July 30 Vintage Inspirations: Ruffle Up!
Frilly, elegant, sweet, or dramatic, ruffles of one sort or another have a nearly perpetual place among fashion trends. The sartorial flourish is back in vogue now, so we are reaching into fashion’s archives to show you everything from tux shirts to flouncy dresses, rumba skirts to cravats. Get ruffled, vintage-style!
 
This enormous ruffle collar wrap dress from the 70s can be found at The Vintage Merchant on Ruby Lane:

Thanks, Maggie...I have had that one for some time now and thought this was the perfect opportunity to list it. Love your blue Daniel Green slippers, what a gorgeous color!

Carla, that Laura Ashley is very nice, can't remember seeing one with that sort of off the shoulder look before, nice to hear Dior snapped it up!
