Vintage Prettiness

The approach of Easter always makes me think of pretty dresses in pastel shades. Here are a few lovely vintage dresses from the 1920s, '30s, and '40s (all found on Etsy).

1940s Pale Lace Party Dress from Thrush
1920s Saffron Embroidered Sheer Flapper Dress from Bad Cholla Vintage
1920s Tiered Lace Flapper Dress from Vindemial Vintage
1930s Sailor's Wife Sheer Chiffon Polka Dot Dress from Simplicity is Bliss
1920s Ivory Tiered Lace Garden Dress from Open Door Clothing
1930s Silk Chiffon Sheer Ruched Lawn Dress from Allen Company Inc.

I love all the sheer fabrics, ruffles, and lace. Aren't they gorgeous?
