Vintage Etsy - Dresses that Swish

When I got married, the dress was the hardest thing for me to figure out. I was an older bride, muy viejo, and some strapless number that looked even remotely prom-ish was not going to fly. And, I wanted to fly. 

My husband listened to all my ramblings about loving texture and detail, wanting something girly but not young looking, the various cons of what was out there, this dress doesn't fit the venue, that is too serious, and various blah, blah, blahings. Imagine my shock when I realized he'd been listening the whole time, and actually had suggestions for what type of dress I should wear.

He said that I should wear something that moves well. He likes the way I move (and groove) and suggested that I wear something that had a lot of movement and accentuated my waist to hip ratio. Well, hello 50s dress. Swish, bang, boom. I couldn't find anything out there so I designed one myself. I'll have to post it some day.

But for now enjoy these Etsy finds I swiped from All Things Lovely.
