Top 5 Clothing items for Rockabilly/Pinup/Vintage ladies!

This blog post is the top 5 clothing items I personally think every rockabilly/pinup/vintage lady should own in their wardrobes!

Starting off with
No.  1   Swing/circle dress

Swing/circle dresses is an essential for any vintage inspired wardrobe, whether it's a reproduction or a true vintage dress. Owing one or more of these beautiful dresses, gives you a true feeling your wearing a piece from the 1950's.
You can find these style of dresses from ebay, etsy, or any rockabilly/pinup/vintage type clothing stores.

They range from $30 upwards, depending on the reproduction brand or if the dress is a true vintage piece.

This is one of my swing dresses I own, it's from the brand Vivien of Holloway.

 

 No.  2  Wiggle/pencil dress

Wiggle/pencil style dresses is another must for a vintage inspired wardrobe and also for ladies who love to show off they're womanly curves! These type of dresses though are not for everyone, as they do show of your body shape more so then swing dresses do.

You can buy these type of dresses from ebay, etsy, or any store that sells vintage/rockabilly/pinup clothing.
Once again it depends on the brand, or it's a true vintage dress how much you will end up spending.

Here is myself wearing one of my wiggle dresses, it's Tiki inspired from the brand MissFortune.

 

No.  3  Pinup/Vintage Tops and Blouses

Owing a pinup/vintage top or blouse is another essential for a vintage inspired outfit. These type of tops/blouses can pair up with wiggle skirts, swing skirts, vintage jeans, trousers and shorts. They come in different colors, styles, patterns and prints etc.
Again you can purchase a blouse/top from ebay, etsy any vintage/pinup/rockabilly clothing stores.

Ranging from prices $20 upwards, depending on your budget and brand!

This cherry print blouse I'm wearing, I actually bought from Kmart.

No.  4  Swing/circle skirt

Owing a swing/circle skirt is another must for a vintage inspired outfit, either a true vintage skirt or a reproduction skirt.
Depending on the color, print or style you can pair these style of skirts up with a similar blouse or top.

Again you can buy these style skirts from ebay, etsy, or any other pinup/rockabilly/vintage clothing stores.
These type of skirts range from $30 upwards, depending on the reproduction brand or if it's a true vintage piece.

This gorgeous swing skirt I own is from the brand Pinup Girl clothing.

No.  5  1950s Petticoat/Crinoline

Owing a petticoat/crinoline is a must for a vintage inspired wardrobe. They really go great under a swing/circle dress or a skirt, they make it really feel like your wearing a true 1940s/50s clothing piece.

Once again depending on if it's a reproduction brand or if it's true vintage, how much a petticoat/crinoline will cost.

You can purchase a petticoat from ebay, etsy, or any vintage/pinup/rockabilly store that sells petticoats or crinolines.

Here I am wearing a petticoat I bought from ebay, under one of my swing dresses.

 Are there any other clothing items that is a must for a rockabilly/pinup/vintage inspired wardrobe?

Until next time!

Hell Bunny Part 2

This blog post is my next Hell Bunny review on a couple of my other dresses I own from this popular reproduction vintage brand.

If you look up my blog archives you'll be able to find Hell Bunny Part 1! Please feel free to read this.

The next dress I bought for myself is from my favorite local rockabilly boutique Cherry Tree Lane fashion, which you can find their page on facebook. I had this dress on lay-by for a couple of months, before taking it home!

Francine Dress.

This dress is called Green Francine apple print dress. I really love the apple print, the colors and the lace neckline of this dress. This dress fits me quite well. The fabric feels light, and I like the length as well.  It's a lovely dress to wear spring/summer months.

Even though I like the pretty neckline of this dress. It is a highish-neckline, so at times the neckline moves up high onto my neck, which i can find annoying. Only thing I can do is just pull the neckline down again.

Here is myself wearing this lovely dress.

The next dress I bought for myself, I won on a facebook rockabilly/pinup clothing auction, so I purchased it for a very reasonable price.

This dress by Hell Bunny is called the Souvenir 50's dress.
Once again I love the print, color and the design of this dress, plus it came with it's own belt. This dress is great to wear in summer!

Even though I love the print, I wish it had other island names on it as well, not just Fiji. So the dress actually feels like you're wearing a "souvenir dress".

Here is me styling this gorgeous Hell Bunny dress.

I also own a pair of shorts and a petticoat from the brand Hell Bunny.

Personally I think Hell Bunny is a great reproduction vintage/alternative brand. I would recommend this brand to any stylish lady that loves to dress in vintage inspired clothing. As for the price, their clothing is designed and very well made.

Do you like the brand Hell Bunny?

Until next time!
