This lovely early 60s inspired cocktail dress in kingfisher blue silk taffeta has the typical pleated ‘puffed’ skirt of the era, a slashed neckline, with a deeper one at the back. The original 50s plastic buckle has a mother of pearl feel to it.
This lovely mid-1930s inspired beauty in chocolate brown silk/wool crepe blend with raglan balloon sleeves and slashed neckline include a silk rust orange cravat type detail very typical of the era, with bakelite button side fastening and also a beautiful deco belt buckle.

I proudly present my new early 1930s inspired bow dress collection.
