Itgirl

While many of our favourite retro reproduction brands on RTG concentrate on a largely 50s look, there are often many sixties-look gems among the rockabilly faves. This It Girl dress by Mode Merr is one such dress, firing on all cylinders for an irresistible sixties style.

Th simplicity of the dress compliments the figure hugging cut well, providing that sophistication that always goes hand in hand with retro sex appeal. A high collar is given some spice with a notch, while short sleeves give some youth to the conservative pencil skirt style.

Cocoa

Modern tea dress interpretations are becoming increasingly common on the high street, creating a great summer choice. Thankfully for us, most versions retain some of their vintage roots with charm and style. This Coco Bean Dress by Closet is no different, leaning on a forties shape for inspiration.

The print is more modern than a forties look, without compromising the retro roots of the dress. Flutter sleeves and a shirred waist are modern touches, which in turn help to create a feminine retro silhouette.
