I love Twitter. A few weeks back, I received an email advising me that 'Freudian Slips Vintage' was following me in Tweet-land. What with such an interesting sounding name, I wasted no time in visiting their website to see what they were all about. Moments later, I was all wide-eyed with vintage wardrobe wonder…
Take a look at these beauties, that I would happily slip in to myself at any time…
Left: Vintage 1950's Novelty "Little Black Sambo" Print Dress & Hat, £300
Middle: Vintage 1960's pink & white Moygashel Linen Shift Dress, £75
Right: Vintage 1960's Apricot Satin Bow Detail Shift Dress, £75
Lovely aren't they? How chic and timelessly elegant is that Little Black Sambo dress? And the Apricot Satin Bow dress would look wowza with some 40 deniers and heels!
Freudian Slips Vintage offer a boutique styled vintage shopping experience via their website, selling fashions from the 1930's through to the 1980's and allowing you the opportunity to shop for the best vintage clothing and accessories 24 hours a day. They stock all the elements to create your perfect vintage wardrobe, from a quirky day dress to couture gowns, to vintage lingerie, vintage shoes and hats, and
exceptional vintage bags and purses.
"We aim to take the legwork out of finding the perfect Vintage dress and
bring you a handpicked selection of instantly wearable (or
collectable!) garments and accessories – that will work with
contemporary Fashion whilst giving you a totally unique wardrobe".
And if having browsed through their pages full of vintage loveliness, you don't see the specific vintage piece that you are looking for, you can simply drop the Company an email, and they will try to source the item for you.
Bravo!
Many delectable dresses grace the pages of the Freudian Slips Vintage website, but so do other items of apparel and accessories, like these…
Left: Vintage 1970's Huge Brimmed Straw Sun Hat, £55
Middle: Vintage 1940's Rose Marie Reid Floal Swimsuit, £175
Right: Vintage 1950's Famous Barr Daisy Straw Hat, £75
AND….they sell vintage wedding gowns too! Look at this delightful dress (sadly sold to some lucky vintage lover already, but a fine example of the type of fabulous frock that the Freudian Slips Vintage team are sourcing and lovingly restoring)…
Left, Middle & Right: Vintage 1930's Cream Slip with Cutwork Details, £110 (SOLD! …. darn!…..)
So pretty.
More gorgeous gowns…
Left: Vintage 1950's Cream Satin Jacquard Wedding Dress, £125
Middle: Vintage 1950's Blue & White Floral Print Wedding or Prom Dress, £150
Right: Vintage 1940's White Lace Wedding Dress with Puffed Sleeves, £225
The Company also stock some breath-taking designer vintage items,
including Frank Usher, Jean Varon, Ian Thomas and Ralph Lauren.
So, all in all, one fantabulous source for vintage clothing lovers everywhere – and Twitter advises me that some rather special vintage party dresses are being added to the site VERY soon, just in time for the festive season of celebration!
Note that items can be shipped worldwide and a returns policy is available, which is rather excellent news for all my lovely new American and Canadian Blog readers of late!
