While the large percentage of retro reproduction designs is dedicated to amped up evening looks, there's nothing quite like the perfect daytime dress to truly delight. This Drinks On Me Dress by Bettie Page is the perfect choice for those dreaming about picnic season.

This piece achieves the perfect balance between daring and demure with a strapless cut and scooped back, countered by a full skirt and high neckline. The bold print is kept from being garish with a selection of colourful but classic shades, with the red belt providing the perfect finishing touch.

Military Dress by Bettie Page Clothing

Bettiepagemilitary

While a more subtle military influence is all the rage in mainstream fashion at the moment, there are times when our retro wardrobes call for something altogether more literal. This Olive Military Dress from Bettie Page Clothing takes the trend at face value to create a wonderfully kitsch dress straight from the forties and fifties wardrobe.

The structured tailoring makes a real impact, creating a bombshell hourglass silhouette on any frame. With a square neckline, double breast buttons and cutesy pleating at the hemline, the dress has plenty of military details to boast about. The rest is kept classically vintage themed, with wide shoulders and a slim pencil skirt cut creating a killer late forties look.

Get it online from Bettie Page Clothing for $134, also available in grey.
