1990s Vintage Dress
This is a little fancier than the usual selections I get, but it is appropriate for the season – this is nice enough to wear to a dressy holiday function and yet the solid color means you can accessorize in a ton of different ways to dress it up or down or just to change the look. (The necklace in the photo was a gift from CHC Vintage a few months back when I had to do an exchange.) This was super long on me (I’m about 5’5”) but with some platform wedges, it was safely off the ground. The zipper worked great (always a potential issue with vintage clothes). Also, a regular strapless bra worked just fine with this.
Most importantly, this was comfortable. Sometimes nicer dresses are just not so comfy, and I definitely appreciated the fit and comfort here. I had a surgery about four weeks ago and putting this on was the first time I had been out of a nightgown or t-shirt and sweats in almost a month (around my waist I am wearing an abdominal binder for support, which you can kind of see especially in the picture of the back of the dress).
Verdict: I really like the dress I received from CHC Vintage this month. It fits well and is comfortable. Plus, I actually didn’t already have anything appropriate for holiday parties or functions since I lost 45 pounds last year and had to get rid of most of my old clothes. I feel like this subscription is definitely worth the $35 a month, too. The quality and condition of the dress this month were great, it fits nicely, and they ship in Priority Mail flat rate boxes, which eats up quite a chunk of the $35 as it is.
