail makes it very unique. I found this dress which reminded me of hers here..
Although this it very much puffy and lacy (Unlike hers) It's still white and simple and unique..
I adore this dress and you can find this on and many like it at the same Etsy shop at Vintagevortex.
Now for Frenchy, Frenchy was such a unique, cute and quirky character. I love her dress as it was cute, Very out there and very much suited her character..

Look how cute and happy she looks..
Anyway her dress looked something like this..

Athough hers had some red on it.. Nothing a red ribbon and broach couldn't change..
This dress is also from the same Esty store @VintageVortex. 
Now for Betty Rizzo.Her dress was also different and beautiful..not pastel and lacy but still beautiful. Here is a photo..

Her dress was a sort of mermaid styled dress. It's red with black spots all over and a ribbon on the back and a complimentary black flower corsage. The dress really suited her character, It was sassy and  fierce and very out there. Which I love. Here is a dress that reminded me of the same dress


NOW, yes this dress is very different but it's very out there and beautiful and reminded me of the character Better Rizzo. Pared with black accessories will complete the look. I also feel this dress is more feminine..(not that hers wasn't) but this dress is more girly and softer with the use of fabric and feathers.You can find this dress also on Etsy @OffBroadwayVintage

P.s none of these photos are mine they have all been found and taken from Esty and I do not take any credit for them.
I'm simply appreciating the beauty and envying the sellers.


THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
Bye.

Hello, My name is Bree.
This is my entry or bio blog post and it is my first. I enjoy sewing and art (Drawing and painting), Anything that is creative is a great distraction for me and a desirable outlet. I enjoy Horror movies, Vintage anything and everything and raisin toast. I'm not sure what the theme of this blog will be but I'm looking at new interests and this seemed to be a great way to start something that I may or may not enjoy. But hopefully I will love this and make at least someone happy. Writing isn't my strongest point but maybe this will help in that area which is something I have been interested in. I also have a Tumblr if you would like to check that out, It will give you a idea on the type of stuff I enjoy or like so you can check that out at at http://sahsassy.tumblr.com/, . It's also somewhere you can contact me personally. So I'm going to leave this short and sweet.
Toodles.
