(Re)Dressed to Impress at the Grammy's

When this 1920s-inspired Sue Wong dress came in the store, it was quite difficult to keep from coveting it. Between the beautifully draped silk chiffon, the medallion-shaped beading and the dusty ballerina pink color, it's not tough to see what made me fall so hard for it. I don't like to brag about my psychic abilities, but, let me tell you, I knew from the moment that I saw this dress that it was destined for great things. I could not have been more correct.

Previously owned by a singer and performer, it must have, "had the music in it," so to speak, which would explain how it found its way to music in its second life. When Lori came in looking for something to wear to attend the Grammy's, it took less than a minute for her to find this dress. The attraction was immediate and magnetic. From the moment she put on the dress, there was no question that this was what she would wear to walk down the Red Carpet. 

Lori also ended up finding a handful of beautiful evening dresses at our store for the rest of her weekend at the Grammy's, one of which included the Scala dress shown below. Like what you see? Come in and get Re(Dressed) to impress for your next event--think Bat Mitzvahs, Summer weddings and all your party needs.

FROCK 'n' ROLL!

Erin, about to go dancing in her stunning 1970s dress, purchased in our store

The Magnetic Fields once sang that, "Nothing matters when you're dancing." A charming sentiment, but, also, one that is totally and completely incorrect. I mean, don't get me wrong, there a lot of things that tend to lose their importance when you're dancing--things like, what you're planning to eat for breakfast or how exactly you're planning on making it through a day of work after a night of dancing. But you know what does matter when you're dancing? Fashion. Yes, fashion. Twisting and twirling on the dancefloor isn't quite the same without a fabulous dress swishing and swaying with your every motion. And when you find do find that perfect dancing dress, the spotlight can't help but find you. People can't help but notice you frocking and rolling all night long.

If, like Erin was, you're on the hunt for the dancing dress of your dreams, stop by our store and take a look through our wide selection of vintage and modern. Do you follow us from afar or simply can't wait another moment to check out our stellar dress selection? Check out our Etsy shop for some fabulous vintage options.

Introducing...ReDress Boston Vintage (ONLINE NOW)

ReDress Boston has recently time traveled back to the 70s with an influx of vintage clothing from a few estates, which inspired us to start an Etsy store called:
ReDressBostonVintage. 
For those who are not familiar with Etsy, it is an e-commerce website focused on handmade orvintage items. Each seller opens a store and sells items for a price (so no bidding like eBay). Visit our Etsy store at redressbostonvintage.etsy.com. Here is a sampling of items:

The 70s sometimes feels like the decade that style forgot because there was no homogenous look. It was the end of haute couture, with pret-a-porter or ready to wear becoming the norm. Women wanted to choose their own style, so it was a bit of a schizophrenic fashion era with such wide ranging looks from hot pants, platform shoes and bell bottoms to lacy blouses, caftans and peasant skirts. Think retromania with romantic and ethnic looks juxtaposed against the glitzy and frivolous. Tie dye, beadcraft, crochet and macrame stand out as decorative motifs. Of course, the practical working woman wanted seasonless dressing, with mix and match pieces that were in wash and wear synthetic knits for reasonable prices. More dash for less cash.
We will soon be adding pieces to ReDressBostonVintage from the 50s and 60s, but you can see these items in person in the brick and mortar store. Come in and time travel to the past or stay in the present with our great selection of spring designer and contemporary pieces.
