Are you a sucker for the sleek silhouettes of the 1930s? Those playful shears, when worn modernly, still look en vogue. Maybe the dame-amplifying angles of the ’40s, the frilly frocks of the ’50s, or the hostess eras of the ’60s and ’70s are more in line with your textile temptations. Whatever your favorite moment in time, you’ll find an ensemble to celebrate it during this weekend’s Vintage Show and Sale.
Dealers are flying in from across the country to hock their frocks at the Palm Beach Convention Center (650 Okeechobee Blvd., Palm Beach) this Saturday and Sunday, so you’ll have your choice of jewelry, garments, and more, hand-picked by folks in the know. And since this is the first year this event has taken place, you’ll be in on the ground floor and have a head start at building a highly-coveted vintage wardrobe. If you like the look of retro clothing but aren’t sure how to pull it off with a modern twist, attend today’s portion of the sale. In addition to a lecture on hostess culture, the dealers themselves will be wearing mid-century garments, in a soiree-style fashion show. Call Zita Waters Bell at 561-483-4047.
