Vintage.....Glorious Vintage!

I was absolutely speechless when I ran across the website shrimptoncouture.com. So many beautiful items assembled in one place.......beautiful vintage dresses, skirts and accessories. They also offer a selection of items that have been restored or reworked from vintage pieces. The saying "everything old is new again" is certainly a true statement. when I look at the maxi, beaded, ruffled, chiffon, print and brocade dresses, many look very much like today's designer offerings. One of my favorites is the harem jumpsuit, and as shown on the runways and beyond, everything from short to long harem pants and jumpsuits are back in a big way. As a lover of vintage clothing accessories and more, it was such a pleasure for me to create this post. Enjoy!
