Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

[Heather]

I'm curious about sourpuss clothing and their site in general.. I know aubrey london on YT did a few positive reviews of their accessories. I'm in need of some vintage inspired tops for work (I'm a stylist) but can't afford to spend a ton at the moment.

The gothy/punk line Hell Bunny has some cute dresses. I have these two below.

Mine is fuchsia though.

Mine doesn't have the pink that this one does.

Been eying these:

LOVE this one!

My crinoline is from Hell Bunny, but I don't have any of their dresses. They are very reasonably priced though!

Puzzicato, I've been contemplating getting a crinoline, but hadn't started looking yet - now I know where to go!

I can't say enough good things about Heartbreaker Fashion...I ordered the Vogue pencil skirt in red and liked it so much I got a second one in olive. Good quality material and sturdy construction, plus an accurate sizing chart.

I agree about Heartbreaker!!

 

[Black Dahlia]

I agree about Heartbreaker!!

Me three, though I only have one dress by them.

Puzzicato, definitely a reasonably priced line! And cute to boot.

AmateisGal, I know sooo cute. Luckily the Hell Bunny line is available online, as I've only seen it in stores in the UK.

I'm sure this line has been mentioned in the lounge, does anyone know what the quality is like?

Revamp Vintage/1950s

Gorgeous things!

Also, does anyone have any Bernie Dexter dresses? I've been wondering about the fit and quality of them also.

No, I was planning to buy the Kitty Von Purr dress, but sadly they don't go up to my size.

I agree about Heartbreaker!!

Me four - I have the diner dress in olive and wear it constantly! x

Black Dahlia, I have the sailor pullover top by Bernie Dexter and a sarong dress. I love them both. The quality is great and they can be hand washed instead of always having to be dry cleaned.

So cute Puzzicato! I've been eying the leopard print swing dress and the b&w 'Frenchie' dress. I've heard the line runs a bit big, but I'm not sure!

Thank you Scarlett, and gorgeous avatar!

FYI, Lena Hoschek just launched her online store! A bit too pricey for me, but the glasses are adorable!

I would quite happily wear all of the dresses on her site, they were really lovely, but yes a bit pricey for me too.

Actually i went shopping the other day and noticed alot of the shops had cat's eye sunglasses and various vintage style sunnies, i found some cute ones in Topshop which i snaffled for everyday.

Hi Zombi! I've bought two dresses from Tara Starlet- the homefront dancing dress and the Saddle Stitch dress (which i don't think they still offer)- in recent years and i definitely feel like they're over priced for what you get. The saddle stitch dress looked ok on, but had this zipper in it that literally scraped my skin. I wore it maybe twice before i decided to sell it on Ebay. The homefront dancing dress is all right, but mine fits a little strange-- one side of the waist is fitted, and the other isn't. Usually I carry my purse on the side that isn't fitted, and no one can tell my dress has a split personality!

I had purchased both of these items about 2 years ago, so there is a chance that their quality has improved since then.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I've been seriously perving on the clothing at http://puttin-on-the-ritz.net/ because it looks like real clothes, the models don't look like they're wearing costumes as a lot of repro stuff tends to these days. I've been put off by rockabilly vintage inspired stuff just because it's too short, too tight, too bright and generally looks a bit camp for a real vintage-y look. It looks sooo good on other people, but I put it on and I look like Miss Yvonne from Peewee's Playhouse! lol

I ordered a couple of dresses from Shabby Apple on the weekend - this one and this one. I will let you know how I get on!

I just received two skirts from Shabby Apple (which I purchased on sale thanks to "What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear?"). One is a summery dream of a pencil skirt, and the other is The Perfect Pencil Skirt: it's made of thick, structured cloth that has a late 50s/early 60s feel to it, it has a flattering fit, and last but not least, it has a giant bow in the front! Mine is black, but they come in other colors as well.

Very pretty! I am still waiting on my dresses.

Mae Croft I have been drooling over them too! I'm seriusly contemplating a coat from them.

I have just bought this 40's reproduction sweater from Rocket Originals.

I'm very pleased with it, depsite that it is a wool/acrylic blend- I just hope it will age with grace. I also bought this bag to go with it:

Just poked my head in to see what this was all about - clearly not for me, but is there a requirement that to post in this thread you be heart stoppingly gorgeous? Cause judging by avatars and pics, you girls have it covered!
