Vintage Prom

My littlest sister was just asked to her senior prom and I'm trying (it appears unsuccessfully) to convince her to buy a vintage dress from etsy like this Peach Party Dress or Lace Cream Dress. I really wish etsy had been around when I was picking out a prom dress 12 years ago, but I can try to live vicariously through her now, right?

What gorgeous dress! I completely agree too, I wish etsy would have been around when I went to prom. What a very lucky sister!

What a fun dress! My niece use to wear vintage dresses to her school dances, they were so cute! Not to mention, no one else had the same dress :)

Totally feel you on that! I love all the vintage formals on etsy, and I definitely would have rocked one to my own prom if etsy had been around back then. I remember scouting the thrift stores for a good vintage dress, but I didn't find one. I ended up wearing a black kimono that I borrowed from a friend.

I've tried to convince many a teenage girl to do the same, but to no avail...yet. The vintage dresses are just so beautiful and what they are wearing to prom these days...just glad I'm not the mother of a teenager yet.

I wore all vintage dresses to high school dances back in the '90s. Back then I was a 'freak' for doing it. Ha!

Seriously, if I could do it all over again that would be amazing. I actually got all my dresses in San Francisco at some warehouse that sold designer dresses for cheap...that was pretty cool too. I wonder if they still exist?

Holy moly! If etsy was around when I got married 11 years ago, I would've loved to float down the aisle in that.

That dress is phenomenal! Etsy and a time machine would make my life so much cooler.

Gorgeous! Why didn't I know etsy when I was shopping for prom? Next time I need a formal dress for anything, I have a list of lovely etsy choices!

Gorgeous dress! Too bad we can't all get dressed up and hang out. How fun would that be! Maybe all of these comments will help convince your sister...? :-)
