vintage prom dresses


Growing up, my best friend had a trunk filled with vintage prom dresses. Countless weekends and slumber parties were spent trying them on, prancing around, like a teenage fairytale come true. My favorite was a strapless, fluffy yellow tulle & organza number, I can remember running on the beach in it as we pretended we were models for photography class in high school. I'd love to go thrifting and collect a trunkfull for my daughter someday, makes for very sweet memories. image via flickr

  1. Yeah! What happened to all those awesome dresses?! I fear they are molding in a trunk in my dad's garage right now. Maybe I should try to save them for Sadie and Ruby....

  2. a friend of mine is throwing a 60th birthday party for her mom--the theme is "night at the prom" and they are wearing dresses just like this and (knowing my friend Rhette)I'm sure some that are SO over the top!
