a few ideas for Vivien of Holloway Jubilee outfits….www.vivienofholloway.com

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

www.vivienofholloway.com for your summer outfits….

Please NOTE that our sizes are NOT the same as the high street.

To avoid disappointment please follow these simple instructions.

• BUST (1)

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

• WAIST (2)

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.

• HIPS (3)

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

Here we have our classic gypsy top, but with a little extra sass!

Alongside favourite features such as our signature elasticated waist, neckline and puff sleeves, the crisp cotton fabric finishes snugly at your waist to accentuate your hourglass figure. Wear yours off-the-shoulder paired with your high waisted shorts on the beach, or team with pedal pushers for a bicycle ride in the country! 

Please note: These tops have been cut to a slightly more generous size.

Swathing your shoulders and torso in luxurious duchess satin, the wrap top forms a flattering V-neck and back, and fastens with a hidden zip. Subtle cap sleeves and gentle pleats naturally create shape and texture across the bust, whilst a smooth and flattering panel cinches the waist and accentuates your curves.

The full circle skirt falls gracefully away from the hips and sits below the knee; perfect with a petticoat or two to achieve that fabulous 1950s silhouette!
