GIVEAWAY: Enter to win the dress of your choice from 1950s Glam


Back in April I had the pleasure of sharing about an exciting new Australian vintage style/reproduction fashion company called 1950 Glam with all of you in this vintage outfit post. In that entry I mentioned that, come the sunny days of June, I'd be holding a giveaway with this company and I'm tickled pink to announce that the day for such has arrived!

If you're not familiar with 1950s Glam yet, I encourage you to read my positive review of the company and their products in that post, so as to get to know them better. Just to briefly recap however, 1950s Glam was recently founded by two stylish ladies in Australia who wanted to bring more old school glamour to the online shopping world via the ever-expanding selection of affordable mid-century style dresses that they offer.

In addition to the fashions themselves being well priced, 1950s Glam provides free worldwide shipping on all orders, regardless of size or where they're headed to, which is a true rarity in any online shopping context, let alone a vintage reproduction settings.

My snazzy royal blue mid-century style dress is the first that I've had the pleasure of owning from 1950s Glam, but I can say without a sliver of a doubt that it - much like the friendly, wonderful interactions I've had with this company's customer service team - is a total joy. Well made, comfortable, classic and powerfully glamorous - as one might expect from a site with the very word "glam" in their name.

There's a swoon worthy assortment of vintage and pinup style dresses to be had on 1950s Glam's website, many of which I'd happily add to my closet in a heartbeat. Today though, the focus is not on my wardrobe, but rather enhancing one of yours care of this exciting giveaway.

The lovely folks at 1950s Glam have super generously offered to provide one lucky Chronically Vintage reader with the chance to win absolutely any product on their website. Isn't that awesomely kind and sweet of them to do?

Above are four of the 100+ different dresses that 1950s Glam currently has in stock at the time of writing - each of which strikes me as being especially well suited to the summer months that we're heading into here in the northern hemisphere. There are dozens more sensational frocks to be had on their site, and I highly encourage you to check this budding Australian e-tailer out.

A fabulous 1950s style aquamarine polka dot dress that is sure to steal your heart!

Day 97 of Vintage 365


 

The gorgeous item of clothing at the centre of today's post is one of those stunning web finds that I chanced upon several weeks back, and was struck (yet again) with the thought of this morning that I should post about before it's too (one never knows, after all, how long an online retailer will keep a given item in stock).

I have a running list that I keep of things that I hope to incorporate into posts here on Chronically Vintage, and this dazzling frock has been calling out at me from said list all week long, so I knew I simply couldn't let another day pass without posting about it.



If I was ticking off the boxes beside the elements that I strive to find in a vintage dress (or vintage reproduction dress, as in the case of sublime number), this positively beautiful aqua hued frock would score very, very well thanks to its full skirt, timelessly wonderful colour (that just screams springtime to me!), terrifically pretty, dainty little black velvet bow, crisp white polka dot pattern, and immensely flattering square neckline (paired with wide shoulder straps - meaning you can actually wear a proper undergarment beneath it without running the risk of your bra straps poking out!).

Dubbed The Gidget, this enchantingly lovely dress - which is available for $165.00 (Australian) from online vintage clothing seller Hot Couture - is nothing shy of swoon-worthy (hmmm, can you tell I'm more than a little smitten with it?! :) ). It's the sort of terrifically feminine, utterly elegant, perfectly timeless dress that I could just as easily imagine wearing out on a date with my beloved hubby, as I can pairing it with a cute little cardigan and wearing to run errands or relax in as I nibble a June picnic under a willow tree.

Available in ladies sizes XS to XXXL (all of which, at the time of writing this post, are in stock), this amazing 1950s style vintage reproduction dress is the kind of wardrobe treasure that could see you through a myriad of events, from attending a causal spring wedding to a PTA meeting, antique shopping with your BBF to strolling hand-in-hand on a warm summer's eve with your sweetie.

It is classy, youthful, alluring, and down-right stunning - not to mention exactly the kind of vintage dress I go positively giddy over! Smile
