Mad Men Style Dresses .... How Can You Not Love Them


Mad Men's secretary Joan Holloway is the office sexpot - she just can't help it.  She drives the men wild with her proper but curvey inspired  dresses that are a combination of buttoned-up professionalism and body hugging bold coverage.  Lots of imagination going on when you look at Holloway. 
Check out our version of Holloways bombshell dress in our knock off version.  Navy blue, red, white combo, is custom made to your measurements. You can be sexy by emphasizing your silhouette and not showing your cleavage (or butt.)  I mean look at Holloway!

This is a fabulous outfit. Joan is moving into the sixties and choosing a bold, op-art pattern.

I think even Andy Warhol would be proud of her : )

To Infinity and Beyond! Our Galaxy Fishtail Skirt Dress!


Fabulously forties - this is a truly unique dress that is retro chic at it's finest!  This is a gorgeous dress, puffy sleeve style with flaps at the waist and a fishtail at the back.  The fitted waist creates an hourglass silhouette and the fishtail back skirt detail is in keeping with the 1940's vibe.  Ours is custom made to fit your body, so you'll need to provide measurements for a custom fit.   Afterall, fit is crucial to the overall look of the skirt. The waist needs to be tight-fitting. The length needs to be proportional to your height. Fit the dress to your hips as well.

Look in the mirror to see if the tail or flare of the dress begins at the knee. If the skirt is worn properly, the wearer has a look similar to a mermaid.

New -- The Diner Girl Dress ... It Will Serve You Well!

Servin' it up hot!  Okay, okay it is a little "on the trashy side," but it's still a pretty cool dress.  This is a retro 50's diner girl and red cigar dress. It has a fitted bodice and a sexy full cigar skirt, that gives every body type an hour glass shape.

The diner fabric has 50's style car hops on roller skates. Would look even more sexy with a red petticoat underneath.

Also available in black fabric : )   Available here.

Just added a few dresses to the site including Raven and Clara:

Raven is a simple cap sleeve dress has a trendy and fashionable touch to it with its contrasting intricate detailing. It has a shallow v-shape neckline, which is lined with a netted/webbed design in tan threading. A series of 3 embroidered flowers in hot pink and tan stitching slightly overlap the webbed boarder on each side of the neckline. The bottom has a slightly scalloped cut, which is defined with tan threading. On the bottom front of each side of this dress there is a triangle that is made of the same webbed/netted design as the neckline. In the middle of the triangle there is the same floral design found at the neck as well. The bottom of this dress has a slit on each side. Two long strings made of the same material and of the same color as the rest of the dress extend from the sides and tie at the back allowing you to cinch the waist. The super soft material is slightly stretchy providing a relaxed and comfortable fit. Hits at about mid thigh. -100% Rayon


Clara is a fun and chic lightweight dress has a black inner layer and a sheer, chiffon-like outter layer. This outer layer has a circle print of a different material than the rest of the dress making them stand out. The square-shaped neckline is lined with connecting knitted flowers. The shoulder straps and upper back are also made of the same pattern. The light material flows well with the movement of your body. Hits at about mid-thigh. -100% Polyester
Both are under $40.00 and fashionablly cute!

Suzette .. Flirty and Fun Swing Dress


Flirty and fun . . . Suzette, is a welcome addition both on and off the dance floor. Suzette is based on a photograph from 1955. The magenta and black, rayon-acetate, brocade fabric is quite heavy which is in keeping with the thick, dense fabrics fashionable at the time. This halter dress is flattering on most body types. The six gore, full circle skirt can be accompanied by crinolines for a more exaggerated silhoutte. You can see that the skirt spins delightfully. The neckline and hem are framed in black velveteen. The bodice is made of four parts and features black, faceted buttons under each breast. Available at Get Go Retro.
