This is something I have thought about doing for a while…
I am addicted to reproduction vintage fashion, that is no secret. When I hit the age of around 21, I bought a string of fake pearls and a full set of Music to Watch Girls By CDs. I needed to hear crooners and dress like the women in my beloved old movies.

So when you see me out and about, at festivals up and down the country, dolled up to the nines, it’s because I just can’t help it. I know how I feel when I’m dressed down and I know that I prefer how I feel when I’m dressed up.
When I post pictures of myself in my latest frock, there is a part of me that feels guilty because it is not a picture of a cake. Then you gorgeous lot all click the like button and say such lovely things.
And I was asked if I would start a fashion blog…

Dress by Glamour Bunny
It’s ALL reproduction – I own very few genuine vintage pieces and I regularly wear even less. My reasons are simple…
- I need my clothes to work hard, I bake, I rarely get messy but I do get hot under lights and standing next to ovens. They need to wash and wash well. I’ve had vintage dresses fall apart (literally) on me and the heartbreak is terrible.
- Real vintage is small. I’m a medium. Enough said.
- Good vintage is expensive. You get what you pay for and the really good stuff takes time, research, and knowledge to come about.
- I’m not a museum piece. I’m a real, 21st Century ass-kicking gal. I want to mix and shake things up.
