More Retro-Chic: The A-Line Dress Returns

Think back to Ginger and Mary Ann.
Jeanie.
This list goes on. (And on.)
How can you not remember the absolutely hot 60s-style A-line shift dress?
It’s a little vintage, ever so slightly mod, but classically gorgeous – and it’s back!
A great example of a now-take on this retro look is the Milly Fabulous Obelisk A Line Shift Dress. It’s a very “uptown” look, and would look great with gold jewelry and upswept hair, my fave part is the buckled self-belt at empire waist and slant pockets at hip.
Another reason I love this style: ANYONE can wear it! Whether you are 25 or 55, it is an appropriate choice, and the A-line silhouette is very forgiving to our “curves”, skimming over the stomach and hips.
Totally cute – I’m down with this trend. (And perhaps this dress.)

This trend, coupled with the fact that I keep seeing gingham EVERYWHERE, means we can all break out our inner Mary Ann!!!
I really like this cut.
This is so cute. It kind of reminds me of an audrey Hepburn dress too.
