VPOD: Vintage Betsey Johnson Alley Cat Dress

Wearing a Betsey Johnson dress is like putting on a good mood.” – Whitney Blausen on FashionEnyclopedia.com

What Mary Quant did for youth dressing in Great Britain, Betsey Johnson did for the hip and young here in America and this is such a perfect description of her fashions!

Today’s VPOD features a vintage 1970s dress from the time Betsey spent designing for the ready-to-wear firm, Alley Cat. She took a slinky, clingy black dress and injected it with unexpected blocks of color and a oh-so-low lace-up front panel.

It’s a little black dress (with a twist) for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Vintage-A-Peel.

VPOD: Heavens to Betsey

Someone once said that wearing a Betsey Johnson dress is “like putting on a good mood.” And who doesn’t want to do that?

So often I hear woman complain that they don’t know how to dress in vintage without looking old. But “old” clothes don’t necessarily mean outdated clothes. For instance, most of Betsey Johnson’s designs, regardless of the decade, are hip and young. After all, she was the American counterpart to Mary Quant’s Youthquake Movement in Great Britain in the 1960s–and Betsey has yet to lose her mojo.

Just check out today’s VPOD which features a 1980s Betsey Johnson knit jersey dress with leg o’ mutton sleeves, an asymmetric dropped waist and her coveted Punk label.

It’s comfy chic for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Woodland Farms Antiques.
