  60s Trends That Inspire Our Handmade Collection! The 60s are iconic for so many reasons, from Mary Quant to the emergence of the hippie style, there is a reason it is one of the most memorable decades for fashion! Just landed on our site, our handmade collection consists of babydoll dresses, berets, pattern clashing zip up dresses AND capes - scroll to the bottom to check them out! We are so excited about restocking our best selling handmade collection, so we wanted to share some of the incredible trends that inspired us!  The Babydoll Dress A silhouette that flatters every figure, the 60s are legendary for the birth of the mini dress - more specifically the babydoll dress, which can be defined by its trapeze shape going out from the bust. Both comfortable and glamorous, it's as good for dancing as it is for running errands on a Wednesday. Our favourite piece in the handmade collection - the babydoll dress, see at the end - is heavily inspired by this 60s shape because of its eas

  It's back! Without a doubt the most exciting film for vintage fans back in 2019, Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood is back on Netflix in the UK and we couldn't be happier. Set in 1969, this Tarantino special has some of the most celebrated actors in the world (Leo, Brad, Margo Robbie from Babylon and Austin Butler from Elvis) - but more importantly for us, some of the best '69 aesthetics we have ever seen! We therefore thought it was only right that we dedicated a TOG blog post to this sensational film, as well as our top vintage picks from the site for how you can dress like the legendary characters. First up on our style list is Rick Dalton, aka Leonardo DiCaprio - and I honestly can't decide whether I prefer his swanky 60s LA look, or his 'in character' 50s Western cowboy look!

  Halloween is just around the corner, and I don't know about you guys but it is one of our favourite times of the year. The time of soups, autumn tones, crunchy leaves and of course - dressing up time!  Yes yes, Halloween is all about thinking of cool costume ideas, whether that be a fully blown concept or just wearing all the cutest spooky characters. And while that's all well and good, Halloween is a *frightening* time of waste - without even touching upon the pumpkins or decorations.  According to Save Your Wardrobe, an estimated 7 million costumes are thrown out every year, the majority of which end up in landfill. And sadly, due to the large proportion of costumes being made from plastic based fabrics (like nylon and polyester), this is the equivalent of 83 million plastic bottles which will take over 300 years to decompose. But never fear!! That is why your favourite vintage clothing shop is ready to help. We have gathered together a handful of incredible 1960s, 1970s an
