One Man’s Trash is Another Man’s Treasure – Lisa’s Vintage Dresses

Wahoooo! Check out these vintage dresses One Hundred Dollars a Month reader Lisa found!

Here is what she had to say:

Hi Mavis! I just saw this feature on your blog and decided to “enter.”

There was a large item trash pick up just north of my town in the Kansas City area a couple of weeks ago and an old crib caught my attention in front of one house. So glad I stopped (!!) because I saw some fabric (I’m a sucker for vintage dresses) and what do you know!?

I dug through a box and brought out these two vintage dresses in amazing shape! The blue is obviously 50s and the plaid may be closer to 60s. They both fit me perfectly … and I’ve dubbed them my “trash fash” – mostly because not many of the girls wearing vintage these days dig through trash piles to do it!
