OK, the question has been raised. And I am glad. We need to know these things!
Is an item from 1965 allowed to be called vintage?
Here is a glossary of terms according to some research I did today. Of course, not everyone agrees on the exact number of years. But my answers reflect some kind of consensus across several "expert" opinions.
Contemporary: up to 15 years old
Retro: from the 1960s and 1970s
Vintage: at least 25 years old...unless you have a dress by a super famous couture designer like Halston. A dress of his that is 2 years old can be called vintage Halston. Yeah, not too confusing.
Antique: 100 years or olderGlad I am not an antique just yet,

Guess its been awhile since any seriuos shopping was done.
Good luck to Samantha. Your added accessories set it off wonderfully!
What is pre-Retro?
Does that mean mullets from the 80s are Retro?
Mullets are just creepy...unless of course, you are MacGyver.
