more dress shopping...

I have caused myself an issue now! I remembered this morning that I needed to buy Hedna's nightclub tickets before the end of the month- which then reminded me that if I wanted to do that for my birthday, my friends would need to but them too- cue hastily written facebook event and massive flurry of activity.

so far there will be four of us.

but, Hednas is a vintage nightclub- 1920s- 1950s so now we all need proper vintage dresses, seamed stockings, evening gloves and handbags so that we can dance away to the vintage tunes!
woop woop.
bring on the 1940s!

This is a new level of organisation, as my birthday is in october, but I am now looking for a dress- these are my finds so far... what do you think?
I REALLY wanted a 30s or 40s dress but they're very rare and delicate and therefore extremely expensive..not the thing for drinking in.

Vintage 1950s green and gold wiggle dress - 16
this one is dark green and gold :D I likes it.



Sailor dress!

this one is properly 40s- I love the print, but I'm not sure its enough of an evening dress... may purchase it anyway..

1940s clothing >dresses 40s Leslie Fey Linen Day Dress (UK12)

I love this! lipstick red! oooh sailor! again, 1940s and its linen so it'll be easy to care for.. however, it may be a bit of a small size.. apparently people in the 40s were all flat chested.

Red Lace Vintage Prom Dress 16

this is a bit too 50s.. a bit too red and maybe a bit too warm for clubbing in.. go for gamblor?

OK, this dress- the blue and yellow one- costs £199- I initially misread that and almost attempted to snap myself up a bargain.. oops.
this is beautiful though.
oh, the want!

UPDATE:

okies, I did some more searching! now I think I want this..its more of a blank canvas and its crepe..
Vintage 1940s JAIS Black Crepe Dress
