Marks & Spencer are celebrating their 125th birthday at the moment, and they've brought out a range of clothes inspired by their archives.

Some of it is more 60's than anything but I thought a few of you ladies might find it interesting!

Topshop have some really cute prints right now. I just got this tennis print dress, it's adorable!

Heartbreaker Fashions

I just wanted to say that I have purchased a few things recently from Heartbreaker Fashion and they are great. They are primarily a rockabilly/50's retro site, but they carry larger sizes, and for me, that's important.

I've had their black pencil skirt in a size 1x (I usually wear a modern 14) for a while now and it fits me very well and is great for casual or dressing up.

I recently ordered a red Terri Top (yay for 3/4 length sleeves) and the cherry print top and they accidentally sent me the leopard top instead of the cherry. When I notified them, not only did they reply almost immediately, but they not only are sending me out the cherry top asap, AND asked me to keep the leopard top because of their error. Now you don't get that kind of service much anymore and I wanted you all to know about it.

So go check them out!

wow!

Has this designer been mentioned? Did a search but no joy. Some absolutely beautiful things, it's a shame that not many places stock them. Check out the winter '09 collection, some of the stuff is just *drool*

and no, not affiliated here either! lol

EDIT: turns out the label is in alot of stores in the US and Canada. Sorry if this is old news but I wasn't familiar with them until now.

Can anyone recommend some really good 50's-style capri or cigarette pants? I really want some!

I finally broke down and pre-ordered this one...it doesn't ship until 6/15, but I'll review it here once I get it. I'm not usually a big fan of green with my coloring, but it's hard to find a repro shirtdress that is this cute, and the price is good, in my opinion.

For those of you with a bit of money to spend, Gilt Groupe is selling items from Zac Posen's vintage inspired line at a deep discount (still several hundred dollars)!

I, myself, am a plus sized vintage diva and I was wondering if any of you wonderful ladies knew of any online retailers that do custom sizing/custom work??

[The Shirt]

Has anyone mentioned the Suzy Chin line? Not everything looks vintage - but I am looking at this one for my mothers upcoming wedding. Not quite sure if it's formal enough - but I love the cut.

Has anyone been seeing any good vintage inspired clothing for fall this year? I've been casually looking (the bank account doesn't allow much else) but I'm looking to bulk up my fall/winter wardrobe.

I think places that are all about exuding classic style, like Banana Republic or J. Crew, might be a good place for you to look, especially for things like sweaters.

If you have a Fashion bug in your area, I always see Vintage inspired-looking clothes(and shoes.) in that store...especially with the Studio 1940 line.

I like April Cornell dresses. And I've been buying solid cardigans at Macys. They have several brands in the $30-35 range.

Hobbs

Hobbs is a great brand for dresses, blouses and tailored suits. I went to the outlet store in Swindon, England. Still quite expensive, but great quality and the skirts and jackets fit very nicely over broad hips/small waist!
Nice example (not mine though):
