Stop Staring Vintage Dress Give-A-Way & the Differences between Vintage and Retro Clothing
Over the last few decades, fashion trends across the world have taken a vintage turn. This was excellent news for us as our founder and lead dress designer, Alicia Estrada saw an opportunity to create the type of vintage dresses she loves. To celebrate our love for vintage designs and clothing, we are giving away one of our most unique Stop Staring Hollywood vintage dresses.
Stop Staring’s Celebrity Vintage Dress
This one-of-a-kind, 1950’s inspired dress from Stop Staring Clothing allows vintage-loving women the opportunity to capture old Hollywood glamour in their own way. The penciled skirt elongates the legs and the dress gathers near the waist and bust to hide all possible flaws in the body. Gorgeous fabric, a special pattern and a vintage silhouette truly set this dress and its wearer apart from the crowd. To win this dress…
One of the reasons we are so pleased to give away one of our favorite designs, the Celebrity Dress, is because we are positive that it fits the trend that is moving further towards the popularity of vintage designs.
The Popularity of the Vintage Design
Over the last two decades or so, we’ve see a definite movement towards vintage/retro inspired clothing designs. The reasons for the popularity of this style are clear, with many women feeling these styles offer more coverage while accentuating their curves than the modern dress designs of today. Whether the vintage dress is considered Hollywood glam or a rockabilly design, many of our buyers feel they have distinct styles which are showcased through their Stop Staring Clothing.
The Differences between Vintage and Retro Clothing
While popularity of vintage clothing has been high recently, the term “vintage” is used rather loosely. Vintage in fact relates to clothing made between the time periods of the 1920s and the 1960s. Clothing styles and designs dating back before the 1920’s are considered be to antique and are coined as such. You may be asking what the term retro has to do with vintage or antique clothing but in fact, retro designs are more popular than any other style of clothing across the “vintage” landscape. Retro is the designing term used to define modern dress designers who imitate the silhouettes, cuts, fabrics and designs of vintage clothing. To put it simply, retro is new clothing made in the style of vintage.

Stop Staring Clothing’s Cocktail Dress Give-A-Way & Guide to Closet Essentials
Because we believe the cocktail dress is essential to a well-rounded and fashion savvy closet, we are excited to give away Stop Staring Clothing’s red leopard printed Sexy Safari cocktail dress.

Other Fashion Must-Haves
We believe the cocktail dress is essential to a fashion savvy closet but there are ten total must-have items. The first of course, is a signature, show stopping cocktail dress like the Sexy Safari. Next, a style conscious female must have a little black dress. While these are often confused with cocktail dresses, the LBD is a signature piece that is less colorful and a lot more classic. The perfect example of a LBD would be the Givenchy dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast a Tiffany’s.
Other dressier staples include a dress suit (every woman should have a fashionable power suit), a printed silk blouse and a fashionable, fitted jacket to dress up another closet must-have, a pair of form fitting jeans. We suggest a pair of skinny jeans with less than 2 percent Lycra, to keep the jean shape yet accent the body’s curves.
Traditional closet essentials also must comprise of a classic white tee, a standard black tank top (for a sportier look go with a racerback tank) and a pair of clean cut Khakis. Last but not least, no wardrobe is complete without a cute wool skirt. A-lined woolen skirts tend to look fantastic on all body types and they often come with pockets, adding a casual and functional feel to the adorable skirted look.
To complete your wardrobe essentials, don’t forget to enter to win the Sexy Safari cocktail dress from Stop Staring Clothing by entering the drawing below! Remember you can enter the contest everyday!

Stop Staring Clothing’s Top Three Retro Fashion Tips
If you are just defining your own retro style, here are our top three retro fashion tips to truly pull off a one-of-a-kind look.
#1: Find Your Era
Vintage designs are defined as clothing from the 1920’s through to the 1960s. Retro clothing can be newly made designs that are styled after vintage clothes. Retro also has begun implementing the unique styles of the 70s and 80s as well. To begin defining a personal retro style, one must find the era of clothing that best fits you. Our personal favorite eras include the 1940s, 50s and 60s.
#2: Blend the New and Old
Because retro styles are inspired by the silhouettes, patterns and materials of past clothing designs, it is ideal to blend the new and old for a spectacularly pulled together and custom style. Pairing a one-of-a-kind retro dress with vintage statement jewelry (necklace, ring or bracelet) blends the fashion of the past with retro clothing, completing the look.
#3: Look for Unique Pieces
While a bold statement necklace could be considered a unique retro piece, other unique pieces could be a retro styled dress, a pair of lace gloves, a vintage purse, a hat or the perfect pair of shoes. Accenting a retro closet with unique pieces, one can then pull off a one-of-a-kind look. Get your unique piece from Stop Staring Clothing’s dress selection today.

Sometimes it is helpful to know a little bit more about the fashion movement that inspired our Cover Girl dress. Let’s take a look at the birth of rockabilly and how it is interpreted today.
The Birth of Rockabilly
The blend of rock and roll music that has been coined rockabilly is originally sourced back to the 1920’s but didn’t really take hold as a defining movement in American history until the early 1950s. One of the greatest and most classic examples of rockabilly music is the toe tapping tune of Bill Haley’s Rock Around the Clock. As you can imagine, the blooming skirts of the 50’s blended with swinging rock music defined a generation and rockabilly clothing was born.
Rockabilly Clothing of Today
While the rockabilly look of the 50’s and early 60’s passed on to the vintage designs of the 70’s, the Rockabilly style saw a resurgence in the 80’s and hasn’t left since. This clothing trend of today can be interpreted in a few select ways. Many lovers of this style adopt an old Hollywood glamour rockabilly design, featuring sweetheart necklines and flattering shapes. Others move towards the bright and rebellious style from the 1950’s which incorporates rockabilly dresses with bold patterns, flared skirts and a modest yet appealing dress molds. The last rockabilly trend of the world’s modern fashion movements blends the previous rockabilly designs into a pin-up style that flatters the figure, features sweetheart necklines and displays bold, classic and bright fabric patterns.
