Our Mary grew up! Or rather...down?
It’s the same Mary, just floor length, for your elegant soirées and glamorous events that require something a bit more.

The colour is that purple that used to be reserved for royals. The Cadbury chocolate purple! It’s a shade that flatters all skin tones as it has both red and blue bases in it. (If you're a redhead, you will Queen in this colour).

The fabric is a new one for us. It looks just like a vintage crepe, with plenty of viscose in it. Some poly adds ease of care and strength of wear, and a touch of stretch for your happiest of dancing evenings.

Once you've placed your order we'll ask our UK manufacturers to finish it for you. It could take up to a week. (We'll keep you informed regarding the delivery date)

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 - 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!

Fresh forest green trousers with off white pearly buttons.
This is such a lovely rich forest green, that co-ordinates in a great way with so many colours, especially florals - after all, Mother Nature puts everything with green, who's going to argue with that?

The Fabric is our lovely lightweight Garberdine, which is a polyester viscose mix. The polyester means it is easily washable and requires little or no ironing, and the viscose keeps its cool and helps it swing.

The leg length in all our trousers is 31.5".

Ladies Swing Trousers - Black with stretch

£80.00 (£66.67 ex VAT)

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Our favourite ladies trousers now in curve friendly comfy fabric. It's still a lovely draped classy fabric, but this time it has just a smidge of stretch. Ladies with dangerous curves (and maybe some bumps) will find these easy to wear. We've made them with matching buttons to be work and wardrobe friendly. We want you to really be able to wear them everywhere; Office, shopping, dinner, dancing, picnics, events, playdates, windy days and high days. The fabric looks like a typical old fashioned garberdine, and is soft to touch and drapes beautifully.

Smart, savvy, classic black trousers with black buttons.

The inside leg length is 31.5" and there is another 1" remaining under the turn up. Some ladies have been surprised to learn that they don't need as long a leg as they think. We think this is because people are used to their jeans length, or that of a narrower leg trouser. Because these are wide and less likely to catch on the thigh, they hang better than narrower leg trousers, and so your length may be different.

Twizzle Dress - Black

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Our lovely Twizzle dress will easily please our comfy dress fans. We did this range of Twizzles for those of you needing to travel with your clothes, and a plain black can be a good extra just in case. Simple, elegant. Whether you are a Marilyn or a Audrey it will help you out.

Black with a sparkle is awesome, but try a black with any polka dot for something cheery and delightful.

Based on a CC41 dress from Shona’s own collection. The CC41 label is a significant one for 1940s re-enactors as it signifies the garment was made to the regulations set down at the time to ensure quality clothing was available to war-time rationed Britain.

The gentle wide A-line is very flattering and doesn’t need a petticoat. We have left it at a vintage mid-calf length, but agree that it would also be gorgeous at a shorter length if you chose to have it altered.

Easy care, cool machine wash, no ironing
Stretch fabric that looks vintage and flys on the dance floor!
Travels well, creases drop out with wear
Content: 95% polyester 5% spandex jersey

£70.00 (£58.33 ex VAT)

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Our duo striped pair of white and red are slightly unexpected. We’ve done these before (a surprise bolt found at one of our wholesalers) and they did sell out fast.

While still smart and classy, these just have a little more punch with the red stripe. These I do think are best with a hit of some other red, whether it a vintage jumper, heels or a red lip. Remember you don’t want too many pops of your contrast colour - three is about right, and your lips count as one! Truly lovely popping out under a red coat.

This fabric is ex designer stock (being off cuts from a larger manufacturer) and is 100% polyester. The polyester means it is easily washable and requires little or no ironing. It drapes beautifully and has a touch of stretch. It’s a medium weight so not too hot.

Our twin stripe navy features two fine off white stripes. A bit traditional, a bit different!

The navy likes mixing with other blues better than the black based stripes we have. It equally likes red, pink and yellow. If you feel like playing with it, try mixing in a navy and white polka dot, or even a neon to bring it bang into this year.

A spot of traditional conventional tailoring can really change things up in your wardrobe. Our black with off-white stripe will pair with everything, and bring a smart sexy edge to your ensemble. It wears well with a vintage knit or a smart blouse and sleeveless pullover.

But you don’t have to keep it straight and narrow (even though the stripes are!)How about giving it a twist by pairing with a bright floral or other stripes, or with velvet or sequins.

We’ve taken our most tried and tested Mary and added even more elegance with a floor sweeping drape and full length sleeves that suit its late 30s origin. As in the original pattern, tiny darts at the elbow allow movement. She's a beauty.

We've used our modern comfort crepe fabric with viscose for drape, a crepe texture that is the most vintage look we've ever found, a touch of stretch and ease, and some poly for simple care. Yes you can machine wash her!

She’s full of love and ready for your most stylish moment.

Paulette Dress - Jungle jam

£115.00 (£95.83 ex VAT)

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Oh she’s a love, our Paulette dress! She came to us first as an original vintage dress just begging to be spread like love into the world! She has all the credentials of a war era dress, but we think she could lend herself very well to late 30s in style too.

We took Paulette and introduced her to Mary, so the fit is just like our bestseller Mary dress.

Paulette has the most awesome ruffle details that drift from the outside of one shoulder, across to the neck, all the way around and out the other side – quite enchanting! She offers that “big shoulder” look of war time but with a much softened flirtatious mood.

The fabric is a floaty viscose with lush fronds, flowers, buds and leaves. The colours are apricot, tan, rust, and lemon on a black background. There are outlines of off-white around the foliage. Team her with black or tan accessories heels for an easy classic solution, or give her a spring in her step with off white or lemon. A quirky creative look might include snakeskin or leopard print accessories. And green…always green!

Now for the best bit, we’ve updated her with pockets slipped in with the vintage styling of the skirt. Ohh we need more pockets in our lives.

When washing viscose, the number one rule is STAY COOL. Wash at 30 degrees, and NEVER EVER use the dryer. Viscose shrinks up a little with washing but will iron out so long as the water was cool and you line dry. Dryers reach temperatures of up to 180 degrees and your viscose will not rebound with any amount of pressing! Mind your iron too and use a medium temperature to avoid shiny patches.

You could get a belt made using your tie belt as it should give you enough fabric once unpicked. Check out www.harlequin-uk.com. We recommend playing around with a belt of your own to know what suits you but bear in mind that narrow belts tended to rule this era (we prefer a 2cm width). You could even send them a vintage buckle to use!

We have a 5 year old Mademoiselle in the studio in charge of naming our dresses now. (Watch out for what is coming next)

Lemon or apricot, off white, and any shade of brown - from beige to chocolate would be an ideal base too.

Mary Dress - Lovely black dress

£90.00 (£75.00 ex VAT)

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Sometimes, oftentimes, one’s wardrobe can benefit from some restrained elegance and items that provide building blocks. That’s why the Little black dress has become a staple. Ours is a Lovely black dress, as 40s style is more covered than the standard LBD and more reliable.

A LBD will take you from work to family dinners to a fancy BBQ to an evening burning up the dance floor. Wear with more black for sleek style…A bright cardigan and a creative brooch for everyday smart. Make it modern with huge bright earrings. Use pearls for subtle elegance when you need to be reserved (Queen Victoria established pearls as mourning jewellery, while Aubrey Hepburn wore them in a louder fashion for legendary class)

How about a black and white theme or a touch of animal print

Josephine dress - Sunset Blooms

£120.00 (£100.00 ex VAT)

Shipping calculated at checkout.

We keep low stock levels on site so sometimes our manufacturer will complete your garment only once you order, and that can take a week or so. If you are in a rush, please order and let us know when you need it. We’ll do our best.

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)
