It has been such a busy time that I forgot to share this dress last week!!!! Busy, but super brilliant Vivaettes!!!! I have the best news to share!!! But that can be a bit later 😜😍🤩

For now lets meet the dress!!! Let's say this one is...
🦢 Rockabilly Romance Meets Classic Elegance ✨

Make a striking statement in this stunning 1950s-style swing dress from Rock Steady Clothing! 💙
Combining rock-and-roll confidence with timeless grace, this navy midi features a gorgeous "Swan Lake" border print along a full flared skirt. With its flattering belted waist, sweetheart-adjacent neckline, and retro silhouette, it’s the perfect blend of classic pin-up style and modern edge.

Why I am obsessed:
🦢 Distinctive swan and botanical border illustration.
💃 Perfect swing silhouette made for movement and twirling.
🖤 Designed by Rock Steady to bring an authentic, alternative retro vibe.

I paired the dress with a butterfly brooch, pearls, hair flower & white bangles from The Viva Village, then James & Eric found the perfect hat match with this vintage sailor cap.. Which they tol me the name of but I have forgotten!!! Do you know the name of this styled hat?

We have a red and the blue of this dress in stock - I am wearing a medium and there is a large (red one), just waiting for you 😉😘

Big shout out to my hatter ### Thank you for taking the time for photographing me and for listening to my wild ideas and for always making me smile 🥰💙🥰

Location - Galleria Ettalong Beach - Our new studio 😍😍😍

Oh hello, splendid!!! This dress Vivaettes!!! This dress is beyond glorious 😍😍😍

This vintage 70s maxi dress that Wendy has in stock, is all romance and garden-party glamour. She features a rich burgundy fitted bodice, sweet cream collar, long sleeves, and a dreamy cream, champagne-gold full skirt with red, burgundy and bronze detailing.

Perfect for high tea, race days, garden parties, vintage events, photoshoots, weddings, markets, festivals, my wardrobe 😜😜😜 or any occasion that needs a little pizazz!!

Add pearls from The Viva Village, a flower bloom from Bec's Hair Blooms, with a cap (which is not its real name!!) from Coastal Hatters and she becomes pure vintage magick!!! Elegant, whimsical, warm, super comfortable and ready for that spot next to your other winter dresses 🤩🥰😍

The trouble I am having here is deciding which hat as you can see 🤣😉😝 Do I go with the cap or the hat!!!!

Oh Wonderlanders 🥰🥰🥰
There truly is nothing quite like a well-tailored vintage silhouette. I was feeling like a classic pinup icon in this Rock Steady piece. It was a pure moment of embracing my inner Carmen Sandiego!!! 😉😝😍

I just love the contrast of the bright red bow collar and cuffs against the structured black dress. Timeless, bold, and forever in style. 🌹👠
I added one of the glorious brooches that our Wendy of Mine Is Yours Preloved Treasures has in stock, threw on a red and black bangle off The Viva Village shelves with a red bow belt.
I then popped down to Coastal Hatters a few shops down from us, and wahlah!!!! PinUp Carmen Sandiego 🤩👏😉

Big shoutout to my Hatter who popped up for the day yesterday to shoot and who said they would be back next week to get more!!! He may not be a professional but he sure is doing a great job and we have the funniest days together 🥰🥰🥰

This dress is a medium, that we sold today!! But we still have one large left 👏👏👏 Which you can find at our Viva Village, located where our studio is as well!! The incredible that is Galleria Ettalong Beach... What are you doing this weekend??? You should so come for a visit!!!

Then you can be one of the first people to know about the super surprise we have coming up for you!!!!! 😉😜😘

Merry Monday Evening Vivaettes xx Tonight we share the last dress of last weeks shoot day ☺️☺️☺️
This is one of my most loved dresses 😍😍
To have one in the store is just sublime and i cannot wait til she finds a home!!!

Like seriously!!! I am absolutely in love with this HellBunny Eternity Swing dress, especially because the vibrant red rose print contrasts so beautifully against the deep black fabric. It's just so very Wonderland which suits me just perfectly!! One could say it is a very fairfarren thing 😉😋😍

The structured bodice and sweetheart neckline hug my frame perfectly to give it an instant vintage elegance, while the three-quarter-length sleeves keep the look polished and comfortable. My absolute favorite part has to be the voluminous pleated skirt, with or without a petticoat, it creates the most amazing movement and classic swish every single time I turn.. 🤩👗🥳

I have paired it here with a red cinch belt, but I often change that up pending what I am accessorising with.. I have some red flowers in my hair from the shop and one of the shop parasols in hand.. And you guessed it!! A brooch from our Wendy who is the heart of Mine Is Yours Preloved Treasures 💙💙💙

I have another photo day planned to spend with my Hatter and so we shall have more of "What's at The Viva Village" super soon..
As that playdate is not til next week.. We will shoot our most amazing Miss Luna Bloom this week with a few of our phenomenal plus size range 😍😍😍

I don't know about you, but I am so super keen for this 🤩👏🙌 She is so simply divine is all the ways!!!!

Looking for something new but preloved this winter? The Viva Village has you covered xx We are open Mon, Tues & Wed by appointment and the 9:30am - 3pm Thursday - Sunday - Shop 73, Galleria Ettalong Beach 😍😍😍

What a big day Vivaettes!! Big, bold and utterly glorious 😍😍😍
Just like this Hell Bunny Vixen!!! Oh she is a showstopper!!!!

This is the kind of dress you put on and instantly feel like you should be walking into a garden party, a rockabilly dance hall, or a very dramatic love scene where you absolutely know you’re the main character xx

She has a beautiful black background covered in big pink roses, so she’s romantic, bold and just a little bit cheeky. Pre-loved, but in immaculate condition, she still has plenty of twirls left in her. 💃

The cotton has a little touch of stretch, so she feels crisp and structured without being stiff. She gives you shape, but still lets you breathe, move, dance and eat cake, which is very important!!! haha

The neckline sits beautifully, the 3/4 sleeves give her that elegant vintage feel, and the double-breasted front is just gorgeous. There’s even a hidden inside button because good frocks should have secrets 😉😉

She zips up at the back, has a matching belt to pull in the waist, and then there’s the skirt… Look at her!!! A full circle skirt with serious swoosh. Wear her on her own for pretty everyday glamour, or add a petticoat underneath and let her become the full vintage dream.

I paired her with one of Bec's Hair Blooms Headpiece with matched perfectly and the tassel on the end is was to die for 😍😍😍

We added pink bangles, a Mine Is Yours Preloved Treasures brooch with pearls from the shelves and wahlah!!!! The perfect outfit for a day out or in!!!

We have one more shoot set left from our day with my hatter... Which we shall share tomorrow for you.. Should we shoot more of the The Viva Village studio and shop stock for you? It has been such a beautiful response and I thought that Miss Luna Bloom & I share more with you ###

Remember that photoshoot we spoke of yesterday Vivaettes? Well here is today's outfit that comes from our Wendy of Mine ...

Remember that photoshoot we spoke of yesterday Vivaettes?
Well here is today's outfit that comes from our Wendy of Mine Is Yours Preloved Treasures 😍😍😍
And what a treasure!!!

This $30, sky blue vintage sheath dress a classic style, from the 1960s/ 1970s. It features a functional zip-front closure and is crafted from crimplene. It features a notched lapel adorned with subtle floral embroidery. And it is super fun to wear 🤩🤩🤩

I again matched with a hat!!! Look at me try new things 👏👏👏
Not just any hat!! Another 1970's sun hat that also travelled all the way from Las Vegas to The Viva Village thanks to the wonder that is our Bec's Hair Flowers 👒👒👒

I have one of Wendy's amazing brooches as she has one to match every occasion, for every day!!! Shopping??? There is a brooch for that... Stitching??? There is a brooch for that!!! Outside or inside?? There is a brooch for that too 🙌💙🙌

And you can find all of this marvellous at The Viva Village xx
