Tobacco Shift Dress from Miss Selfridge Petites

Posted on | 1 Comment

Tobaccodress

This Autumn/Winter season's mainstream fashion seems to have taken influence from a wide variety of retro looks, some designers with more success than others. Miss Selfridge seem to be on a winning streak, especially when it comes to sixties dress design.

This Tobacco Shift Dress from their Petites range has unmistakeable sixties inspiration, providing a perfect minidress for the colder months. The sleeveless a-line shape, peter pan collar and tuxedo detailing are all pitch perfect for the decade. It's the unusual tobacco shade, however, that's won us over, providing a less seen vintage shade that's irresistible.

Get it now from Miss Selfridge for £40.

Much of the style of modern pin-up reinvention is unflinchingly daring, with bright colours, bold prints and luxurious textures collding to create a vampy and kitsch look. If you love the style but aren’t quite brave enough to go whole hog yet, well chosen accessories are an ideal in-road.

These Baby Betty Pin-Up Purses by Miss Bud have all the kitsch appeal of a pin-up inspired rockabilly look in one piece. A satin-look fabric provides the luxurious edge to a classic, tattoo style pin-up and card game print – a look now synonymous with 50s rockabilly fashion. Finished with a kiss-lock clasp and vintage style frame it’s the perfect way to get some retro in your every day wardrobe.

Chelseaheart
River Island is a high street brand that's always been decidedly modern, but with their new Chelsea Girl line they're going back to their roots to bring some great retro fare. Taking their original name, the line features 60s, 70s and 80s looks inspired by the brand's own original designs.

This Heart Print Dress is one of the best sixties looks, providing a very British style from the time. The a-line skirt combined with bell sleeves and a peep hole neck provide the ideal silhouette for a quirky print. In shades of mustard yellow and navy, the palette is spot on too.

Get it online or in selected shops now for £40.

Thankfully we now have modern retro choices like this Ginger Slinky Cape Dress from Topshop Maternity to keep you looking chic at all times.

The cape style dress has the draped glamour of a seventies frock with the practicality of late maternity clothing built right in.
