I love the fabulous jackets and car coats of the 50s!

I love the silhouette of the dresses of the 40s and 50s personally. I really need to try to make one some day.

I love the suits and coats from the 50s.

I love the dresses of the 20’s. The spirit and the freedom. I also love the flowing jumpsuits of the 70’s. I only wish I had the figure to rock one.

The 60’s fashion! I love the fitted skirts and dresses very femenine. Not to forget that the miniskirt was created in the 60’s.

Swing dresses, 1950s style!

vintage fashion ala Jackie O, 60’s I guess?

Dresses from the ’40’s are my fave.

I’m definitely a late 60s-early 70s girl… I’m kind of a hippie at heart, I guess! (That tailoring book looks amazing!)

I love the flapper dress and the 40’s skirts and shoes
Dec 2, 2011, 01.28 AMby soniap1
I love the 50s look, with tight waist and feminine full skirt. I wish those dresses were more practical these days!

Would love to have this!

It’s really hard to decide, as I am a costume designer, but personally I love the early sixties.
Dec 2, 2011, 12.49 AMby Timea Schmidt
Most definitely the 50’s. So feminine and elegant, but also very playful!

I love the look of the Southern Bell Dresses with hoop skirt and parasol. Can’t imagine a corset would feel good but ohhh so beautiful.

My Favorite Vintage Fashion has to be the Flapper dress of the early 1920s. The time was the end of WW1 and the beginning of a new era of fun, dancing, and jazz. My favorite flapper dress is a straight simple tubular chemise, with a dropped waist and the hem falls just below my knee. It is a beaded overdress that I wear over a slip dress and it has lots of fringe so I can shimmy when I’m dancing! I pair the dress with a coordinating headdress (headband), wound around my head that is adorned with a jeweled medallion and feathers. This outfit is totally the Cat’s Meow! Cheryl Henderson

Lately I have a yen for 60’s shift dresses. Or you can find me obsessing over, say, the Rococo. That’s really vintage!
Dec 2, 2011, 12.13 AMby Emma Neuberg
40s or 60s!
Dec 2, 2011, 12.10 AMby pattisuesews
60s fashion is my fave. Mary Quant, Twiggy.
Dec 2, 2011, 12.00 AMby animegirlie
Definitely the 40’s but mostly for the AWESOME hats and great suits!
Dec 2, 2011, 12.00 AMby Khala Foster
definitely the beautiful tailoring of the 40s
Dec 1, 2011, 11.59 PMby dameventh
My favorite vintage fashion was definitely the flapper dresses from the 1920’s. Even though they weren’t he same well-fitted garments we have now they still looked amazing.

I love the 50’s style mid calf dresses. There’s a great vintage store downtown, and I’m the only one who goes to prom in vintage!
Dec 1, 2011, 11.39 PMby fayedoll
I have a deep love for mod style dresses of the late 60’s and early 70’s.
Dec 1, 2011, 11.34 PMby lokicat
flowery 50’s dresses with wide skirts, I love them.
Dec 1, 2011, 11.28 PMby caelum224
I love madam Vionet’s bias dresses, often with only a single seam. The craftsmanship and creativity are inspiring.
Dec 1, 2011, 11.24 PMby nouvellegamine
30s and 40s style dresses. i love the clever cuts and multiple darts that many of them feature. as well as anything by chanel from the 20s & 30s.
Dec 1, 2011, 11.22 PMby Podbod18
Late 50s and sixties, smart simple silhouettes a la Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor et al, I just wish I was a similar shape to those amazingly chic ladies.
Dec 1, 2011, 11.15 PMby kath4kids
I need lots of help with my sewing techniques!
Dec 1, 2011, 11.11 PMby sharonspils
It has to be the 50 & 60’s Audrey Hepburn’s style is so inspirational.
