Hurricane Sandy - Our Hearts Go Out to Those Affected

2012-11-07T11:30:00.000-05:00

Last week's storm affected many on the east coast, and while we were affected with no electric or heat, that does not even compare to the loss & devastation endured by so many. Our thoughts and hearts go out to all of those affected.

We have been donating non-perishable food items, baby supplies, & more for families on Long Island as well as donating to the American Red Cross. If you would like to make a donation to the Red Cross, you can simply visit their website here: http://www.redcross.org/charitable-donations

You can text REDCROSS to 90999 to give $10 to American Red Cross Disaster Relief, which helps people affected by disasters such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, wildfires and tornadoes.

We are collecting Backpacks for children affected by the hurricane for a few gals here on Long Island that are coordinating this and will distribute these to kids in need. For every backpack we collect, we will give you a $15 credit to our store at www.Retrovintagedresses.com. These will be distributed next week, and if you would like to send in a new or lightly used kids backpack, you can send them to us at:

Vintage Inspired Dresses

2011-03-04T18:34:00.000-05:00

A sense of history repeating, vintage fashions always are in style...

There is something so classic about a Vintage style dress, it's a look that modern fashion can not quite compare to. Each era seems to tell a story through the styles & fabrics of the dresses. As time went on, the style of dresses evolved depending on what was happening in the world at that time (depression, World War II).
These styles bring a feeling of nostalgia, wearing what the "It' style was 50-60 years ago. If you haven't tried any vintage threads or vintage reproduction clothing, you are missing out on a growing fashion trend today. There are so great Vintage Inspired Cocktail Dresses that are sure to make you stand out in the crowd!

You can pair the perfect little Retro dress with a great pair of Pin-Up Style Shoes to complete the perfect vintage look!
