A Classy Dame in One of Our Dresses

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Our customers are quite the classy dames and once in a while one of them is kind enough to send us a photo of themselves  rockin’ a retro dress they’ve purchased from us.

The photo below was sent to us from Natalie in Australia.  She wore one of our vintage inspired halter dresses for her 21 st birthday.  Looking positively pin up perfect,  I must say she and her photographer captured the whole retro glamour look beautifully.

Now carrying pinup dresses from Bettie Page Clothing

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Two of the latest additions to our site  are dresses from the new Bettie Page clothing line.  Tatyana Khomyakova, designer and owner of the Las Vegas based boutique that bears the name of the legendary 1950’s pinup model ,  pays homage to Bettie by creating clothing that embodies her seductively feminine look. I’m really fond of their sexy girl next door vibe and look forward to adding additional styles in the next few weeks.
