We are pleased to bring you this gorgeous floral in radiant sunset shades. This is truly a joyous print of apricot, peach and lemon combined in stunning, big ruffled dahlia shaped blooms on a black background. 
Dark florals have the ability to carry you throughout the year with appropriate layering. You could pair her just with simple black accessories for easy style, or pick out any of her warm tones for a really happy look. A pop of green in a handbag or hat would be amazing! In autumn you could team this print with brown boots and  a cardigan and I think it would pair well, just to change it up and get the most out of your wardrobe. 
It’s a lovely weight viscose, perfect for dancing! And don’t forget the pockets hidden within the vintage styling. 
Viscose (or Rayon, as the American's call it) is made from wood pulp and is more drapey than cotton and breathes better than polyester. They marketed it as "artificial silk", especially in the war years when supplies of real silk was needed for the manufacturing of parachutes.
It's cut to the same fit as the Mary, so you can be assured you'll fit your regular size. This time it's early to mid 40s with a gorgeous sweet heart neckline, and a front panel ending in a point at the waist. Gathers either side to flatter your curves. 
The skirt is a classic wartime shape with a flat front panel and gathers at the hips. 
  • Shoulder pads for authenticity (easily removed by snipping the stitching if you so desired)  
  • Machine Washable
  • 100% viscose
  • Made in the UK

This delightful print of Dandelion puffs blown by the breeze is a charmer. It does beg to be teamed with something pink - a hat, shoes or flower corsage perhaps? White accessories would look fresh in springtime, while darker grey and black would carry you into winter. 
She’s a hard working print and I can imagine her taking you from work to dancing with a simple change of lippy. A really easy to wear style if you are cool toned. 
The fabric is 100% polyester which we know many of you love for the ease of care and travel. Pop her in your bag for a quick outfit change!
Our Mary vintage style dress recreates the late 30s to early 1940s with its gathered shoulders, puff sleeves and fitted waist. It has a great bust enhancing look, while displaying very little cleavage.

Other features include: 

  • A discrete invisible zip down the centre back - Yes, we know it isn't too vintage that way, but girls were getting stuck after having their hair done when we had only a side zip. 
  • Shoulder pads for authenticity (easily removed by snipping the stitching if you so desired) 
  • A-line skirt to skim the hips and tummy 
  • Machine Washable
  • Very little ironing!
  • 100% Polyester

Sweet blooms of beige, brown and green are sprinkled over ivory in this gorgeous simple print. We aren’t sure a flower like this exists, but it does remind us of small blooms you’d find on unassuming shrubs that dazzle and delight with their beautiful scent. 

This blouse would team so well with our best selling forest green trousers! Add a cute cardy in cooler months or knot it at the waist for springtime. Versatile and flattering. 
Viscose (or Rayon, as the American's call it) is made from wood pulp and is more drapey than cotton and breathes better than polyester. They marketed it as "artificial silk", especially in the war years when supplies of real silk was needed for the manufacturing of parachutes.

 

We've named the Martha blouse after Shona's great grandmother, a real adventurer, who followed her children out to New Zealand after her husband retired. Now that is some trip to make later in life. We think the Martha set is all about adventuring, even if it is a bit more urban than a pilgrimage on a sailing ship 

This style of blouse, with the strong pointed collar and darted shoulders shows up in sewing patterns from 1941 - 1946. The collar itself lived on a little longer, still appearing at the start of the New Look era.
