Ladies, would you want that style of dresses to come back?


I know they are a lot of work but I think men would appreciate it. I know I would.

I am a man and I would gladly give birth to a baby if it were Keira Knightley's.

I would love to wear them but they are not practical at all lol, at least nowadays. They were beautiful dresses but too much going on underneath, too many layers of things, that would become uncomfortable. So maybe wear them every once in a while. Like if there were certain days out of the month everyone can dress up like that lol. I think the 20's-60s had the best style. People dressed like nobodies business.

YES. I've always liked that kind of a fashion not these peasant clothes we wear today. :P

I wear jeans. I do wear dresses and skirts a lot. I would like to play dress up. Not during summer or everyday. It can get very hot where I live. I like the 20's-60s fashion. I like to dress similar to 20-60 fashion.

To the OP:
Would you want the style of men clothing to come back?

reply

No, the style is aesthetically beautiful but would be uncomfortable to downright intolerable in humid weather. Not to mention that tight-lacing corsets can cause all sorts of internal issues, particularly gastrointestinal, if worn frequently

Ladies, a tip. If you desire feminine, beautiful yet practical dresses inspired by 19th century clothing, vintage Laura Ashley dresses will certainly please you. I own several, and they're so dreamy! They're frequently offered on Etsy or Ebay for a good price (expect up to $80 but definitely no more than that).
