Fifi Dress by Heartbreaker Fashion

Fifidress

Heartbreaker Fashion may focus on 40s and 50s looks for most of their design influence, but it seems they can bring just as much of their usual flare to sixties pieces too. This Fifi Dress creates a chic mod style in a wide variety of colours and prints.

The dress structure is simple and effective, using a basic shift with an empire line. The sleeveless cut, a-line silhouette and contrasting folded collar all combine for a timeless mod style that doesn't put a foot wrong. The chosen prints available range from argyle (left), through houndstooth to more headturning floral prints (right).

Each version is available online from Heartbreaker Fashion for $80.
