Evening elegance for Queen magazine, 1951.
The halterneck has always been a firm favourite in 1950’s fashion, which is why it is Vivien of Holloway’s signature neckline. It helps to create the look of an hourglass figure, showing your curves going in and out from head to toe.

Our 1950s style pencil skirts are carefully designed to make the very most of your dangerous curves. Wearing one you can be a rockabilly femme fatale or a girl-next-door, or whichever takes your fancy at the time! Available in a range of plain fabrics, as well as authentic tweed-look and prince of wales checked cloth, each one is cut to make the most of your waist and hips, so do ensure you measure yourself carefully for the most flattering fit. You’ll be a picture if you pair your skirt with one of our alluring halterneck tops. Accessorise with a hairflower and an air of innocence… or a knowing smile! As all our clothes, these skirts are made right here in England.
Lenght of the skirt is 27.5 inches
Please NOTE that our sizes are NOT the same as the high street.
To avoid disappointment please follow these simple instructions.
Please measure around the fullest part of your bust. The style will allow for a couple of inches either way. This is NOT your bra size
Please measure tightly around the narrowest part of your body. This is usually the measurement that decides which size you will buy. You can allow for a few inches difference on the bust measurement before you have to deviate from your waist measurement.
Please measure around the fullest part of your hips.
If you follow these instructions you should be able to find your perfect size. The waist is the most important measurement to take accurately, to ensure a flattering fit. If you’re still in any doubt, please do visit our boutique in Holloway Road to be measured in person by one of our friendly and helpful shop assistants.
These high-waisted wonders tick all the right boxes with their wide waistband and uniquely winged patch pockets. They’re perfect for 1940s fans and 1950s girls alike, cut to hit at the most authentic, and flattering, part of the upper thigh; and they look absolutely smashing when paired with one of our gypsy blouses or sweetheart halterneck tops.
Currently available in red and black cotton sateen as well as black and pale blue lightweight denim, we guarantee they’ll send temperatures soaring, even if the lovely summer sun deserts us!
Proudly made right here in the in the UK
