Vintage Lovely with Voodoo Vixen.

6 comments




Fances Cardigan: c/o Voodoo Vixen. Circle Skirt: Made by Me. Glasses: Jeepers Peepers.

Now as you all know I do have a little bit of a thing for the retro/vintage look. Sometimes I'll go all out and try and look as authentic as possible but most of the time I tend to mix something from one era with modern day style. I rarely wear true vintage and generally opt for reproduction as I vastly prefer the fabrics and the fit size wise is usually a little better however I often have to size up to a size 22 in repro brands for a little breathing room. A large number of vintage reproduction companies don't really offer anything over a UK20 but this is where Voodoo Vixen comes into play, they've recently launched their plus size range which currently caters for a UK24+ and I'm happy to say their fit is right on here I'm wearing the Frances cardigan in a 3xl which is around a UK20. I did find that the last two buttons were a struggle to do up but I think this is due to the knit that was used as it fits perfectly everywhere else!

This is one of the first pieces Voodoo Vixen has sent me to review and I'm over the moon with the quality, fit and over all style! I've got a rather stunning dress to show you next but I'm just waiting for a few final pieces to make the whole look perfect! I know they also have some utterly fabulous pieces coming out in the New Year so stay tuned! I finished the look with a skirt I made for myself during the summer and I'm so glad that with this cardigan it makes it a little more weather appropriate for this time of year and my cat eye glasses that I do actually need to see with.

What do you think of the new Voodoo Vixen plus size range what are your favourite pieces?

These are some pictures the ever so lovely Mike Sutton took of key pieces from my collection for me, aren't they just darling? I'm really happy with the outcome of these shots and how the session went, I hope I'll get the chance to work with Mike in the future. I styled this shoot as well with an over seeing eye from Jemma Sawyer who is a freelance stylist and consultant shes worked with people such as Example and Jessie J to name but a few. I've met Jemma before when she came and spoke to my college and I hope I'll possibly get a chance to work with her in the future also!

I'll try and talk more about how I felt doing this shoot if and when I get more pictures from it as so many were just lovely! I'd like to say a big thank you to the photographer once again for being the right person for my collection and cheers to Jemma who virtually left me to my own devices for styling my collection as everything I did seemed to work perfectly with it.
