Snug Seperates

Autumn is my favourite time of year for dressing up and stepping out. The air smells fresh, the best parties are happening and it's a perfect excuse for a wardrobe overhaul!
Vivien of Holloway retro separates are a wonderful way to stay snug and stylish in the colder months. Our Pencil Skirts are ideal for the everyday femme fatale - cut to gently cinch your waist and tightly skim your hips for an hourglass silhouette any 1950s starlet would envy! I particularly love the Navy Plaid Pencil Skirt paired with its matching Swagger Jacket.

Sweet Swagger!

Wiggle Ready!

We're really excited to be expanding and restocking our selection of 1940s Swing Trousers. Can't wait? There are still sizes left in the thicker materials which are perfect for the crisp weather. There is no better way to wear our Trousers than with a sharp, smart Raglan Blouse. There are so many colours and patterns to choose from, I'm always spoiled for choice!
Another gorgeous way to layer up your ravishing retro garments is with a Bolero. In a variety of prints designed to match our Halterneck Circle Dresses and Halterneck Pencil Dresses, throw one of these beautifully cut boleros on and stay smoking hot at cool events.

It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that Swing!

That's a Wrap!

We've been absolutely dying to show you our very latest design, which we are sure will become a firm favourite with all our customers! Presenting... the gorgeous Anna Fur Laxis in our ravishing new Wrap Top!

 

These versatile little numbers feature a fitted midriff with an invisible zip for an ultra smooth look, and they have a flattering, wrap-over design with elegant dolman sleeves. The cut is perfect for ladies of all sizes, as the pleating hides fullness that will accommodate larger busts, whilst accentuating smaller ones. Just like all our designs, we've paid special attention to authenticity. You can find original pieces from the mid-1940s, all the way to the late 1950s that sport a similar cut, so you can wear them with all of our skirts and trousers with confidence.

Why not pair a cheeky polka dot version with our fabulous new A-Line skirts for a couture 1950s look?

 

Bring out your nautical style by matching a plain shade with our 1940s trousers, for a real WWII sweetheart look.

 

You can even come over all 1950s sex kitten by teaming your wrap top with our capris! As you can see, they look just as sensational when worn tucked in or out, with or without a belt.

We've both plain colours and prints in stock now, but they are selling so fast. Pop along to the shop to browse, and you'll have a super stylish autumn with Vivien of Holloway.

40s Trouser Restock

Hello Ladies.

Happy November!

Just wanted to alert you to the fact that we've just had a big restock of our Fabulous 40s style trousers.

Wide legged and high waisted they're an extremely flattering cut and come in a variety of colours and styles.

Pictured opposite is the lovely Anna Fur Laxis in the denim style. As you can see they're super versatile and work as well with halter tops as with blouses.

These are the button design, we also have new stock of the anchor design for a more nautical flavour.

Brand New Stock Added

We have just put some brand new 1940s Swing Trousers into the store. They have a high waist and are wide legged, and they are made from a wonderful heavyweight fabric, which allows them to hang beautifully. They also have pleats in the front, cuffed hem and a pocket in the side, so they are smart for the office or cool for a night out. There are some gorgeous fabrics to chose from: black and white dogtooth, navy, red, black, burgundy, dark green and grey.
As you can see from the photographs, they look simply darling with our sweet peasant tops, but they also look fantastic when they are teamed with our new 1940s Jezebel Satin Blouse.

Gorgeous New Strap Skirts And Trousers

We have got some new super sexy strap skirts and trousers in stock for you, with tons of colours and patterns to choose from. The glamorous 1950s strap pencil skirts are high waisted and falls below the knee, which creates a gorgeous womanly silhouette. You can get them in some very cute tartans and dogtooth patterns, plus a variety of eye-catching colours.

The chic 1940s strap trousers are also high waisted, they have a front crease and a small turn-up for maximum style. My favourite is the navy pair, I just love those contrasting white buttons!
