Unique Vintage 1950s Style Yellow and Purple Floral Hamilton Swing Dress – Value $98

I was really excited to see the purple floral pattern this month. That is so my style. I think the yellow accents (at the top, in the belt, and the pocket) work. This is also a perfect dress for fancier summer occasions (and it is thick enough that a petticoat or slip is not required). However, this dress is snug in the waist but somewhat loose on top. I think if you had an hourglass figure (I do not), it would fit perfectly  (It doesn’t really matter what size your hips are; the fit of the skirt is pretty forgiving.) This is nice enough that I am strongly considering getting it altered (would just need to remove a little fabric to make it snugger in the bust area). Also, FYI, I could not tie the shoulder straps myself once the dress was on; my husband had to do it for me. And, this is perfectly strapless-bra-friendly. (Although I think you could see the outline of my Fitbit One if you looked closely…)

Verdict: The dress I received from Unique Vintage this month has a value of $98, which is well above the cost of the subscription plus shipping. I love the style and fabric quite a lot, I am just kind of small on top and need a few quick alterations to make it fit perfectly.

What do you think of Unique Vintage Dress of the Month Club? Did you receive the same dress or a different one?

The dress looks very nice on you, but OOF I tried it on and wanted to burn it by the time I ripped it off. The shoulders were bizarre, I couldn’t figure out how it was even supposed to be worn without the picture on the website, and the pockets and oversized buttons looked comically terrible. Having said that, this is the only Unique Vintage Dress of the Month I’ve sent back, and I’m head-over-heels for the others. 3 out of 4 so far isn’t bad! I recommend this subscription to everyone.

I had to have my husband tie the shoulder straps on me. Not sure I could’ve gotten it on otherwise.

This is so pretty, but I’m not feeling the belt. I think it would look better with a simple satin ribbon belt. MHO, anyway. You look great no matter what! 🙂

Do they send actual vintage pieces or are they mostly vintage repros? I love vintage 30s, 40s and 50s clothing but I’m a stickler for no reproduction pieces.

They only sell reproduction pieces. You might check out CHC Vintage for actual vintage clothing, though I think it tends to be for later decades than the ones you mentioned.

Monkey! I also love that you always have shoes to match with these dresses! Very unique style, but I think it looks great on you. 🙂

I do have a lot of shoes. I still need a good pair of hot pink sandals, though. Can’t find any in a style I like.

They’re really good quality dresses, too. Not flimsy at all, no strings hanging off, nothing like that.
