Off To The Races

Whether you're in the midst of race season or already planning for ladies day next year, take a little time to soak up these inspiring vintage images.

One of the things we adore about vintage fashion photographs is how complete every outfit was; from the make-up, headpieces, gloves and hat, each was an important element.

Every accessory was coordinated and no detail overlooked. A flawless finish was de rigueur.

Vintage fashion is a fabulous place to start to searching out interesting style ideas that you know are going to be classic, playful and oh so chic!

Probably the most important aspect of any Race Look is the hat. It's the ultimate accessory and so important that sometimes people start with the hat and then match the dress! We have an incredible and extensive collection of vintage hats from the 1930's to 60's in stock. Just take a peak at a few of them further down and some example of how they could be styled with our vintage dresses.

Eerie Vintage Headwear!!!

It's Halloween season! Most of us will get into the spooky spirit of things at some stage. Whether it's going out in full costume for a major party, carving a pumpkin or answering the door to the hoards of candy crazed mini zombies!

Either way it's hard to escape Halloween as it's popularity grows each year.

I came across these unusual and quite freaky vintage images on Pinterest and what better time of the year to show them than the run up to the big Witching Hour itself!

The first few images have definitely been photo-shopped, I'm not sure about the cat one but they're so bizarre I had to share!

The last image is an actual hat from the 1940's.

Vintage Winter Wear

Vintage fashion is perfect for the cold Winter months which is why it's one of our favourite times of the year. Fabrics from the 1950's and 60's were often heavier and of higher quality which means they can keep you warmer. As many of the dresses had sleeves and longer skirt lengths they are perfect for wearing in colder months and they don't look too summery when worn.

And did I mention the accessories? How better to keep warm and toasty than wearing some gorgeous long gloves, a pretty hat, cardi and a stole? Layers are key to staying stylish during freezing temperatures. Don't be afraid of mixing up patterns, colours and textures. If you aren't sure where to start then take a peak at some of the vintage images below and then our own Dirty Fabulous vintage dresses!
