Both were 70s creations that looked back on the 50s, so now they'd be vintage retro.<br />Or, in the 80s, there was a brief craze for dresses that were retro 50s. So, if someone sold one of those 80s retro-50s dresses on e-Bay now, it truly would be vintage retro.<br />But I'm not sure what "retro-vintage" would be.
