Vintage Style Dresses

Are you searching for that perfect dress for your Pear-shaped form? You know, the one that is classy, timeless and fits your curves just right?

In today’s sea of modern dresses made with cellulose hugging fabric and are also always a few inches too short, these Vintage inspired dresses stand the test of time and fashion.

Now before you look at the smooth pencil skirt styles included below and think “it won’t hide anything!”, think again! The lovely embellishments at the top of the dresses pull the eyes up while the hip hugging pencil style gives a classic figure that is close to an hourglass shape. Shapewear undergarments also help to smooth out life’s bumps (wink).

I have personally worn each item listed and love how they fit and wear. I am a classic pear shape; 5’6”, 160 lb. mom (with a mommy pooch including!) A few family pictures with me wearing my favorite dresses that are listed below are included at the bottom of the page for you to view. I hope you are inspired and find your perfect dress (or dresses)!

This Boho dress brings sweet memories as I was only 6 weeks from having had my beautiful little girl, so this dress was perfect for my changing waistline (you know, too small for the maternity clothes, but nowhere near your regular clothing size).
