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.

A Mini Top Hat Makes Great Head Gear



Miseria Top Hat - Some what Plain
at Get Go Retro.com



When I hear the word Top hat, 2 things come to mind.  The words "stove pipe hat" and, Abe Lincoln, and Fred Astaire.  Two totally different time periods and people.  One a politician, the other an entertainer.  And, I always think, "man's" fashion accessory.  But, top hats aren't just for men!!!!! Women --- take note; top hats are a great fashon accessory for women.  The Mini top is a fabulous accessory to compliment your favorite outfit or even costume.

Top hats are among the most popular fashion head accessories that have been around for over two hundred years. The original design has been altered over the years, as  fashion designers have changed the materials and added to the "style" of the plain black hat, which is why you can find different looking top hats in the vintage stores.

Mini top hats  became overly trendy during World War I which is why mini top hats are frequently seen paired with vintage clothing such as the Victorian outfits. Today they are worn  as part of the clubbing scene; and as a good complements for gothic, rockabilly  and steam punk fashions as well.

The mini top hats you are likely to buy have a slim style and elastic to make sure it fits snugly to the head; and or you can use hair pins. Today's hat is not just a plain black hat perched on the head.  Popular styles have  glitters, feathers, ribbons, netting, birds  and a host of other embellishments. When picking a top hat, pick one that matches your outfit.  If it is an upscale event; such as a wedding or banquet, you may want to pick one that is sbudued.  A rave or dance party, go wild, try different colors, styles, sizes, materials and embellishments. You are much more likely to grab timeless attention this way.

Holiday parties are coming up soon and in addition to a fab dress, don't forget your accessories!
