While the shape and structure of a dress is all important- there is something to be said for a unique print on an outfit. Individual and creative, it's these motifs and patterns that can really make for a quirky outfit- one that will get you noticed wherever you go.
Sure, there's nothing wrong with the plainer shades and muted tones on dresses and other vintage inspired looks. But a vibrant pattern can take you places and bring out a fun side that others styles just won't. Forget mass produced fashion, anything a little bit different goes- from comic strips and cartoon animals to sketchy still life drawings. In fact, the more surreal the better. Wild printed details will turn a chic Rockabilly outfit into a real conversation piece for all the right reasons. Take a look at these beauties for some printed style inspiration:
Birds and floral blooms will always be considered a classical look when it comes to dainty prints on dresses. Picking out a floral frock is a fabulous way to inject a real dose of the vintage into any daytime look. However, Hell Bunny have taken this this most retro of styles and made it super chic with a dash of vibrant purple. This makes the Birdy Aubergine Purple Pin Up Dress, (like all the others at Rockabilly Pin Up) just so wearable. Team your floral birdy pattern with a little cardigan or shrug for the cooler days. Add a string of pearls for an afternoon tea party, there are literally a million and one ways in which to wear vintage patterns like this sweet example.
Unique and fun is the name of the game with this gorgeous gown by Lady Vintage. Along with the flattering square neck line and tie waist there is the bold cupcake print. Find the most fabulous cupcakes, cookies and coffee cups all over this dress. The Black Cupcake Print Swing Dress by Lady Vintage is a swell way to express your love for all things sugary. The detailed pattern is set against a black background with a few Rockabilly cherries added for good measure. This is just one example of where being a little different can go a long way indeed. A wearable pattern to go with some retro hair rolls and heels for magnificent evening out dressing. This dress is also available in
cream.
Nothing says Christmas like a deep red, tartan in particular. It's rich aura has long been associated with the festive season. Find this luxurious fabric on bows and now on a delectable gown just party perfect. The Audrey Red Tartan Rockabilly Dress by Lindy Bop is the ideal festive outfit made so by the print. Complete with a lady like belt to cinch in the waist, this dress can be worn with or without a frilled underskirt (sold separately). While the cut of the dress is pretty and flattering, it has to be the bold tartan print that makes this into a one-of-a-kind dress.
Your Rockabilly dress will look chic, sensual and most importantly of all see you through the party months. Not sure what to wear on a big night out? Head on down to Rockabilly Pin Up and find fabulous frocks sure to rock this winter!
