The It Girl Dress by Mode Merr

Posted on | Leave a comment

Itgirl

While many of our favourite retro reproduction brands on RTG concentrate on a largely 50s look, there are often many sixties-look gems among the rockabilly faves. This It Girl dress by Mode Merr is one such dress, firing on all cylinders for an irresistible sixties style.

Th simplicity of the dress compliments the figure hugging cut well, providing that sophistication that always goes hand in hand with retro sex appeal. A high collar is given some spice with a notch, while short sleeves give some youth to the conservative pencil skirt style.

Ethereal nude shades and girly design features are everywhere you turn in mainstream fashion at the moment, often providing plenty of fodder for a variety of vintage inspired aesthetics. This Hilda Bag from Missguided takes some of that style and toughens it up to create a great 80s accessory.

The clutch's design has a real feminine edge thanks to sweeping lines and a corsage detailing, capturing the eighties' love of earlier vintage inspiration. It's toughened up a typically spunky style of the era with zip detailing throughout, creating that line between pretty and punky that has become almost timeless.

Reversible Petticoat from American Apparel

Petticoat

With many pre-1960s retro looks, the style is never complete without the right undergarments to compliment it. Creating an ideal silhouette to layer your well chosen threads upon is a must, making pieces like underskirts worthy of investment.

This Reversible Petticoat from American Apparel provides all the volume you need for a fifties evening look thanks to multiple layers and ruffling details. For less ramped up looks, though, the reversible skirt can be worn inside out to minimise the ruffles and create a more demure skirt shape.

Available in black or white, it costs £52 from American Apparel.
