Streetstyle: Ms. Judith
Posted on | August 4, 2011 | No Comments
What I think I love most about Ms. Judith, is that she is a stellar example of dressing from head to toe. From her killer grey stilettos, to the top of her recently acquired bowler hat (picked up at Cabaret Vintage) you can see that thought went into the selection of each article of clothing. Leading busy lifestyles and having 24h schedules in most cases many outfits are chosen by the criteria of what’s closest to hand and is of similar colour. Judith, busy as ever with work, events, and family still makes it a priority to dress well. I especially love the punch of her textured stockings. She is worthy of a photo every time she visits. If you get to meet her, just hope that she has time to tell you a story from her extraordinary life. You don’t get to meet people like Judith very often!

Cabaret Vintage New Arrival: A new addition to the Cabaret Collection
Posted on | June 5, 2011 | 1 Comment
As with most of the dresses in our Cabaret Collection, this piece is principally sold in a lush poi de soie. It gives a shimmering richness that we love, not to mention being so plush to touch. Usually one of the first comments from women who try on Cabaret Collection dresses is “Its so soft on!”. Well if you are going to look stunning, why not feel comfortable as well?
This particular dress is a bit of a transformer with a variety of different looks that can be achieved with additional accessories. the bow pictured at the side can be moved to the other side or the centre of the bustline. For an even more minimal look it can even be removed completely. Pictured above is the dress with a short train. When paired with the dress it gives an almost flower-like silhouette with striking bold lines. It can be ordered at the short length shown, or gown-length so it sweeps the floor. For a wedding a longer train would look lovely walking down the aisle. However for later during the reception removing the train, or a shorter one may be more practical for a bride who may be cutting up the dance floor.
Though we have received a great response from brides-to-be for our Cabaret Collection dresses, never forget that all of our designs are also available in a rainbow of colours for any women having to attend an event that would love to add a touch of vintage-inspired beauty for their look. This particular dress looks absolutely stunning in Onyx (in fact we will be posting pictures of it over the next few days.)

Cabaret Vintage New Arrival: 1960′s Antique Satin White Coat
Posted on | June 4, 2011 | No Comments
As the weather gets warmer, its tempting to dress lighter for early evening events and to finally exile the heavy coat you’ve been sporting all winter to the back of the closet. However, sometimes the evening stretches to night and somehow the trip home is always freezing. This 1960′s Antique Satin White Coat is the perfect solution. Not only is it relatively lightweight, but it also the perfect weight of satin to keep off the evening chill late in the night.
It has a covered 5 button closure at the front that is fastened with fabric loops that are made with the same lovely satin as the coat. What elevates this coat beyond just a simple wrap is that its neutural shade is perfect with many colours so it has great versatility, but also it has fantastic lines in the back focusing in on two inverted pleats that add a bit of swing to the coat that gives the wearer freedom of movement.
This coat can be paired with the Antique White Satin tunic dress also currently in stock for a complete matching look.
Size: M/L
$165
