Black Friday Pre-Sale Secrets: Shop Early, Save More on Retro Fashion
Black Friday sales can be both a blessing and a curse if you take the plunge and go shopping in person, but thankfully, the Internet has made this less of a problem in the modern age. Not only can you get what you need from the comfort of your own home, but you can also take advantage of pre-sale events to get huge discounts with a fraction of the effort. We at Retro Stage believe in making shopping as convenient as possible for our customers, so if you’re hoping to snag some vintage digs this year, our Retro Stage Black Friday vintage clothing Pre-Sale is the place to be.
By opting for pre-sale events like ours instead of enduring the frenzy of the big day, you can rest assured that everything you bookmarked throughout the year will still be in stock and available at the best possible prices. This also means you won’t feel pressured to hit Place Order before you’ve thought about what you really want—everything is at your pace, and you even have time to try things on and exchange sizes if you need to!
And to make things even easier for you, we’ve picked out some highlights from Retro Stage’s very own Black Friday pre-sale collection that will give you a good idea of what we have in store this season. All you need to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy browsing these incredible deals.

Pink 1960s Candy Cane One-Shoulder Dress
Let’s start with a sultry holiday favorite in the form of this vibrant cocktail dress. This eye-catching piece features a faux fur–lined one-shoulder neckline that transitions into alternating stripes of solid white fabric and sequined Barbie-pink stretch velvet. To top it all off, the asymmetrical hem creates the whimsical illusion of a melting candy cane.
1950s Halter Polka-Dot Mesh Dress
This dress is available in festive red and green variants, but it’s got enough personality to be worn all year round! The fitted bodice flows straight into a halter strap neckline that ties into a large bow, drawing the eye to the shoulders and back with every little movement of the ribbon. But it doesn’t end there—the whole base garment is overlaid with black polka-dot tulle that’s tailored to perfection over each portion of the dress, from the cinched waistline to the flowing skirt.
1950s Fur Collar Waisted Winter Coat
Investing in a high-quality winter coat is a gift that keeps on giving. This beautifully tailored option comes in five different colors and is designed to blend femininity and practicality with its sophisticated look. The fur collar and sturdy material are great insulators that will keep you warm as the temperature drops, while the asymmetrical bow belt and large pleats make a stylish statement that will have heads turning.
Green & Red 1950s Christmas Plaid Hooded Dress
This cozy long-sleeved dress with a built-in hood is just perfect for those days when the autumn breeze is hitting hard, but it’s not cold enough to put on a jacket. Sporting a festive mix of red-and-black plaid and solid green fabric in a classic swing dress silhouette, it’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to get into the Christmas spirit a little early this year.
1950s Snow White–Style Button Dress
This is a wonderful everyday dress for vintage fashion lovers due to its simple, clean design that seems to blend ‘40s aesthetics with ‘50s execution. Available in either subdued neutrals or a princess-inspired blue-and-yellow palette, this piece features a button-down bodice with notched lapels as well as a full swing skirt with a built-in belt. It serves as a comfortable go-to for warmer autumn days and can be paired with a cardigan when the weather turns cool.
2-Piece 1930s Solid Velvet Top & Mermaid Skirt
Like we said in our recent blog post, velvet is a fantastic cold-weather material that brings both comfort and luxury to the table, and this all-black two-piece set makes the most of that. The long-sleeved top features a gorgeous lace collar, a wrap neckline, and stunning button accents at the waistline, a perfect combination for high-class elegance. Though it isn’t visible beneath the hem of the shirt, the fitted skirt comes with its own belt that makes it easy to mix and match with other pieces as you please.
Rest assured that even though this dress comes in both red and green, it’s not limited to the Christmas season; its adorable polka-dot patterning, halter strap neckline, and chunky white belt are a welcome sight at any time of year. Dresses like this are versatile because they can be worn by themselves in the summer (or during warm winters) and then layered with an undershirt or outerwear when it gets colder. That flexibility makes this a great piece to pick up for Black Friday.
1960s Solid Velvet V-Neck Strap Dress
When you want to spice things up with some asymmetry, a wrap dress is your best friend. This gorgeous piece is made of plush velvet that drapes majestically across the body in waves of green or blue. From the spaghetti straps to the accentuated waist to the side slit, everything here is crafted to flatter your figure and make you feel like a sultry mid-century lounge singer.
1960s Off-Shoulder Leopard Pencil Dress
Leopard print always manages to find its way back into fashion, and that makes this slinky cocktail dress an ideal grab during our pre-sale. With its off-shoulder portrait collar and universally flattering pencil silhouette, this is a piece you can adapt to lots of different occasions all throughout the year. Add some light jewelry in the summer or a pair of insulated tights in the winter—the possibilities are endless!
Pink 1930s Velvet Patchwork Button Coat
A knee-length coat is wonderful to have when you need to protect pieces with mid-length skirts from harsh weather. Juxtaposing a pale rose base garment with a deep black collar, cuffs, and faux pocket flaps, this piece embodies a refined sort of femininity that we just adore. The coat is finished off with black-and-gold button accents that really tie it all together with some retro flair.
Navy Blue 1950s Velvet Corduroy Long Coat
We’re huge fans of outerwear that can stand on its own as a fashion statement, especially in the fall and winter, when you might need to be layered up for hours at a time. This stately coat is made of a deep blue corduroy and evenly pleated on each side of the skirt for a sophisticated yet comfortable result. Even better, its extra length means it meshes well with other vintage pieces that come down to the knee, matching their silhouette and protecting them from snow and rain.
