Shirt Dresses

The shirt dress is the everyday dress of the 1940s and 1950s: a shirt collar, a full or half button placket, a fitted cut with a belt and a skirt that falls slim or flared depending on the style. Our shirt dresses are newly made retro fashion from labels such as Banned Retro, Femkit, Circus Clothing and House of Foxy, with a size chart on every product page.

Most styles are knee length or midi and made of cotton or viscose, as a smart shirt dress in black or olive for the office, or striped or with a floral print for summer. The belt defines the waist, the button placket makes the dress easy to wear every day, and many styles have pockets. With its collar and buttons a shirt dress looks neater than a swing dress, which makes it the most versatile piece in a vintage style wardrobe.

If you want more swing, you will find it in our swing dresses, and polka dots and cherries in the rockabilly dresses. All cuts at a glance are under vintage style dresses, and the matching era under 1940s fashion. If you would rather try things on, you can visit our shop in Windsbach by appointment.
