1920′s – 1940′s clothing now in store

We’ve had a few items of very nice 1920′s – 1940′s clothing come in to the shop via the Trade-In. Including a couple of super 1940′s dresses, one 40′s blouse and one jumper. They’s be perfect for this years Goodwood Revival but we don’t expect them to be with us for long so do pop in if you are interested.
Pictured below a stunning 1920′s silk dress. Amazing quality and the most beautiful print. It has very sweet cuffs, lovely neckline and is cut on the bias so it hugs the hips and then flows out at the bottom. I’ve tried to show the panelling detail in the pic as it is spot-on!

Check out our 1950′s Scots bandsman uniform

This is our gorgeous new shop display, it’s a 1950′s Scots bandsman uniform and the detail on it is just incredible. If I can ever find the appropriate occasion I might just have to wear it!
We also found some old footage of Mick Jagger singing Paint It Black wearing something VERY similar :-)
