We've called this a "Top Ten" but… it isn't really. There are just too many wonderful retro-style dresses out there right now for us to possibly narrow them down to just ten, so this is really just a list – in no particular order – of our favourites right now. We'll probably be drooling over a completely different bunch next month, but for now, enjoy!
Vintage Inspired Sailor Swing Dress
Because we're obsessed with all things navy and nautical, and would you lookit that teeny-tiny waist! Hubba hubba! (Wait: did we just say "hubba hubba"? See what this stuff does to us?!)
Wiggle dress with secretary collar
Because sometimes the "sexy secretary" look just seems like a good idea.
50s style polka dot swing dress
Because no retro dress collection would be complete without a polka dot swing dress….
Betty Page 'Captain' dress
Because apparently one nautical-inspired dress wasn't enough for us…
40s style bombshell dress
Because we never met a Stop Staring dress we didn't instantly want to wear…
50s floral print halter
Because Vivien of Holloway gets us every time.
Red gingham halterneck
Because it's just about as summery as it gets.
Betty Page Jazmin dress
Because it looks even better from the back.
Yellow cotton halter dress
Because it's yellow, and the bow makes us think of presents. Everyone loves presents, don't they?
Red 'Ella' wiggle dress
Because… oh, just because…
aaahhh i just love this sailor swing dress
This is officially my favourite ever FP post – I want every single one of those dresses. Been feeling wretched today but just looking at them cheers me up!
Yep, just gorgeous. I can’t even begin to pick a favourite…sigh. Thanks for the eye candy:o)
Beautiful! If only I could afford to indulge my love of retro dresses. And as long as I’m wishing for things I can’t have, I want the voluptuous figure of the blonde in the first picture, too!
I want them all!
I looked at the website, when the red wiggle dress was posted, and the blonde model is wearing a corset in basicly every picture (it cheered me up a bit to know that waist isn’t natural)
But I agree with Steph, I want all the dresses!
hey, i nominated that yellow dress for dress of the day a while ago. i was disappointed you didn’t publish it, but at least it turned up this way.
I’ve just got sexy secretary glasses… now I want sexy secretary dress too. I don’t care if I’m freelance and no one would see it! I want!
oh wow all of the dresses are beautiful!!
I particularly like the yellow one – where is it from?
i love you guys. really.
best. post. ever.
Tasha, if you click on the titles under each dress it will take you to the product page – the yellow one is from Unique Vintage
I think you just cured my forever ongoing cold.
Oh, beautiful dresses, I love you! (and you, Fashion Police, for this post)
Love the first one, and would really love the red gingham one if the skirt was wider.
Also love the shoes in the last pic.
Oh dear, pinup-parade.com is in the UK – time to lock up my credit card…
I’m with Steph. This has to be the best post ever. I think I want them all.
Oh my…
How beautiful!! Utterly gorgeous, you’re making me drool~
Have to agree with you there, Fashion Police: TINY, TINY WAIST. Damn.
the jazmin dress is utterly amazing
I think I was born in the wrong era .. 50’s style retro dresses make my heart skip a beat more than anything.
Ooooh. I especially love the floral print halter dress. So cute!
Oh my! I love all of them. Great post!

Love them.
