Dillinger Ink retro pinup swimsuitPinup skivvies that balance between gingham sweet and satin evening-glove vampery. Most of it runs to seamed stockings and fantasy costumes with some rhumba panties thrown in, but where this catalog really shines is the very good selection of retro swimwear: halter-necked one-pieces and bikinis designed with boyleg cuts and ruching for a decidedly yesteryear look that’s also very fligure-flattering, available in zebra stripes, polka dots, cherries, Hawaiian florals, and straight-up solids.

BTC Elements organic cotton wiggle dressOrganic, ethically-sourced fashion that works well with a diverse array of looks, from belted elvishness to tight corsetted pencil wiggle. Cowl necks, wide-legged pants, ruffled blouses, dresses that run the gamut from family get-togethers to hot dates, trenchy little coats, bathing suits, and hoodies of course. Much of the jewelry captures the natural patterns of feathers and leaves in recycled gold and silver, and the bags tend towards the bright and flowery.
