What to wear for a Royal Wedding vintage style

Blog – Royal Wedding Day – 29/04/11
Watching and loving the Royal Wedding – thought I’d put together 3 vintage wedding looks for your delectation!
First is a late 50s silk rose print dress, with beautiful draping. I have teamed this with pink feather hat, pearl/crystal two-strand necklace, pearl dome earrings, white long matt satin gloves and white clutch bag. Plus alternative jewellery options.














Second option is a beautiful petrol blue sleeveless 1950s dress with dropped waist. Teemed with osprey feathered 50s fascinator, blue crystal demi-parure, long black chiffon gloves and small black 60s handbag. Again, more jewellery options.

















Third option – fantastic 50s black and white sleeveless 2-tiered bubble dress (similar to one worn by SJP in SATC).   Worn with black feather hat, pearl necklace and earrings, black or white long gloves and black handbag.





















Hope you like these ideas – will all be for sale shortly on new website.

The Perfect Spring Dress

Vintage fashion does not mean looking like a refugee from the Sunday evening serial!  It can easily reflect current trends, mixed with individual character and style.  

Winchester Vintage loves the fun and challenge of matching current “must haves” with the craftsmanship and pizzazz of 50s and 60s fashion and at a price that meets all pockets.  

Dress: Late 1950s Peter Barron
Take this dress: putting its interpretation on this summer’s key trends of Peter Pan collar; striking floral pattern; and colour blocking.  

Mixed with delicious accessories – a sure bet for a summer wedding, Royal Ascot or a night out with the girls!
