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!

Shall we Pencil you in...

...For an appointment with one of our fabulous Halterneck Pencil Dresses? It's even more exciting than Christmas Day here at Vivien of Holloway, because we have just received a shipment of these gorgeous frocks, which have been made up in beautiful cotton sateen. This lovely fabric has a slight sheen to it, making it equally perfect for a party dress as for a day dress, and best of all, it's super easy-care. Don't say we never spoil you!



These pencil dresses feature the same, cleverly boned and very supportive bodice as our incredibly popular circle dress. It gently lifts and shapes busts of all sizes into that perfect 1950s bullet shape... and will also slightly cinch your waist, while the curvy cut of the pencil skirt works wonders on hips both ample and slim to create a beautiful retro hourglass silhouette. There's a pencil dress for every occasion, be it a wedding, fancy soiree, trip to the seaside or day in the office - it all depends on how you dress it up... or down!


Make sure you add a little bolero and belt to complete your look. We love to match, but a contrasting colour can often create an entirely new look!



So hurry on over to the shop, because these beauties are sure to get snapped up quickly!

New 1950s polka dot dresses in!!

Here comes summer!! The skies are looking promising and the scarf's are being put away! At Vivien of Holloway we have lovely new colours in our favourite collections to get in the mood for the upcoming season. So get your sunglasses on and head to the park because frankly you'd be silly not to!

In our popular 1950's style Polka dot swing dress collection we now have a turquoise cotton Sateen fabric which has a delightful sheen to give you that bit of vintage glamour even in daytime. In the same style as our other famous circle dresses it has the full skirt and ever flattering boned halter top which squeezes and pleases so you get an immaculate nipped in hourglass shape.

Ideal to show off at summer festivals such as the Rockabilly Rave or Goodwood.

You can team it with one of our 50's style Bolero's to stop that sunburn in either matching polka dot, turquoise or contrasting white. The ideal outfit for a summer day out!

Brand New Items

We have some fantastic new editions to our store; first is our brand new 1940s red satin Jezebel blouse.

The elegant fabric means that it can be worn in the daytime to spice up any outfit, or in the evening for some vintage hollywood glamour. They go perfectly with our sexy pencil skirts or for an authentic 1940s outfit, you can wear them with our chic 40s trousers.

It has slightly puffed sleeves which adds structure to the shoulders, a contrasting piping which runs across the yoke, pocket and cuffs. It also has 6 darts across the front to give a more tailored fit to your gorgeous body!

There are three beautiful colours to choose from: crimson red, burgundy and black.



Secondly, we have some wonderful new additions to our line of boleros. Each bolero has a matching dress so you can complete your look head-to-toe. They finish just above the waist to accentuate those bombshell curves! We have added some fun patterns and also more luxurious satin fabrics.
