Peggy dress from Michelle Tan on Etsy

Posted on | Leave a comment

Peggy

Many retro-styled dresses out there a perfect for parties & summer picnics but vintage chic suitable for the office is an area that's often overlooked.

Designer Michelle Tan creates vintage inspired frocks that look as if they were plucked straight from the Mad Men costume department. The Peggy dress in particular would look picture perfect wandering the corridors of Sterling Cooper. The oversized collar & faux pockets with red stripe accents give the plain navy an understated flair. An ideal way to bring a slice of retro refinement to the office, no matter how far your place of work may from 60s Madison Avenue.

The Peggy dress is made to order to your measurements and is available with short or ¾ length sleeves. $120 from Michelle Tan's Etsy store.

Coffee Time print by Laura Amiss

Dandelion clocks print

We've shown you prints that are inspired by some great retro designs before. This Coffee Time print by Laura Amiss features one of our favourite – and one of the most popular – designs of recent time: Dandelion Clocks by Sanderson.

Laura is based in Amsterdam and has produced a simple A4-sized print that plays up the fifties looks of the design: if you can't quite afford the wallpaper, this is surely a nice compromise. 

It's certainly a lot cheaper as the print costs just 12 euros.

A lovely piece of design that apes a vintage TV, it has been made to custom fit an iPad or iPad 2 and should look just the part if you happen to be watching iPlayer or 4OD on your tablet.Not sure how practical it would be for more general use, but who cares…its looks great. That's the main point.

Available on Etsy, $60 or £37.99 is the price.

This set sail playsuit is the ultimate swim suit for those wanting to embrace the fashion from days gone by.

The lovely velvety material is slightly different to your normal lycra swimming gear, but stick with it and you'll have a uniquely beautiful outfit to wear on the beach. It's ideal for lounging around in and if you're feeling brave you could always don this outfit on a night out matched with high waisted shorts. It features navy blue velvet with a bright red anchor stitched onto the chest and white rope lining along the neckline and straps.

Because of the material this swimsuit is best reserved for outside of the pool. It costs $60 (£38) and you can buy yours online from Etsy.
