It Did It My Way - How I Wore A Vintage 1930s Dress


We didn't go car booting in the end, it was peeing down when I got up so we opted for a trip to a nearby town for a rummage around the chazzas instead. It's your typical Black Country town, the high street shops that aren't boarded up are either fried chicken joints, nail bars or discount shops. The charity shops aren't up to much but occasionally we get lucky and yesterday was one of those days. In the Everything £1.99 shop, whilst scanning a rail of over-washed Primark and stained George at Asda, I had a glimpse of that unmistakable fabric, vintage wool crepe. 


I pulled out the hanger and there it was, a 1930s evening dress. At over eighty years old it wasn't in the greatest condition, there were a couple of tears in the skirt and the sequin trim was hanging off in places, which obviously meant that it was far too tatty to sell and I'd have to keep it. Hard life, innit? If you were around in the 1980s you probably think that you hate shoulder pads. Try a 1930s dress on with them in and I bet you'll be a convert.


Back in my teens, clothes from the 1930s & 1940s weren't rare, I'd buy them by the armful from jumble sales and think nothing of wearing Barathea suits, governess shoes and Utility swing coats to school, even hacking away at frumpy 1940s tea dresses to make them into cooler looking minis.  But that was over 35 years ago and the elderly church-going ladies who used to donate them have long gone. These days it's an event to find something from the 1980s at a jumble sale. 

Frida earrings bought from our fab neighbours at The End of The Road Festival. You can buy off their website HERE

Loads of people who attend vintage fairs dress in a historically accurate way, draped in fox furs with their make-up and hair done in the fashion of the era they favour. It's somewhat disconcerting to see so many people dressed almost identically, like I've been teleported back to the Blitz. Me, I wear vintage because I want to be unique. Even in my teens the thought of bumping into someone wearing the same dress as me filled me with abject horror, as it still does now. My wardrobe is 99.9% vintage not because I want to reenact the past but because I strive to be different.  That's why I don't get the repro thing, I don't want to recreate the style of certain era. I want to wear proper vintage clothing in my own way even if it has some vintage purists up in arms. I could wear this dress with my hair set in Marcel waves with marcasite earrings, red lipstick and elbow length gloves but to me that would be like being a vintage fashion victim, following a set of archaic rules. Instead I'm sporting a messy top knot, neon pink lipstick, leopard print ankle boots and silver earrings featuring Frida Kahlo, a black cat and a spider monkey. 

WEARING: 1930s wool crepe dress (£1.99, charity shop), Jones the Bootmaker leopard print boots (Free! Swapped with a customer for a vintage top)

Talking of clothes I'd better get my arse into gear and get my outfits sorted for our back-to-back weekend of vintage trading in Bath & Bristol. The alarms already set for 4.30am and the last thing I want to be doing is having a pre-dawn wardrobe meltdown.

Have a fab weekend and see you soon!

  1. I like both the period-perfect look and the vintage-anarchic look. I veer more towards the latter, myself, but have some blogging friends whose flawless period style I really admire. There's still infinite room for individuality within a period-perfect look. I guess it's like when I wasa a goth; people used to say we all looked alike, but we all knew how different we were from each other :-D Other people just saw the black; we saw the nuances.

    As for repro, I like the shapes of vintage clothing, and if repro is the easiest way to get a particular style, that's the route I'll take. Most modern mainstream clothing simply doesn't have the cut and shape of a lot of vintage styles. I"m wearing a House of Foxy dress today. There are certain brands I shy away from because their styles are *too* ubiquitous, though, I must admit. I wouldn't care if someone turned up in an identical dress to mine, but I'd be mortified if my whole look was 'vintage basic' that could be ticked off a list of 'of course...' suppliers.

    1. I blame Boy George, he lived in Walsall for 18 months, went to the same jumble sales and blew me away with his outfits. His look was utterly inspirational, it defied any genre and as a 14 year old, was a massive influence on my style.

  3. This dress is worth, say, a half dozen failed trips to the shop. These are the finds that keep me going back and back and back to iffy shops. I also remember the days of plenty of '40s clothes but I suspect you'd have to be lucky (or not) to "score" some 2000s fast fashion 50 years from now. For sure, someone will love it though, collector pieces. Heh.

    I love how you mix it all up, no rules, an original. It doesn't really bother me if someone else is wearing what I am as long as I love what I'm wearing, but that almost never happens. I like people in full-on vintage, but too much of any one thing/style makes me want to run.

    1. I'd be surprised if today's fast fashion is still around in five years time, let alone 50. A couple of years ago I bought a modern maxi dress from a chazza to take to India with me, after a week it ended up fit for nothing but the bin. I've got forty year old dresses on their 15th trip to India and still look good.

  4. Love that dress! Actually the style of that dress is so timeless 7 fabulous you could pumps & pearls to hippy-tastic with it.

  5. These days when I find a few 40's rayon dresses in a thrift store I assume they were donated after the second owner died, not the original. I'm fully aware that if I fall over tomorrow most of my collection will end up donated. I'm glad I started collecting in the late 70's/early 80's because as you say, the pieces are getting scarce.

    I like your style. I like the historically correct enthusiasts too. I probably fall somewhere in the middle for my own way of wearing them. I can't imagine passing up a great piece of vintage just because it didn't fit in with a particular time period. You've proven here that a formal gown doesn't need a formal occasion.

    I know you're not in love with wearing black, but I must say you look terrific in it!

    1. It'll be a lucky charity shop that gets your collection, Goody!
      Working the vintage fairs you see all types of ways to wear vintage from the historically accurate (down to pushing a pram with a doll dressed in vintage appropriate attire - downright freaky if you ask me) to the mad mixers. Yesterday I saw a girl wearing an incredible 1950s embroidered day dress with an 1980s blouse knotted over the top and gold brogues - fabulous. xxx

    Funnily ehough, I found a '40s (I think) evening dress in one of my favourite charity shops this week and my jaw dropped - it bloody fitted too!!

    You've taken me right back with this post - about the 80s when you could buy stuff so cheaply. I used to buy things like demob suits, novelty prints and vintage swimwear at jumble sales for pence. It makes me weep when I think about how much I've lost/trashed over the years - I still miss my Edwardian jacket lost in a house move :-(

    Thirty odd years later I still love to mix and match my clothes and eras though and this'll never change xxx

  9. I think your posh frock would go nicely with Philip's mum's faux fur and some truly outrageous boots or shoes. What do you think.
    I'm definitely an eclectic dresser, putting together whatever I like. I do admire the vintage wearers that do it with such panache with hair and make up and are beautifully groomed. It's lovely to see young and old being individuals rather than being boring high street shoppers.
    Have a great weekend.. You're sure to make everyone smile my friend xxx

  10. I wish I could wear more vintage but I really struggle to find things that suit me that also fit. I sometimes wish I could be arsed to do a full authentic look, but well, basically am too lazy to faff with my hair and stuff and I also like to feel like 'me'.

    I wish I had kept more of the original stuff I bought in the 80's.

  11. Wow! What a find! And it fits you perfectly!

    I love how you've styled this.

    I also choose vintage for the exact same reasons as you and I also mash up the vintage without thinking twice.

    We go to costumed events a couple a times a year where I will try to put together an "authentic vintage look" so that we can try to win a prize (thus far we still haven't won!).

    I had someone comment on one of the outfits I'd put together for my Instagram feed and she said it was a good costume for Halloween. Not cool.

    Hope you have a great show!

  12. When I opened this post my first thought was how fabulous you look with that bun and in that dress. I agree with you on topic of 'full vintage look' and I love that you wear vintage clothes in your style and adjust them to fit your personal taste. To me that is true creativity and style!

    I do think all vintage look can be pretty adorable, but I was never tempted to try them. I guess I don't like the idea of completely recreating a past look because it feels like copying. I do like vintage hair styles and make up but wearing them with vintage clothes can feel too historical. I imagine it is a fun look to wear to vintage fairs but I can't imagine doing it on daily basis- even if I knew how to style my hair and make up in perfect vintage style which I'm not sure I do.

    I like wearing vintage clothes because I like the sense of history about them...another thing that draws me to vintage clothes are materials. Today's clothes are often made of similar materials so vintage can feel quite original in the tactile way ( but also in visual one obviously, with its abudance of different styles and cuts!).

    I have to get back to this vintage 1930s dress...It is truly gorgeous. I love the shoulder pads. I actually love shoulder pads and I wear them despite having broad shoulders....and to be honest I also like big shoulders, both on man and women, but that's another topic. I can understand why someone might dislike shoulder pads if one associates them with the eighties because in that decade, the shoulder pads were often worn with oversized things and it was often much too much, but as you said, on that dress shoulder pads look lovely! just perfect!

  13. Well you look absolutely beautiful. I can't lie, I would definitely go all out 1930s, but that's because I love to feel like I'm playing in a dress up box, or a theatre wardrobe. The wonderful thing about a gorgeous dress like that is it's versatile to wear however you like.

    Have a wonderful weekend.

  14. Wow! You have found the dress of my dreams. It looks fabulous on you and fits you like a glove. I guess you've worked your magic on it already - doing the repairs and whatnot. You can see the quality of the dress in the photos and the way it hangs - beautifully! Wool crepe has to be one of the best materials ever. I nearly got bought an Ossie Clark wool crepe dress back in 1971 - it was £75.00 - a small fortune at the time but had to opt for a cheaper dress in the end; boo hoo.

    I love the earrings - love Frida Kahlo - a real iconoclast if there was one!

    I absolutely get you on your vintage dressing approach but I do like it when people dress the part entirely. There are a mother and daughter pair who I meet in the chazzas in Bedford occasionally who dress in a 40s style. I love seeing them...

    Have a brilliant weekend and make lots of money

  17. Hi Vix, I must admit, I'm more of a late 60s/early 70s girl, but recently I watched this movie called 'Angel' with Marlene Dietrich, that was made in the 30s, and I adored some of her outfits. It's great that your open to wearing different vintage pieces from different decades, and making them unique to you. I sometimes wonder what made me start wearing vintage styles so much, and although I think there was an element of wanting to be unique, I think I just discovered some great bands from the 60s and 70s and loved the clothes they were wearing. Hope you have a great weekend and sell heaps! Xxx

    1. Hi Jess! The styles of the 1970s borrowed very heavily from the 1930s, which probably explains why you loved some of the costumes in Angel.

  25. You're right, back in the day 30s and 40s stuff was there for the taking. I favoured 30s bias cut dresses and underwear, dresses made from brocade curtains and 1940s wool suits. My nan gave us some absolutely beautiful jackets and pencil skirts, but we took them in to fit our stick like figures and then wore them out.
    I still love those eras and would happily wear them. In fact the last dress I bought was 1930s.
    This dress is wonderful on you, you look so elegant and your figure looks amazing. £1.99 is crazy! I love the top knot, I keep seeing people wearing it but my shoulder won't let me yet. Frida Kahlo, another very stylish lady who did it her way! Hope the West Country is being kind to you. Xxx

I'm glad you were the one to find this beautiful dress, and give her a second life. The only place I see things from the 1940's and older is at the Manhattan Vintage Show, and then they are priced well out of my budget. I love mixing 1980's jackets with contemporary pieces because I love shoulder pads.

Padded shoulders, it was black, crepe, and of course I chopped the bottom off to make it a (very short) mini, bought a piece of red velvet ribbon for around the waist and bingo I had a fantastic new dress - worn with my black "granny shoes". I LOVED that dress and wore it until it could be worn no more. Your style, and you, are unique, and that's what I love about you :)I would hate to meet myself, dressed the same, coming down the street or wherever but fortunately, that doesn't happen. Hope you're having a beautiful week. xx

  44. I've always wanted to go to a vintage revival event of some kind, just for the people watching opportunities - I think it would be fascinating. But you're right, it's not exactly individual if everyone is dressed the same. Most of my friends seem to dress in very much the same way - shopping in Fat Face, White Stuff, Boden and Joules. They all look great, but all kinda similar. I'm often a bit of the odd one out but I like that.

  48. Probably I would be one of the reenacters now - you talk about. But I don't follow rules and I don't look like others, because there is almost noone else who wears dead peoples shit out there. I have a less then handfull 'true' vintage friends - but I suppose we all are wearing the eras we love quite different, because every one has different favourites.
    Me personally, I'm not interested in reanactment. I just wear the clothes of the eras that suit me best, sometimes I mix them up, sometimes I go true to with an era. It just happens. I enjoy how lovely those garments were made back then.
    What ever. I love how you dressed your artdeco dress in you personal way. It looks adorable.
    .... In the end it's all just fashion. There should be no rules, just joy! ;)
