Can you believe that chiffon is the French word for rag?! This lightweight sheer material can be dyed any color and makes gorgeous flowing dresses. Yes, it’s delicate and must be handled with care as it rips and snags easily. Yes, it must be hand-washed very gently or perhaps dry-cleaned. But it’s all worth it for two little beauties like today’s VPODs.
These 1960s dresses from Lilli Diamond evoke the glamour of Marilyn Monroe–sexy yet extremely feminine. They’re a perfect match for you high, high heels and look great with grandma’s pearls although I like the juxaposition of pairing dresses this classic with an avant-garde piece of jewelry.
They’re colorful finds for a vintage fashionista!
Available at Unique Boutique NYC.
