The Powder Room - Vintage, Burlesque & Pin-up Style
 
Vintage Reproduction Clothing
 
We believe that women never looked better than in the styling of the 1920's to the 1960's. While many genuine pieces have sadly been lost to the ages, we have attempted to source some beautiful designs that recreate those looks of the past. These pieces represent more than an era. They represent an image of creative, beautiful and strong women. Carefully hand picked, some of our most popular products are shown below.
