Vintage Find - 1960s Silver Lame Cocktail Dress

Lame has gotten a bad rep. When we think of gold or silver lame dresses, images of fast women smoking cigarettes and chewing gum a little too loudly. But this week's Vintage Find is nothing but a class act. This silver streak of sex appeal gives a dash of ostentation to a subdued silhouette. The woman who wears this is bold enough to wear lame, but classy enough to know it's best to leave some things to the imagination. And in a sea of black bore this NYE, do you really want to blend in to the somber color palette of the room, or do you want to welcome the new year with a glimmer of style?
