Ashes to Ashes

Generate your Gene Genie or activate your inner Alex!

The cult BBC series Ashes to Ashes, starring Philip Glenister and Keeley Hawes, stirred the Gene Hunt and Alex Drake in all of us, whether or not we remembered it first time round, and helped fuel an ongoing 80s fashion revival. Here we have gathered together a selection of Ashes  inspired frockery to bring out the inner Gene or inspire the Alex in you. Visit our Frockery Talk blog to see an example of an Ashes to Ashes look we have put together from our catalogue.

Sizing

Customers are asked to bear in mind that vintage garment sizes bear little or no resemblance to contemporary sizes. Furthermore, current high street size labels are inconsistent, with M&S and Wallis being noted for their generous proportions while others come up on the small side.

Please always refer to the measurements provided in the item description rather than the garment label size, and note that any ‘best fit’ suggestion we make will be based on modern day sizing. By way of example, our own suggested standard size 12 dress has an underarm to underarm measurement of approximately 19" with a waist size of 30".

In order to best gauge the suitability of an item, you may find it useful to compare our stated measurements with those of one of your own garments which is a comfortable fit. Our garment measurements are taken with the item laid flat, and all sizes in our descriptions are approximate.

The following charts give approximate comparative UK/US/European sizes for women’s clothing and shoes.
