Well, it's arrived! Catherine over at Vintage Frills has just posted about attending the launch party for a new online vintage repro shop, 'Tatyanna'. They don't just stock the 'Monte Carlo' dress (£120), they also stock this houndstooth beauty, 'Mitzi' (£85).
And this fabulous number, 'Milan' too (£105). Start saving those pennies, or get a Christmas wish-list on the go!
What I love about Heartbreaker is how practical the designs are - you could wear any of these to work - and the simplicity of a lot of the fabrics. Classic colours, houndstooths, ginghams and checks, with chic detailing and not too much of the 'twee florals' as I call them. I'm not a florals girl, unless they're tropical florals, with big punchy colours and maybe a flamingo thrown in. A lot of the designs feature sleeves, or if they're sleeveless they still have a high neck and back. Brilliant for the British weather. I need to state at this point that I don't actually own a Heartbreaker dress yet, but that may change when payday comes and I take Mitzi home...
How amazing is the set they've used for the photoshoot too? I can imagine it's a 1950s-1960s modernist build nestled somewhere in the forests of America on a rocky outcrop. Perhaps Dakota. I'm reminded of the amazing house that features in the Hitchcock film, 'North By Northwest'. Which apparently wasn't a real house, it's just some clever set design.
The red dress looks like a winner... would love to see it on you :)
ReplyDeleteMy word, these are rather stunning, aren't they! Their prices far exceed my usual reach, but I wouldn't be adverse to saving up or taking your great suggestion and asking Santa for one - just think of perfectly fitting it would be to receive the red for Christmas! :)

They are beautiful! Although I declare me a girl always eager to flowery fabric. If you want some special model you do not find in stores, I can sew it for you. Kisses.
