Among the many sharp, mod inspired sixties pieces available at the moment, there is still plenty of room for a more dreamy and ethereal silhouette in a vintage look wardrobe. Still clearly retaining that sixties influence, this Embellished Collar Dress from Miss Selfridge offers a more girly retro aesthetic.

The chiffon fabric creates a great bell sleeve look, enhanced by the accented cuffs to match the collar. The neckline and peephole detailing at the collar are the key to the dress's retro appeal, however, adding some subtle impact to a dress that's feminine without being over the top.

It's available now from Miss Selfridge for £50.
