Inspiration Round~up: Vintage Shirtwaist Dresses


I’ve been shopping.  Again. : P  I just can’t stop myself!  My vintage wardrobe feels very lacking, so I’ve have been perusing shirtwaist dresses with the aim to get a few.  They are the best vintage buys for me at the moment {breastfeeding still} so they are number one on my shopping list.  Although those high~waisted jeans I am after are on my Christmas wish list for sure! 

Here are some lovely inspiration pictures of vintage shirtwaist dresses {a few suits snuck in as well 
> o <} to enjoy ~ I am sure you will see why I have put them {yes, multiple!} on my shopping list.  Most of the images {if not all} are from the 1940s and 1950s, and I think that they are perfectly lovely!

  1. Oh! I just love Shirtwaist dresses...especially the dresses on the last row!  I took the 'Style Print' pattern image and actually made a shirtwaist dress out of it: http://fashionsfromthepast.blogspot.com/2011/11/my-mid-century-madness-dress.html  It was so much fun!!!
