what style would you call this dress?

fly_dragon_fly

it was only by a luck that i found this dress in a charity shop but i love the way i can spin in it like i am 8 again and i love the style but i am not sure what to ebay/google to find ones of the same style you cant really see it but the top is straight and fitted to the waist where it then floats out.

i love love love this style but can rarely find it what am i doing wrong?

It's quite a 50's style dress, you could try searching for that... or try swing/rockabilly/circle dresses

You may well fall in love with the Dollydagger website! It's a rock and roll type dress I think.

if you type 50s Prom dress into ebay you should find lots

honeypieboutique.co.uk and dollycouture.com (in america I think) also have lots of lovely frocks and are quite good value.

if you really want to daydream (and ignore the costs!) check out the Candy Anthony website.

I was looking for a 50s prom dress too but ended up doing something very very different instead still a bit torn really!

also become a rocknrollbride.com convert, some fab stuff there!
