CHC Vintage June 2017 Box

CHC Vintage is a vintage fashion subscription box. Choose a dress box or a t-shirt and jewelry box. For the dress box, you can also choose from categories like “90s Grunge,” “Bohemian,” “Vintage Prints,” “Romantic,” and “Minimalist.”  This is a review of the dress box, “90s Grunge” style (I was in high school and college in the 1990s). You can see some examples of what the CHC Vintage folks consider to belong to each category on the sign-up page.

There isn’t an information card with this subscription since the items are vintage and selected according to your preferences. However, there was a nice card with a personalized note and some styling suggestions.

1990s Vintage Embroidered Dress

I didn’t calculate a value for this dress because it is vintage. But, it was in excellent shape (no holes, no tears, no fabric pilling, all embroidery intact, it was clean, and the zipper in the back worked).

This fits well and is a little bit more comfortable around the midsection than last month’s dress, actually.  I don’t typically wear black because I don’t want to look too much like a Goth with my dark hair and pale skin, but I think if I get a pastel cardigan, that will lighten it up a bit. I do love the floral pattern; that is right up my alley.

The material is somewhat thick and canvas-like and the dress was a bit warm for the day I took the photos. I’m thinking this will be more of a spring or fall item for me.

Verdict: The dress I received from CHC Vintage was a good fit for my personal style. I feel like it really was personally curated, especially with the handwritten note, and I know I would pay more than $35 for a similar dress in a store, so I feel like the value was there, too.

What do you think of CHC Vintage? What style would you choose?

How is that grunge?

Eh, I think it is more representative of 1990s in general than of “grunge” per se. Probably they could stand to revise the descriptions of the categories a bit.

Though it was often a strategy for me in the 1990s to wear a dress (usually a bit longer than this) with a thrift store cardigan and a pair of Doc Martens. (Ah, high school…)

I knew I should have held on to more of my clothes from the 90s… They’d be back in style now, only cooler because they’re “vintage.”

Grunge? Nope. Very very pretty though!

Agree! This is a pretty, feminine dress. “Grunge” makes me think of the smelly-looking, torn Kurt Cobain look.

Cute dress! So 90s stuff is vintage now? That makes me feel soooo old!
