Sumptuous Satins

Ava Gardner
Evoking golden era glamour of Hollywood in the 1940's, Vivien of Holloway's Satin Sarongs are the perfect way to get you in the mood for the imminent party season.

You'll be spoiled for choice when choosing your perfect elegant evening frock- and we know how hard it is to choose just one! 

Red Satin Sarong
In ten rich, shimmering, jewel-like colours, and with a seductive waterfall drape from the hip, revealing as much -or as little- as you dare courtesy of a wrap-around skirt; the Sarong dress is a firm favourite with the most glamorous gals around.

They're also sold with a matching bolero- ideal for keeping that winter chill off your shoulders.

Be a siren in our Sarongs

Now the clocks have gone back and the nights are longer, you have the ideal excuse to get a seriously glamorous new dress to celebrate the extra partying time! Christmas brings so many fabulous soirees, and the perfect, slinky little number that will cause a stir, comes in the form of our 1940s Satin Sarong.

We have just produced this best-seller in some brand-new satin shades. We think they're utterly gorgeous, and we hope you'll agree!
Our favourite might possibly be the Aubergine - a glorious shade of royal purple that would look amazing with contrasting accessories.
It comes with a matching bolero included in the price - as do all these new shades, whether shown in the picture or not...
The midnight navy blue is a close contender, though - imagine it with red and white accessories - a fabulously patriotic look! Or, go for a deep shade of persimmon orange for an authentically 1940s colour combination.


With new stocks of classic black and red as well, it's impossible to go wrong - all eyes will be firmly on you as you sweep onto the dancefloor... whether you're wowing at the office party, or jiving the night away.

Your perfect colours - part 1

We love to help our customers look their absolute best, and one way to do this, is to assess their natural colouring to discover what fabric shades will suit them the most. So let's start with the basics and assess your 'type', which is given a season.

Dark haired, pale skinned lovelies are 'winters' and look simply marvellous in bright jewel tones, so choose one of our polkadot halterneck circle dresses or a vivid satin version. If you're a blonde, with a pale complexion, you're likely to be a 'summer, and a pastel toned dress or a sweet gingham is the best choice. 'Autumns' are usually fiery redheads or olive-skinned brunettes, and look fabulous in gold and emerald green numbers. Finally, typical English Roses with creamy, rosy skin and light hair are classed as 'spring', and should stick to pale yellow, ivory and white prints, and brighter orange-reds and royal blue.



Now we've got this far, the next thing to discover is your ideal red lipstick! You'll be glad to hear that finding the perfect lipstick colour is easy as pie. Stay tuned for our handy guide, which will be coming very soon!
