Whether you're looking to channel Dita von Teese's pinup girl prowess or Rachel Zoe's boho-meets-Studio 54 style, chances are you'll find the dress of your dreams at the Vintage Fashion Expo. After holding court at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium for years, the massive museum-worthy marketplace is now setting up shop at Downtown's LA Convention Center, starting this month. (Halloween costume hunting, anyone?)

Taking place Saturday, October 12th and Sunday, October 13th, over 85 top-notch vintage and antique dealers from around the U.S. will showcase their best apparel, accessories, jewelry, eyewear, textiles and more at the awe-inspiring two-day show. Expect to find gems from a variety of decades and designers past, from Victorian-era gowns to Prohibition-period flapper dresses to this serious '90s Dries van Noten black raincoat, plus merch from an array of European designers (think Chanel, Gucci, Saint Laurent and Dior, to name a few) and plenty more.

Fashionable early birds can score priority entry on Saturday from 9am to 10:30am for $25; otherwise, regular admission is $12 each day. Hours are Saturday from 10:30am to 6pm and Sunday from 11am to 5pm.
