1950s Prom style! At Unique Vintage

Vintage inspired prom dresses blend classic silhouettes with elegant details for a truly unique prom dress look. Each 20th century decade introduces a new timeless style:

1920s: Short or long beaded or sequin dresses give a nod back to the roaring twenties where grand parties were what everyone talked about. Modern Great Gatsby inspired prom dresses don’t have to look like a flapper costume. Blend beautiful beading with a headband to match are you’ll be ready for prom the Art Deco way.

1930s: Old Hollywood and the age of classic movie star gowns create the first real red carpet worthy looks. Bias cut long gowns with open backs or sexy mermaid silhouettes all started in the romantic thirties. Most prom dresses in 2016 are inspired by this decade.

1940s: Classic movie star looks continued with ruched and gathered long column dresses for a nod to Grecian goddesses. They were modest and sophisticated, perfect for a grown up take on the prom tradition.  “Prom” first started in the 1940s too!

1950s: The 1950s left modest for fun! Ballgowns were now big and puffy in a floor length or cute tea length. They are fun to dance it and more fun to wear in retro colors- pink, teal, ice blue, and buttercup yellow.

1960s: The simple empire waist column prom dress of the 1960s has found its way back into fashion. Plain colors or better yet big bold prints are making a splash at prom this year.
