Etsy Vintage Day: Was It Not Obvious I Want To Live In the 50s?

I've been back to searching Etsy vintage more and more lately. Trent seems to think it's boring to sort through hundreds of pages of vintage clothing searching for something gorgeous and insists that I look at some other website, any, please, but I can't help it. What if something amazing is just on that next page?

When I found these lovlies I was searching for specifically small + 30 or 40 or 50 or 60 (my beloved vintage periods). So, I apologize for the smallness of most of these finds, but we can just yearn for them together. Even though they might fit me, they won't be finding their way to my closet unfortunately.
1950s Chevron Sailor Collar Dress

Seriously? This dress is taunting me. If I saw this fabric somewhere I wouldn't like it. I might even call it ugly, but every detail of this dress comes together into something that I wish was sitting in my closet.

1950s Sheer Grapefruit Party Dress

Light, airy, perfect. This dress reminds of cotton candy and 1950s high school dances.


1950s Style Dress

Even if the last two are awesome, this dress is perfect for everyday. Adorable little details, but simple enough to get away with.


1950s Cocktail Party Dress

Thrush is one of my favorite Etsy vintage shops. Every once in awhile she finds something completely awesome and this is one of those.


1950s Jackie-O Cardigan

I'm in a sweater mood. I want to be bundled up in as many adorable sweaters I can find and I just love this little cardigan.


Fancy Dancey Stiff Petticoat

The blue bust kind of looks like an alien come to take over fall, but this is an awesome petticoat. I really need one of these for two of the dresses I own. It would really take the dresses to the next level.

1950s Bleu Fete Linen Dress

This dress feels a little prudish and could use some sprucing up, but at the same time all those little bows are so perfect with starched white collar.

    All of these are pretty fun to look at. I just wonder if they'd be comfortable to wear.
