1950s Halterneck Red Duchess Dress

Our luxurious satin circle dresses have a famously flattering cut based on classic 1950s style gowns, all designed to accentuate your feminine shape. The supportive bodice gently moulds your bust into a perfect pin-up bullet shape, neatly nipping in your waist while the full skirt skims your hips. Perfect for brides, bridesmaids, red carpet, black tie or just that fun party.

Grace Chocolate Lace Bust Chocolate Duchess Dress

This dress has a wrap top which flatters any size bust and a full circle skirt. Show off your curves in this classy dress. And as the skirt is a full circle, you can even wear a Petticoat underneath for a full, frothy effect!
This range of Grace Wrap Circle Dresses we know you're going to love as much as we do and as this a Limited Edition Print make sure you don't miss out!

This heavy and luxurious Duchess Satin fabric is the essential for evening elegance, and has a beautiful shine.

Jezebel Red Leopard Bust Dress

This dress has a wrap top which flatters any size bust and a slinky pencil skirt to put a wiggle in your walk. Vivien has added authentic touches such as the half peplum on the side and the elegant V-shaped back, to give that extra touch of old Hollywood glamour! This range of pencil dresses we know you're going to love as much as we do. 

​This is a limited edition and won't be back so don't hang about!

Gypsy Top Classic Green Lace and Pedal Pushers

We just redesigned our famous Gypsy Tops to make them even better with more generous sizing! Based on an authentic late 1940s, early 1950s design, they have been recut and now fit true to size. Made from cool, crisp cotton in a variety of colours, prints and trims they're easy to wear with everything from swing trousers to skirts. With fitted waist to showcase your curves, and an elasticated neckline and sleeves, wear it high up for a demure look, or off-the-shoulder for maximum va-va-voom. Team with one of our cinch belts for an enviable hourglass look that's sure to bewitch all the boys. All our gypsy tops are made in the UK.

Slightly re-modelled and in authentic fabrics, our Pedal Pushers are back! With our trademark high-waist, a rivet button and side zip, and with a delicate side slit at the ankle, these gorgeous slimline pants are wonderfully flattering- making the most of your curves! They are wonderful teamed with a Halterneck Top or one of our new Blouses, or even with a cashmere sweater for that Jayne Mansfield look.
