One could say that vintage clothing is currently experiencing its second youth. The trend for clothes from our mother's, grandmother's, or even great-grandmother's wardrobe does not pass and has been noticeably dominant on the world runways for several seasons. However, this year, a particular piece of attire that never loses its beauty is gaining popularity: the romantic Victorian-style dress.
Vintage dresses – fashion with soul
Vintage dresses are not a novelty in fashion. They appear in designers' collections from time to time, in various configurations, color schemes, and vibrant accessories. There is no shortage of charming 50s style dresses in fashion, and 80s clothes triumph in the trendiest clubs and on the most fashionable streets. The Victorian dress, however, is the icing on the cake, an item that gains value as the years go by.
If, however, no romantic dress in a similar style has survived in your family, you can confidently reach for the latest proposals from the biggest fashion designers. Their vintage dresses, although sewn today, also impress with their beautiful transparent materials and decorations that bring to mind hand-embroidery from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Romantic dress, or what?
What distinguishes a Victorian dress sewn in a modern way? Its classic version is long, reaching the ankles. It's made of a light, transparent material that subtly uncovers selected parts of the body. It's decorated with bright embroidery, lace, or a small frill. It's very feminine and girlish at the same time, and that's its secret. It's not aggressive and distinguishes itself with timeless beauty that will work for any occasion.
Victorian-style vintage dresses can be worn on special occasions, including weddings, or even your own wedding. Fashion fans often choose this type of dress for this special day, knowing that they will look stunning in it.
Vintage clothing for every occasion
Vintage clothing, if properly styled, also works well on a daily basis, in the form of romantic styling, which is the hottest fashion trend this season. You can break it up with a leather or denim jacket, sporty sneakers, or create a subtle look in the romantic spirit of vintage. Such a dress doesn't need many accessories because it is a sufficient decoration and the main point of styling itself. It goes well with subtle accessories and delicate makeup.
Which designers followed the Victorian spirit in fashion? You can find vintage dresses in the collections of Isabel Marant, Self Portrait, or Zimmerman. A classic romantic dress usually has a light color, so you will most often see it in shades of white, cream, or powder pink. Self Portrait dresses, however, are also available in a womanly vibrant red. Among the top designers, you will also find proposals in classic black, which can also exude romance.
