Due to a love of fashion from decades past especially from the 40's to 60's and a desire to find garments in good wearable condition I decided to find a good reproduction. As a grown up lady, and mother of a toddler I am no longer able to fit into all of my thrift store and estate sale finds without worrying about destroying a true vintage garment.
During my search I found a lovely dress by
Voodoo Vixen seen in the pictures above. Voodoo Vixen is a label that started in London, England. They have designers in both Los Angeles and London. They make lovely vintage reproductions with a modern twist and carry up to size 4XL. Their clothing is manufactured in the England and the United States.The dress in the picture above is from a few seasons past, but can still be found on Amazon for about $65. The fabric is a cotton spandex blend with a classic black and white check print. It has a side metal zipper, white bow, full circle skirt and a white belt. The only drawback is the belt runs small and the last loop on the belt is not long enough to fit through the buckle. That is why I decided to wear another belt.Voodoo Vixen does have a similar dress with the same print called the
Mia for the affordable price of $30.21.
From this Year's Summer collection I absolutely adore the
Tilly dress shown in the picture above. It is a button up shirt waist dress with a knee length, pleated, circle skirt. It comes in a beautiful floral, pastel, sherbert fabric made of cotton and elastane. The Tilly also comes in a black and pink floral fabric.
Voodoo Vixen also has a great collection of cardigans that I will be looking into for the fall. In posts to come I will also write about
Pin Up Girl Clothing that carry several brands that are all made in the United States.
