It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, maxi dress!

We continue our holiday tradition this year with the best picks of vintage hostess and maxi dresses for the holidays:

• You Bring the Razzle, I’ll Bring the Dazzle: Maximum sparkle

• How Lovely Are Thy Branches: Be the envy of all the other hostesses on the block

• The Fire is So Delightful: Holidays to the max

• Holidays on Ice: No two snowflakes are alike

Whatever you do, make it sparkle.

A lovely view of Heaven… somewhere in New York

There would be more photos, but they turned out beastly because Mrs. Vintrowear can’t figure out how to get a good shot off her camera in low lighting.

We also last night had the good fortune to meet Cousin Craig’s friend, drummer George Sluppick, who was wearing an awesome JC Penney vintage two-toned with calico print yoke.  Yes, there are photos.  Yes, the photos turned out blurry.  But yes, he wore it well.  He also gave me a button.  It’s got a wizard riding on an eagle.  I gave him a VW button.  It was a great night.

And you can be my cowgirl!

Live out your cowboy fantasies this Halloween.

Evolution of the Vintrowear Headquarters

Vintrowear now sells women’s clothing!

We’re making our Etsy women’s line debut with this striking black number.
Get it while it’s hot.  Which is now.

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song*

Building a new headquarters from scratch is hard work, but all work and no play makes Vintrowear a dull girl.  Sing while you slave!  Or just sing along.  Or, dance onstage…
