Over the last few months I have developed a passion for all things 50's!
I myself am very feminine and love the drop-waists, full skirts, detail such as pearl buttons and halter-tie necks.

Here are some pictures of me *new* dress. Authentic 1950's drop waisted dress, worn by my grandmother. It is a tiny bit big but thats nice in the summer anyway.

Pretty, si?


This is a better shot for the detail..


To give you an idea of the skirt..


I am trying to build up a larger collection of clothes like this, but on a limited budget and with time that is not my own it is difficult! My other *key* piece is a peachy long sleeved v-neck cardigan, ribbed around the wrist and the waist. It isnt a genuine 50's cardigan but it has that style and I plan to get some pearl buttons to sew on and make it that extra bit special My next purchase will hopefully be some shoes like these..


at £65 (approx $90) they are a bit dear!

I know the majority of you dress in an 'alternative' or 'gothic' style ~cringes at how terribly worded that is~ so this may not interest you, but I adore it and thought I would share.

Nice clothes Sybelle. I wonder if there is a market for 50's clothes....

Oh there must be!

if i was pretty like you id wear nice dresses like that, cause believe it or not vintage dresses are the best in my opinion. but sadly, im not one who could puLL off that look, so i tend to steer clear of it. it suits you tho!! gorgeous...

Thankyou bubbles.
And you are pretty, just different pretty.

welcome sweety

but yea, the only thing i could reaLLy actuaLLy puLL off is the grunge tee shirt and jeans look

sybs i really mean it you are gorgeous you are insanely cute. and im positive there is still a market for it. i keep seeing new age rip offs of 50's style cloths. but theyre still cute

Thankyou I want to get those shoes when I reach my 'goal', as a sort of prize, but who know's, by then they may be out of the shops and that would make me sad. Maybe I will buy them and give them to my mum to hide away from me.

hehehe lol

I must say, Sybelle, I myself am a lover of 50's styled clothing/hair, ect.

I love your dress! You look great in it.
I have an awesome 50's vintage dress in pretty good condition I found at a local vintage shop.

Thankyou DarK_GrrL
You should post a pic of you in it.
It's perfect weather for that dress but unfortunately the stupid mosquitos have rendered my legs out of action. Bastards.

I have seen a 50's playsuit on one of my favourite internet vintage stores, only £10 ($18) which I really want but I have a feeling it will be too big.

Aww ~pinks~
I wish I hadda taken a pic on Thursday night when I went out, my hair was hot! (if I say so myself )
Im downing antihistimine pills like they are going out of fashion.
Bouffant beehive!

Freak show make-up?! I'd hardly call it that! I love your make-up.
