VINTAGE RETRO ISPIRED

70’s dresses in some ways reprised the 40s. The stylistic touchpoint that recalls the 1940s is the V-neck, the flared skirt with narrow waist and straight shoulders. I found a late 70's silk dress that could very well be mistaken for a 40s dress.

VINTAGE DRESS WITH FLARED SLEEVES

During the 40's sleeves go extreme in tiered frill, like sweet bells of flowers. Adrian, the famous costume designer, usually drew dresses with wide flared sleeves, for Joan Crawford to hide her extremely small shoulders. After some years, in the 70's, flared sleeves embellish dresses with simpler silhouettes, for a romantic fashion with a bohémian taste.
