Dresses from Bygone Eras

Why Are Clothes So Ugly, Anyway?

Remember when women’s dresses were beautiful? Yeah, me either. In an interview last year British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood nailed it. “Everyone looks the same and their clothes have never been so ugly.” She blames modern styles on fast and disposable fashion. She went on to say that everyone looks like clones and the only people who are noticeable are in their 70s.

That is so true! The one woman who really stands out at church on Sunday is over 70 and has white hair. She wears, beautiful and colorful classic suits. And, her shoes always match, but not in that obnoxious matchy-matchy way. She has something the rest of us have completely lost: style. Ugh.

Vintage Clothing Collections

Shabby Apple to the rescue. The website has pages and pages of dresses from which to choose and they’re categorized in a variety of fun and interesting collections. They have names like It’s A Mod World, Ferris Wheel, Aquamaids, South Pacific, Roamin Holiday, Set Sail, Sidesaddle, Highclere Castle, Tinseltown and Carousel. They’re all affordable, too. I’ll take one of each, please.

I love those red shoes.

“…As feminine women, we create clothing that is artful in design and crafted with a vintage-style flare. Each piece is carefully constructed to both flatter a women’s figure and maintain her mystery. As feminists, we created a company that is women-owned and operated and that donates to help other women start their own businesses. With our old-fashioned style and modern ideals, we believe the best is yet to come!”
