I was recently asked by the press department at
Vivien of Holloway if I wanted to collaborate and feature six 1940's style Tea dress on my blog to take photos of and review! Of course I said yes!
I was able to keep one, and to send all the other dresses back to
Vivien of Holloway.
I found it very hard to choose only one, I also purchase another one from
Vivien of Holloway!
The first 1940's style Tea dress is the
stamp caramel. I love the novelty stamp print, the colours and the white buttons down the front. As well as the buttons down the front, there is also a little eye and hook clip inside in all six dresses to assist with keeping the buttons in place and for added support.
All dresses have shoulder pads and pockets.
Note: I've wore my own retro style belts to nip in the waist and give more shape and structure to all these gorgeous dresses.
Accessories Include:
Shoes from
Bait Footwear
Red wicker bag from
Pinup Girl Clothing
Hair-flower from
Daisy Jean Floral
Bangle is thrifted
The second 1940's Tea dress is called
Pocket Watch (I decided to keep this one) the novelty print of pocket watches is so unique and I love the simplicity of the blue and white together.
It also has white vintage style buttons down the front. All dresses have an A-line skirt that is 31 inches in length.
Accessories Include:
White Sandals from
Bait Footwear
Hair-flower from
Daisy Jean Floral
Earrings from
Blue Belle Pinup Store
All six dresses are currently available to purchase for £79/$127 (Aus) and comes in sizes small to extra large. Just follow the size guide on
Vivien of Holloway's website to get the right size for you. I ordered size Large for each dress and they all fit perfectly.
The third 1940's style Tea Dress is called
Floral Green. I adore the pretty floral print on the green background. Once again this dress came with white buttons and also there is white detailing on the pockets, sleeves and on each side near up near the shoulders.
All six dresses are made from 100% cotton, so are quite cool to wear in the hotter summer months.
Accessories Include:
Seafoam Robbie heels from
Bait Footwear
Bangles are thrifted
Pink purse is from
Lola Von Rose
Hair-flower by
Georgie Girl by Sandra
Earrings from
Reverefolie
All these photos were taken by my good friend Michelle aka
Vera Vamp. The first dress was photograph at an heritage listed post office in
Maryborough, Queensland. The second and third dress were photographed at
Hervey Bay, Queensland at a open-air museum called
Hervey Bay Historical Museum
The museum has many exhibits including an old style grocery store, an early settler cottage, an early 19th century home, train station, an old school, church and many more.
Next week I'll post
Part Two up on my blog with the final three 1940's style Tea dresses to share with you all!
Until next time!
