Bespoke Fabrics

Since I was about 10 years old I have been fascinated by fabrics and prints. I just love Vintage prints and have spent my life searching for and loving them. So much so that I think I had trouble putting outfits together as everything I owned was some kind of print. I was probably 13 before I realised I probably shouldn’t be mixing them. I was fascinated with all kinds of prints. Big beautiful florals to cheeky novelty prints. So I am now absolutely ecstatic to be making our own... Read More

Our Pink label just got a whole lot better!   Making my own clothes is a lot of fun and something I have always enjoyed. But now I am happy to say we have started printing our own fabrics. These fabulous prints take influence from Vintage designs and are created exclusively for Vivien of Holloway. You will only see them here. I am so proud and excited this is a goal I have been chasing for a long time yet it came knocking at my door after I searched for... Read More

First Class New Kitty Dresses

I just announced on Facebook that we had some new Kitty Dresses coming and it created quite a stir. I know you ladies love this dress as much as I do. Originally designed as a Day Dress, I found it works just as well for evening.   I have chosen some deeper colours with an effective Anemone Print in Red and Teal this time. Also a fabulous Stamp Print in Black and Caramel and a gorgeous Pink Carousel design. You requested more novelty prints- so here you have them. They... Read More

Will you be a Sweetheart or a Heartbreaker?

Valentine’s Day is always a great excuse to dress up.

Whatever you decide you can be sure to find a great outfit on our website. Nothing says Sweetheart better than our Sweetheart Dresses or you can sizzle while breaking hearts in something a bit more risqué like a Red Halterneck Pencil Dress or even a Duchess Grace Circle Dress.

The New Laura Dress- Winter Wear from Daytime to Night

I’m sure by now you ladies are well aware that rather than design a range, I make what I would like to be wearing.                     Summer is no problem as we have Dresses for every occasion in warm weather. This transfers well into evening too, but for daytime winter wear there wasn’t so much choice.                     I used to just wear Pedal Pushers with boots and a turtleneck. Always dressed up with... Read More

New Gypsy Tops

Our cute new Gypsy Tops have arrived. For Autumn I thought it would be a great time try out some Chiffon and Lace fabrics. I was very excited to find these wonderful faux lace effect fabrics as it made me think of Marilyn in Bus Stop. Just a shame we didn’t have time to make the skirt she was wearing too. The gorgeous colours in the faux Lace are just perfect for Christmas and NYE parties. The Chiffon would be great for any time; being slightly see-through it gives you... Read More

Time for Tea Timers!

For years I have searched for beautiful Tea Timers. Where Men’s Hawaiian shirts have always been easily available, us ladies have always struggled to find the female counterpart. I have half a rail of vintage Hawaiian shirts but only 3 vintage Tea Timers. So now I have chosen some gorgeous authentic oriental prints to reproduce this cute blouse in. It is a great accessory for the beach or pool for over your Shorts. You may also find it handy at Cocktail Time as the Tea Timer looks great with Capris... Read More

I hope you ladies made the most of us making another batch of our Kitty Day Dresses the fabric is so authentic looking even the most avid Vintage collector could be fooled. I know I get lots of compliments whenever I wear mine. The Kitty has turned out... Read More

Swinging Slacks!

Well we know how much you love our 1940s style trousers so we try to keep the new fabrics coming. The neatly fitted waist and the flowing legs on these pants are completely reminiscent of the glamour of the 1940s. Such a classic shape but also comfortable and perfect for work rest or play. Smart for the office comfy for downtime and classy enough for going out in the evening. We have taken influence from our favourite movie Queens Katherine Hepburn, Rita Hayworth and Doris Day.
