We all like to think that we’re in control when we get dressed for a night out. But sometimes a gal just has to admit that she’s powerless and the dress is the one that’s in charge.
That’s right. The dress!
Take today’s VPOD for instance. This fantastic vintage 1970s jersey dress by Holly Harp dictates that you either have short locks or wear your hair in an up-do. No use pouting, whining, whimpering or arguing about it. This dress will exert its magical powers until you either pick up the scissors and start chopping off your tresses or start bobby-pinning like a madwoman.
After all, the amazing draped back with its dangling beads just must — MUST — be shown-off. And in this case, a gal’s just gotta do what the dress says to do.
Which is perfectly fine for a vintage fashionista!

Holly Harp took Hollywood by storm in the 1960s with her rich hippie looks and became a two-time Coty Award Winner. “Being dressed in perfect taste is very aging,” she once said. Perhaps that’s why even her ever-popular soft flowing chiffon dresses still have a slight edge to them.
Take today’s VPOD. This fabulous Holly Harp design is from the late 1970s/early 1980s. That’s rust red chenille interwoven with the jet black chiffon–quite unusual and very striking. And the beautiful Dolman-cut caped flutter sleeves, long sash, and draped spiral ruffle skirt just add to the overall fabulous look.
It’s a heavenly Harp for a vintage fashionista!
