Erica-Loren New York 1970s Lavender Maxi Nightgown

Erica-Loren New York 1970s Lavender Maxi Nightgown

$99.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Somewhere between a goddess gown and a whisper, this Erica-Loren New York nightgown in the softest wash of lavende is the epitome of the seventies. The silhouette is empire in spirit, with a deep V-front, delicate self-tie bow at the centre bust, and double spaghetti straps that lend the shoulders a bare, unencumbered elegance. The fabric, a soft nylon blend with gentle stretch, moves with an instictive fluid ease. Cut with a sweeping A-line skirt and a low V at the back, this is a piece that lives beautifully in motion.

Worn as eveningwear or styled with strappy sandals and gold jewellery, this gown is quiet glamour. The empire waistline, defined by a gathered elastic band, sits high beneath the bust to lengthen the body from waist to floor. The A-line skirt adds generous volume through the hip and thigh, making it particularly flattering for those who like volume below a defined bust. The deep neckline draws the eye upward, and the bare back adds drama. A denim jacket and long slip underneath takes it effortlessly out of the bedroom and into the world.

Osti Fashions Raspberry Ditsy Floral Sleeveless Wrap Bodice Midi Dress

Osti Fashions Raspberry Ditsy Floral Sleeveless Wrap Bodice Midi Dress

$129.00 $99.00 Save $30.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Hundreds of tiny blue and teal daisies scattered across a deep raspberry ground, the print on this Osti Fashions dress warrants a closer look. Made in New Zealand when local fashion labels were able to produce genuinely good ready-to-wear, the fabric has a soft texture that gives the print real depth, the flowers shifting between cobalt, periwinkle and sage depending on the light. The bodice is cut with a deep crossover V-neckline, the fabric folding across itself in a clean wrap that needs no fastening. An elasticated waist draws the dress in neatly before the skirt falls in a soft A-line to midi length.

The crossover neckline is a generous silhouette. The elasticated waist accommodates without gripping, and the A-line skirt moves freely below it. Bare arms and a simple flat sandal is all this needs in summer. Come cooler months, a fine knit layered underneath or over top keeps it going well past the season it was made for.

$129.00 $99.00 Save $30.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

A beautifully romantic authentic vintage dress in a soft powder blue floral print, scattered with delicate pink roses and framed by cascading ruffle detailing across the neckline and shoulders. The lightweight cotton blend fabric carries an airy softness, moving gently through the tiered midi skirt with an effortless drape. Its gathered neckline and flutter sleeves evoke the femininity of occasion dressing, while the fitted waistline creates elegant structure through the body. The floral print feels timeless and quietly nostalgic, balancing sweetness with graceful sophistication.

The silhouette softly defines the waist while allowing ease through the hips and skirt, making it especially lovely for those wanting balanced proportion and fluid movement. The ruffled neckline draws attention upward and beautifully frames the shoulders and collarbone. Style with woven sandals and straw hat for warm weather gatherings, or pair with tall boots and a denim jacket through cooler seasons. The soft blue palette layers beautifully with creams, faded denim, or dusky pink accessories.

Vintage Clothing - 17JEWEL Earring - TEMPLATE Screw back - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Earrings

Authentic Vintage Sonny White Cotton Blend Sleeveless Lace Trim Blouse

$129.00 $99.00 Save $30.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This Sonny blouse is a clean, bright white piece with a little romance built in. The wide collar is finished with soft lace, the armholes are trimmed the same way, and the fabric-covered buttons run down the front like a proper finishing touch.

It is lightly shaped through the bust and waist, then finishes at a cropped length that sits beautifully with high-waisted denim, tailored trousers, or a full skirt. The cotton blend feels breathable and wearable, with enough structure to keep the silhouette looking neat.

Try it with one of our denim skirts and silver flats for dinner. Or go modern with wide-leg silk trousers, a cherry-red heel, and a bold earring. If you want something a little softer, pair it with a pale butter-yellow cardigan and a navy skirt.

This shape is great if you like a defined waist and a tidy fit through the bust without extra bulk. It also works well if you prefer your tops to sit close to the body, then finish at the waist so your proportions stay balanced with high-rise bottoms.

Vintage Clothing - Pitlochry Scotland Pure New Wool Tartan Pleated Midi Skirt 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Skirts

Pitlochry Scotland Pure New Wool Tartan Pleated Midi Skirt

$129.00 $99.00 Save $30.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This is the kind of authentic vintage skirt that makes everything else in your wardrobe behave. A Pitlochry tartan in deep navy and forest tones with teal, mustard, cream and fine warm accents running through the check. It has that proper Scottish wool feel and look, with the colour depth you only get when the fibre is doing the heavy lifting.

The cut is classic and beautifully wearable. A high waist with a structured waistband, then a clean A-line fall with crisp pleats that create movement without bulk. The pleats add swish and give the silhouette shape as you walk, while the waist stays defined and comfortable. It is also fully lined, so it slips on easily and sits smoothly over hosiery.

Styling wise, this one is a workhorse with personality. Pair it with a fitted knit or a simple tee tucked in to let the waistline shine. Add loafers or boots for everyday polish, or go full winter heroine with tights, a fine roll neck and a tailored coat. For a softer contrast, try it with a creamy blouse and a vintage brooch at the collar. The tartan does not need much help, it just needs good basics and a confident stride.

Olive Green Textured Shift Dress with Asymmetric Collar

$99.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Sophistication doesn't always need to announce itself. This authentic vintage dress from the 1980s - 1990s understands restraint.

Crafted in olive green cotton blend easy care fabric with a subtle textured pattern throughout, the dress catches light quietly. The real design moment is at the neckline: an asymmetric collar detail wraps across one shoulder and fastens with a single button, creating architectural interest without fuss. It's the kind of detail that makes people look twice.

Long sleeves finish with button-tab cuffs, a tailored touch that adds polish. The fitted silhouette skims the body in a flattering shape and the centre back split for ease of movement. This cut works beautifully whether you carry more fullness through the bust and shoulders or through the hips and thighs, the straight lines will create elegant proportion.

Pair it with boots and a structured bag for work, or add statement earrings and heels for evening. The olive green works across seasons, equally at home with autumn tones or spring neutrals.

Timeless, wearable, endlessly versatile. The kind of dress that earns its place in your wardrobe.

DESIGNER INFORMATION: From the designers," This dress is the 'Mary-Jane' from our 'Ma Fetiche' Winter 2009 collection inspired by shoes. It included beautiful pieces with names like Brogues skirt, Stiletto strides, Slingback dress, Clog jacket, Loafer shorts & so on... and of course the Mary-Jane dress which came in olive & burgundy colourways. A lovely slightly quirky collection. Looking back it was kinda early 'Andy Warhol' culture! We hope it finds another good home & continues to be loved & enjoyed for many more years Jill+Ange

Painted Bird has an array of garments we consider 'chinoiserie' from a number of Asian countries but for purposes of website search - we offer as one collection. We believe they are all beautiful, unique and wearable art for the now. Fashion designers have repeated these designs over a variety of eras. Enjoy!

Thornton Hall 1960s Magenta Paisley Panel Wool Knit Jacket

Thornton Hall 1960s Magenta Paisley Panel Wool Knit Jacket

$189.00 $89.00 Save $100.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Two fabrics, completely different in character, have been cut and assembled into something sensational. The upper body, collar, sleeves and hem band are solid magenta in a firm wool-rich blend knit with real substance and warmth. Triangular panels at the chest and a wide horizontal panel across the upper back are cut from a dense jacquard knit in cream and deep plum, carrying a bold scrolling paisley that almost mimics carved stonework from a distance and reveals its detail up close.

Through the shoulder and upper chest the solid magenta panels give good definition and width without bulk. This is a rescue piece with several areas of concern as shown, making it an ideal candidate for a skilled reworker or someone who wants a statement jacket project. Worn with character, or reworked into something that will last another thirty years.

Cavalier Shirtmakers 1970s Cobalt Blue Orange Button Long Sleeve Shirt

Cavalier Shirtmakers 1970s Cobalt Blue Orange Button Long Sleeve Shirt

$89.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

A cobalt blue that shifts toward indigo depending on the light, the easy care blend fabric has a fine slubbed texture running through it, giving the surface a subtle visual movement. Then there are those buttons: bold, glossy orange resin against all that blue, with red topstitching running the length of the front placket and tracing the collar points and cuffs.

The shirt cuts a fitted, elongated line through the body, falling to the hip that works tucked into a high-waisted skirt or left loose over slim trousers. The pointed collar frames the face and neck without overwhelming a narrower shoulder line, and those long sleeves with their neat buttoned cuffs keep the look svelte. Tuck the front only, leave the back out, and you've got one of the most effortless silhouettes in the wardrobe.

Vintage Clothing - HANDBAG TEMPLATE 1950 - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Handbag

Authentic Vintage Cerulean Teal Blue Easy Care A-Line Midi Skirt

$89.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

That colour. A vivid, clear cerulean teal that looks wonderful against every skin tone and moves through every season of a wardrobe with complete ease. The skirt is cut from a fitted waist into a fluid A-line that swings beautifully through the midi length. The easy care fabric has a slight sheen and a soft drape that gives it a polished, easy quality. Side button and original zip closure, clean waistband.

Tuck in a fine-knit ivory or cream top and add tan heeled sandals for a summer lunch. A burnt orange or terracotta blouse tucked in creates a pairing that feels warm and considered. Try a crisp white fitted blazer over a simple black tee for something more structured. For cooler days, a camel or mustard knit tucked in works beautifully and grounds the colour without dulling it. The A-line cut moves away from the waist with ease, which suits those who carry more volume through the hip and thigh and want a clean, balanced line to the hem. For those who are more evenly proportioned, it adds movement and colour to the wardrobe in equal measure.

Chevron Stripe 1970s Wool Full Skirt

$129.00 $89.00 Save $40.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

There is warmth in this wool skirt, its chevron stripes moving between camel, chocolate and cream in a diagonal pattern that shifts direction at the centre front and back. The waistband sits high and fastens with a single button and zip while the body gathers generously below for a soft, swishing fullness through the hem. The wool has a brushed, slightly fuzzy hand that holds warmth well, and the chevron stripes are cut to align cleanly at the centre seams for a considered finish.

This skirt sits at the natural waist and releases into a full, floating panelled silhouette that skims over the hip and moves freely through the leg, offering plenty of room. The high contrast stripe pattern draws the eye outward and adds visual interest through movement. Pair with a fitted knit or blouse tucked in to let the fullness of the skirt take centre stage.

Vintage Clothing - Stax NZ Black Polished Cotton Tailored Knee Length Rosette Jacket - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Coats & Jackets

Stax NZ Black Polished Cotton Tailored Knee Length Rosette Jacket

$99.00 $89.00 Save $10.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Here's a great piece of New Zealand fashion history in this polished cotton black with a stunning slick, light-catching finish jacket. The neckline is the star: a cascade of sculpted rosettes and pleated trim that frames the face beautifully, then drops into a clean, tailored line through the body.

It sits fitted through the shoulders and waist, then skims to the knee for an elegant, elongating silhouette. Easy to dress up simple denim, sharpen a slip dress, or add a bit of drama to a plain skirt without the need for any extra accessories. Perfect for a wedding or event to elevate a simple outfit!

Try it with wide-leg trousers and a crisp white tee, adding silver loafers. Or go full colour-contrast: a white silk camisole underneath with emerald trousers. For evening, layer it over a fuchsia slip dress and add gold earrings and metallic heels.

History: The word chinoiserie /ʃɪnˈwɑːzəri/ comes from the French term Chinois which translates as Chinese or, after the Chinese taste (as in style). Chinoiseries means a Western or, European interpretation of an Asian style and may not an necessarily be of an actual Asian design. Painted Bird has an array of garments we consider 'chinoiserie' from a number of Asian countries but for purposes of website search - we offer as one collection. We believe they are all beautiful, unique and wearable art for the now. Fashion designers have repeated these designs over a variety of eras. Enjoy!

Vintage Clothing - 1970s Diamond Cut Teal Nightgown 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Lingerie

1970s Diamond Cut Teal Nightgown

$89.00 $69.00 Save $20.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This authentic 1970s nightgown by Diamond Cut is pure after-dark elegance, the kind that makes even a glass of water feel like a martini. Cut in silky nylon with a rich teal-green sheen, it skims the body in a long, fluid line that feels glamorous without feeling fussy.

The star detail is the dramatic V-shaped sheer mesh yoke, edged neatly at the neckline and echoed on the back for a beautifully balanced finish. The mesh has a subtle diamond-dot pattern that reads like vintage couture lingerie design, and the floral appliqué at centre front adds a soft romantic note without tipping into sweetness overload. Long sleeves keep the look sleek and refined, while the floor-length column shape celebrates your natural silhouette, moving with you rather than fighting you.

Designed as luxury sleepwear, it also has real the ... midnight at a coastal hotel look-potential you could easily style for an evening out. Add a simple slip underneath, a sculptural earring, and let the neckline do the talking. Phwoar!

Vintage Clothing - 1990s Hookahey Teal Space Dye Mod Revival Dress 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

1990s Hookahey Teal Space Dye Mod Revival Dress

$69.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This dress by the label Hookahey is a fantastic example of the 1990s mod revival aesthetic. It channels the spirit of the sixties through a distinctly nineties lens, featuring a fine knit in a vibrant 'space dye' horizontal stripe of seafoam, teal, and cerulean blue.

The silhouette is fitted and flattering, skimming the body to create a sleek line. The design features charming cap sleeves and a classic boat neckline. The standout details are the decorative bands at the hip, outlined in bold black piping and finished with button accents. These faux-pocket details add graphic structure and define the waistline without adding bulk.

This is a versatile piece of retrospective fashion history. Wear it with chunky boots to lean into the grunge-era roots, or pair it with simple slides for a fresh look. It is comfortable, characterful, and effortlessly cool.

Vintage Clothing - Kenna Peacock Jacquard Espadrille Mule Slides 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Shoes

Kenna Peacock Jacquard Espadrille Mule Slides

$69.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

These Kenna slip-on espadrille mules are a little bit Riviera, a little bit rock star dressing gown, and completely ready to elevate the most basic outfit.

The upper is a peacock-inspired jacquard in deep navy, teal, and antique gold, woven with that “look closer” texture that catches light as you move. The classic espadrille jute edge keeps things grounded and summer-appropriate, while the mule shape makes them an easy on-and-off hero for days when you want polish without the fuss.

Wear them with linen, crisp cotton, or a simple black dress and let the shoes do the storytelling. They also look excellent with denim and a white shirt when you want a quiet statement rather than a shout.

Vintage Clothing - Etam Pop Bloom Mini Skirt - STYLIST COLLECTION - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Skirt

Etam Pop Bloom Mini Skirt - STYLIST COLLECTION

$69.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This authentic vintage Etam skirt is pure 1990s colour confidence, the kind that makes a simple outfit look instantly considered. A graphic green base is dotted with chartreuse blooms in a playful grid, finished with hot pink piping at the waistband and two statement buttons that feel like a little wink from the era. The shape is a clean A-line mini with a structured waistband, so it sits neatly and keeps its line, which is exactly why these vintage cuts still feel so sharp today.

Style it with a crisp white tee and loafers for modern French-girl ease, or go full weekend with a fine knit camisole and trainers, then add a blazer when you want a bit more polish. The high waist is especially flattering if you like definition through your middle, or if you are a bit fuller through the bottom half than the top half and want a skirt that skims without clinging. It also works beautifully if you are broader through the shoulders or bust, because the strong waistband creates balance and gives your outfit a clear shape. This is one of those rare, cheerful pieces that does not try too hard, it just shows up and makes everything else look better.
