5 of the Best Vintage Prom Dresses

Why would you consider wearing vintage to your prom? Well, not only is it the most eco friendly option but wearing a one of a kind dress will also greatly reduce the risk of a girl's party nightmare coming true: wearing the same dress as someone else! Perish the thought!



Wearing vintage will make you stand out for all the right reasons. One look at this alluring array of dresses and you will be wondering why you didn't veer towards vintage sooner. I've featured a dress for each style and budget but even if you don't snap up one of the coveted dresses below, hopefully the stylish selection will inspire you to scour some vintage stores or online sites yourself (such as the fabulous Etsy and Rokit) for the perfect dress.


Sheer Polka Dot Party Dress - Melsvanity (Etsy) Pictured Above
This is my absolute favourite! Something about the steely grey silver,
sweetheart neckline and black belt defining the waist makes it so opulent looking. Love it! I can't remember which Hollywood starlet wore a silver / grey dress a few years ago at an awards ceremony (Natalie Portman perhaps?) but this one has red carpet written all over it. Medium size.
Etsy, Melsvanity for US$56 (NOW SOLD OUT SORRY)
