Retro fashion inspired by the forties (and a little bit of fifties): puff-sleeved blouses, sailor suits, polka-dotted halters, wide-legged trousers, floral and leopard wiggle interrupted with some Parisian cafe print, and there’s at least one voluminous swing dress finished with Day of the Dead ruffles. Custom welcome and it looks like vintage-style bikinis with all the trimmings are possible.

A UK boutique specializing in emerging designers of the bold and conceptual variety, where one can find velvet rompers, “braided” trousers, plaid jumpsuits, art tees, and other mod-to-modern flauntables among party dresses, separates, swimsuits, and lingerie. The accessories section gets kitschy with 80’s piano-key belts and poofy unicorn necklaces, also going retro in a wide selection of flapper headbands and fluffy hairpieces. Commissions are possible for certain pieces, contact for more info.
A fifties-eighties-zombie-punk rock’n'roll riot. Skeleton skinny jeans, pop art longsleevers and cocktail cardigans, flowered aprons, velvet frock coats, skirted swimsuits, page after page of pinup dresses in prints both sweet and psychotic. The bags feature dead girl gravestones and glittery brass knuckles, there are jewels and hair things from Kreepsville 666, and don’t miss the shoe section, which splatters neon animal prints onto everything from maryjanes to winklepickers.
With a name like that, one shouldn’t be surprised there’s an entire section devoted to leggings. Draping tanks, plaid bubble skirts, oversized sunglasses, scrunch boots, superlong earrings, Patrick Nagel tees, chain-draped bowties, glitter bikinis, houndstooth fedoras, hobo bags, gigantic cocktail rings, thick cincher belts, the all-important “layering basics,” everything updated for seamless blending with modern wardrobes. And a decent-sized men’s section!
A retro brand that aims for nothing less than 100% pure bombshell. Wiggle dresses curve from halters and capsleeves, falling into below-the-knee mermaidy ruffles and playing with polka dots, leopard, stripes, or classic vampy black. Also a good place to find pinup-style swimwear, both skirted longlines and side-tie bikinis, and tiny laceup bandeau tops.
Retro-style lingerie from a bunch of yesteryear-leaning brands: Alice & Astrid, Huit, Lou Paris, What Katie Did, Modern Courtesan, Kiss Me Deadly, Marlies Dekkers, Miss Mandalay, Ophelia Fancy, Simone Perele, Madame V, Yummie Tummie, Oskalilly, Insinuate, and others. Fringed knickers, nightdresses, sheer robes, bikinis, shapewear, old-fashioned stockings, and other intimates befitting a Golden Age starlet.
Itsy-bitsy bikinis that get downright microscopic. The navigation makes it easy to mix and match, suggesting coordinating designs to complete a set, or what the same piece would look like in different colors. Leopard, blue tartan, surfy flowers, embroidery, snakeskin, stripes, neon, most all of it made to cover up as little as possible.
