i would suggest going to your local thrift store, where you can pick up "vintage" dresses for around $3-4.

it kills me that the thrift store look is being marketed and sold as a fashion clothing line. the whole point of that style is that you're buying used, recycled clothing (so eco-friendly) and that you DON'T have to spend a lot of money for it (anti-consumerism).

the beauty in wearing a vintage look is that you have to go on a treasure hunt in the thrift store clothing racks and bins, and that you have to use a lot of creativity to mix and match separate pieces to create your own special design. it kind of defeats the purpose having it pre-packaged and pre-designed..
