Whiter shades of pale
Now that the days are lengthening and the sun is beginning to put in more regular appearances, our thoughts have been turning to weddings, proms and other special occasions which are always a perfect excuse to add lighter, brighter, whiter shades of pale to our wardrobes.
We currently have in stock some temptingly beautiful ivory, white and dreamy cream pieces from various eras which fit the special occasions bill without breaking the bank.
Let's start with the dresses....
This newly arrived stunning ivory floaty chiffon dress, embellished with the tiniest black beads, is from Coast.
And we have this lovely embellished ivory lace cocktail dress with a bit of sparkle from Planet.
This classic white linen dress from Jaeger can be accessorised to suit any occasion.
This 70s John Charles prom dress has a 50s debuntante look to it and has gold dots all over for some subtle sparkle.
This cream silk batik print dress is from the Twiggy Collection.
We also have a collectable 70s Laura Ashley Edwardian style white cotton maxi dress which is in great condition, although its original white sash belt is missing (but could be easily replaced). We love it as it is very similar to one the chief frocker bought in Edinburgh's Lothian Road shop around 1974.
Need to wrap up over your posh frock ? How about this luxury Astraka white faux fur coat with a touch of grey?
or a shorter vintage white faux fur jacket?
If you are planning on a flutter on Ladies Day at Royal Ascot, this Peter Bettley statement hat is a pretty safe bet!
We also have this pretty ivory cream romantic hat and cream occasion brimmed hat.
These cream shoes with a touch of gold and white bejewelled mules are comfortable to boot!


As for accessories, we have a selection of scarves, stoles, gloves and bags in complementary shades.
