I really love it, but then people ruin it with rockabilly and I cry on the inside. Especially fat girls, they seem adamant that rockabilly makes them look sexy and cheeky retro. It looks trashy, you can still do something similar that isn't.

Vintage and pin-up aren't the same thing.
Pin-up emphasizes 50s sex appeal, vintage is a catch-all term that could mean any era from "she is showing her ankles and wearing strong makeup, how scandalous!" to "I have really thin eyebrows and listen to jazz"

[Anonymous No.7360621]

Going along with OP's pic, I do really like the whole 40s/50s housewife aesthetic, especially the silhouettes, color palettes, and hair styles. I could drown myself in a whole wardrobe of mid-20th-century (both historically accurate, and modern inspirations) feminine fashion.

The bolder, more cheeky, "ooh look at how strong and independent I am in my red lipstick and victory curls" rockabilly look isn't as appealing to me.

>Especially fat girls, they seem adamant that rockabilly makes them look sexy and cheeky retro.
I've been guilty of encouraging a friend to kind of look into this. She's heavy and huge bust and is trying to ease into Lolita and it looks hideous because she tries to squeeze her breasticles into too-small JSK with a cardi over and is too fat to sit with her feet together.
Crossed legs, stockings + pumps and her cardi over a circle skirt ~would~ be an improvement.
(I'm sorry other pretty glam girls, I'm likely terrible for doing that)

[Anonymous No.7360628]

I'm alright with the red lipstick if you're going for a more pinup look, because that was a thing, but rockabilly makes me depressed.

I think chubby women can look really cute in actual retro fashion (the defined waists and full a-line skirts are very flattering), but not that sort of "edgy" Hot Topic rockabilly with badly dyed hair, tats, and whore makeup that everyone tries to do.

[Anonymous No.7360644]

OP, that's vintage/retro housewifes. Pin up is the sexy lingerie/bathing suits/otherwise revealing clothing (which often falls into rockabilly hands).

Modcloth is really bad for it. Every time I see someone wearing rockabilly I want to tear my eyes out.

The shape of the dresses is not so bad, it's when they add everything else and then have the audacity to call it classy elegant vintage because it's a dress and was called "rockabilly style"

Just put a nice blazer or jacket with cute bows and details on it

I like the retro thing, and have been trying to get my school to do a retro fashion day (its a trade school and we wear uniforms but often have special theme days). But I know someone's going to ruin it with pin up bullshit and we'll never be able to have it again.

[Anonymous No.7360661]

I like the pre-WWII looks of old Hollywood, casual flapper outfits with cloches and even Edwardian frocks. I also like the 60s mod fashion, like >>7360574 said that's a whole lot of different styles and they're all 'vintage'.

Naturally I don't wear them all as they were, but draw inspiration from it or maybe wear full outfits on special occasions. The only Edwardian thing I wear is coiffures and the absolutely-no-makeup-at-all makeup. I do have one formal dress from that period, and it's really elaborate and beautiful.

[Anonymous No.7360724]

>>7360661

Are you me? I wear Edwardian hairstyles almost every day.

I love vintage fashion, but I can't see the appeal of pin-up. Pin-up girls were usually dressed either in swimwear/lingerie or regular 1940s/1950s clothing. I don't like how pin-up has become synonymous with "victory rolls and retro clothes in flashy colours".

That said, would any of you be interested in a mini dump of vintage and vintage inspired outfits?

Yes, I know who flappers were. But it's the generic term for it nowadays.

And it's not 'just 1930s fashion', hemlines in the 20s were lower and women's clothes had a straighter figure, less emphasis on the bosom etc. In the 30s, the female figure was back in focus and women wore different undergarments.

I'm having trouble finding tutorials, but I can tell you what I do to achieve something similar to pic related:
> separate hair in four thick strands
> take one of the two strands framing your face, twisting and pinning the ends to the crown, creating a wave over your ear (I don't really know how to explain this better, sorry!)
> do the same with the other strand
> by now you should have two loose waves over your ears and the rest of your hair cascading down your back
> separate each of the two strands into two strands more
> take the "inside" strands, twist and pin them (separately, like two loose buns) low on your head
> take the other two strands and twist and pin them so they cover the space between the hair you pinned first and the two buns

I find that it looks better if you twist your hair around your finger, hold it against your head and pin it a bit randomly so it will look less like a spiral and more like a flower.

Sorry if this was a bit confusing, English is not my first language!

Granted people are larger in general now. The average height has changed too. Most of the dresses we have at this museum would need to be worn by women about 5'4" and have an average waist around 20-24". I would say the modern average height woman is about 5'8" now and would ideally have around 28-32" waist. So that's pretty proportionate growth.

Please excuse the self-post and the awkward angle, but I think old fit & flare/a-line dresses are really flattering on girls, like me, who are wide at the hips and small in the bust. Though, I find that the issue with old dresses is that a lot of them use cotton thread and are incredibly delicate. Maybe I'm just not lucky when dress hunting.

[Anonymous No.7361690]

She said she had some sort of perk or treatment to lighten her freckles on her chest, and wears body makeup on stage but she is rigorous about sun protection partially because she uses a Retinoid. Her beauty book 'My a beauty Mark' should be out soon, maybe she'll list it if she uses something in daily life to make up or bleach her skin. But I see her as the type who wouldn't tell ALL her secrets too. I can't wait for the book.

No, the dress is embroidered at the bottom trim. It has a low back too. Unfortunately the fabric is incredibly thing, so while it makes for the perfect summer dress, it's also very delicate.
I do have this dress which is a bit more out there. Unfortunately it's too big for me at the waist, but it has a really interesting stitched pattern that you may not be able to see in the image.

I'm trying to talk my grandmother into selling her old dresses. She hoarded them thinking she'd lose weight and get back into them, but that was 40 years ago and she had a 16" waist before she had my dad. They'd probably have to be collector items though and not worn, given the size. Nice stuff though cus she worked at a dress shop. Is Ebay or Etsy the best way to go, or is there some secret trove of vintage sales out there?
