You’ve got the blouse and the dress, now get the underwear! 

Topshop has added lingerie sets to the latest Celia Birtwell collection. There are three sets available to buy online, and they use the same prints as the current selection of clothing.  Pictured here is the Blue Moon print (which confusingly isn’t blue at all) with sets in Micklemas and Maison Marigold designs also available.

Comprising of a camisole and a pair of mini tie-sided knickers, the sets costs £28 each.  They certainly look very pretty and are a reasonable price, but unfortunately they are just made of viscose, which is a shame as a silk-mix fabric would have been preferable.

When people think of seventies fashion, they most often picture the student folk look that was so popular with young hippie types. That’s all well and good, but it does deprive lovers of retro looks of a myriad of options. This Ives Dress from French Connection is reminiscent of something quintessentially seventies – loungewear.

Somewhere between bourgeoisie and New York disco, this silk number is taken back a few decades by the flowing cut and draped bell sleeves. Teamed with a risqué hem fit for Studio 54, this is a great piece of retro fashion under the radar.

It’ll set you back £95 from French Connection.
