This 1980s black vintage dress is looking for a confident owner!

Sassy and stylish, it also has an asymmetrical touch. The right side boasts colourful embroidered swirls, while the left has drapes falling nicely from the waist down. It’s the sort of dress you can take to work and then after-work drinks!

There is no material label attached, but we suspect it’s silk, as it feels very soft and natural to the touch.(Size: M)We pair it with 1960s gold-plated drop earrings that arrived on our shores all the way from Austria!

For the bride-to-be, this Gunne Sax dress is a prettie hippie possibility!

Constructed with cheesecloth and beautiful lace, this maxi is a stunner and a lovely addition to anyone’s wardrobe, even if you’re not getting married!

We pair it with a very elegant pair of drop pearl earrings that are simple yet striking in its simplicity, thanks to its teardrop fitting and fine chain.

The perfect purse with it? A 1960s clutch bag with mini flowers and rhinestones dotting the top. It has a lovely bow clasp at the top, and the body is made with lace that looks like a beehive. It’s so pretty, the photo does it no justice!

Hello, Monday!

Today, we present to you a long black dress (Size: M/L) that’s a little more subdued than our usual.

It’s from the 1970s, and has got a lace flap that flops over the front and back of the torso. It’s pretty, but also more sombre and restrained.

It’s for those days when you don’t really feel like wearing colour at all, but still want a touch of vintage!

We pair it here with a black 1940s fabric bag with a pearlescent accent, as well as a pair of very pretty 1960s Austrian enamel floral earrings.
