My Wardrobe...

Ok so some new websites for your avid vintage shoppers.

First up is the wonderful British website 'Big Beautiful Barbara Brown'. I own one of her dresses in fact...its the Niagra Marilyn Monroe style dress. Arrived in two weeks custom sized so I was one VERY happy rabbit. Impressive to say the least. Her Marilyn Monroe inspired dresses can be found here.
I have also noticed she has a maternity 40s style wrap dress for all you expectant vintage mommas...can be found on this page...

Anyway I can recommend this lady. The only thing I wish there was available is fabric swatches online so I have a clearer image of what the overall 'look' will be.

Another site is 'Oh My Honey'. Admittedly I have not ordered anything from this site but lets just say when a certain invoice is paid to me I will be rectifying that. I particularly love her couture dresses modelled beautifully by the burlesque poppet Millie Dollar...I am also in love with the ivory tulle heart dress. I know a lot of people love this lady...I have seen many a burlesque performer advertise her site...

My last offering is '21st Century Foxy'. With the likes of burlesque starlets such as Anna Fur Laxis and Slinky Sparkles it certainly looks wonderful. I love the mix of handmade British designs and the imported Stop Staring brand that is famous amongst pinups both here and abroad. A particular favourite of mine is is the Hawaiian wrap style dress found here. I am tempted to buy as I need some sunshine as this dreadful British summer was so short lived
