80′s Gypsy
I've been busy going through my vintage pieces for the site, and I came across these two amazing 80's peasant dresses. The first dress is kind of insane. Ruffles everywhere. I love this dress!! It really epitomizes the 80's….
This was actually a famous style of dress made popular in the 80's and by whom I cannot recall. Readers? This dress is actually a knock off of that style I believe. Still great on it's own.
It really is over the top…
Heather's anyone?
This blue and white dress is a little more subdued, but the perfect 80's piece. So simple.
The skirt is amazingly full…
I'm crazy for a dolman sleeve done right…
I'll have both of these up on the site tomorrow……I'll let you know when I update.
Worn with Balenciaga sandals.

I think the designer you might be referring to is : Diane Freis from the 80s? She is famous for her peasant dresses, with bold colors and graphics.
I have SEVERAL of her dresses.

Candice–Yes–that’s who it was–I could not think of her name. thanks.judy
Giorgio Sant’angelo? (although he’s more 1970s) I’d love to know….and speaking of love: I love the dresses!!
i think i like the blue one more than the red one haha
Beautiful! I love all the ruffles in the first one.

definitely Diane Freis. Have made her dresses into convertible long skirt/tube dresses by cutting the top half off. Great fun bright prints for summer.
Cute for summer! http://isnotfashion.blogspot.com

I have to chime in and say how much I love dresses like this! There’s such an aesthetic about them, very airy and free feeling.

Love the dresses and I remember them well. I love your shoes too great pictures you are a fabulous model.
Those are so 80s and I do remember them! Pretty shots! Now I want to see your real outfit of the day! xo!
Judy, you look beautiful in both dresses! Love the bright colors and wonderful prints!
oh my god, you are so beautiful!
my mum is scandinavian and used to be a model, too, she was born in 1955 so you must be around the same age, what agency were you with?maybe you crossed each others path!
you are so adorable!
Maybe it could also be Susan Freis – Diane Freis’ sister. Are you going to put a link from your blog onto your store? xC
The blue one is divine! and I love those Bal sandals.
I love your unconventional way to choose your clothes, I would like to be less perfect and more over the top like you
Bawawwawawawawaw you are STUNNING.
The first is more Holly Harp but the second looks like Freis for sure!!
Those Balenciaga’s are 2D4!!! That 2nd photo is just stunning
xx
Oh My! I’m in love with these two dresses! Pity I’m so far from USA! Paris is a great city but you and Jane just save my day with your incredible posts! Thanks!
You are so so beautiful! I am just amazed… Didn’t know you were scandinavian though, mabey thats why I thought you reminded me of someone. I am from Norway.
Hi Judy,
these are some wonderful outfits and stylings! xx, s.
That blue dress is stunning. It has more character than most of the maxi dresses we have now.

OMG, how I love these dresses! I would so wear that on stage or even perhaps for a promo shoot! (I could only imagine the possibilities and versatility they would provide on tour, lol)
Wonderful pieces
