Towards the end of last year, the lovely people at
Simply Be saved my sartorial skin when I was on the hunt for a
flapper style dress to suit my non-flapper shape
. Hips and breasts are not a friend of the usual 1920s styles, so it was with great relief that I unpacked the above stunning dress for an
art-deco event I was DJing at.
One of the things which came out of the swap was an article wrote about
modern day vintage styles. I absolutely love shopping for vintage clothing, but the reality is large breasts often make for slim pickings, and it can be frustrating rummaging through rails to come away with nothing but disappointment. Although you'd have to drag me kicking and screaming for my favourite vintage haunts, I do love that there is has been a turn towards
"heritage chic" on the catwalks, with a range of
vintage inspired styles sailing down the catwalks and into shops. It was really encouraging to see that I could find a dress from
every decade from the 20s to the 70s when pulling the article together, and you can read the whole story
here on the Simply Be Blog.
It was really nice to be writing about fashion again, especially about vintage influences which is something very close to my heart.
Until next time,
Diana xx
