Vintage Clothing - 1960s Jennifer Dean Boutique Sunrise Wool Shift Dress 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

1960s Jennifer Dean Boutique Sunrise Wool Shift Dress

$169.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This one is pure 1960s confidence. Clean lines, an uncomplicated silhouette, and then that hit of colour at the hem like a little private sunrise you carry through the day.

Made by Jennifer Dean, this authentic vintage mini shift keeps the shape classic with a scoop neckline and sleeveless cut that lets your shoulders and arms do their thing. The fabric has that soft, felted wool feel, giving the dress a beautiful structure without turning stiff. It skims rather than clings, and the gentle A-line makes movement easy.

The showstopper is the bold sunrise appliqué at the lower side, with deep burgundy tones and a bright yellow arc, finished with stitched rays. It is graphic, mod, and surprisingly wearable. The kind of detail that makes people ask, “Where did you find that?” - Make sure you tell them at Painted Bird Vintage!

Fit-wise, this is a dream for anyone who loves a streamlined silhouette that still gives breathing room. It works on a range of proportions because the shape is intentional: tidy at the top, relaxed through the body, and polished all the way down.

Style it and layer with a simple blouse or 'T' underneath adding opaque tights and boots or loafers for weekday sharpness. Or, bare legs and flats when the weather plays nice. Add a cropped jacket, or let it stand alone and do the talking.

This is good fashion with a backstory, and a rare slice of boutique Auckland design history.

HISTORY: Jennifer Dean Boutique Ltd (Auckland, New Zealand) was part of the mid-century boutique wave that grew in Auckland during the 1960s, when small local fashion businesses produced short-run garments for a city clientele seeking modern, international-looking style. Boutique labels like this typically offered limited production and more personalised service than department stores, helping shape an early New Zealand designer retail scene before mass import fashion became dominant.. More information about the label can be found at New Zealand Fashion Museum.

Vintage Clothing - 1970s Patricia Geometric Jacquard Jacket 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Coats & Jackets

1970s Patricia Geometric Jacquard Jacket

$159.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This striking jacket by New Zealand label Patricia is a testament to the adventurous textile design of the 1970s. It features an intricate geometric jacquard weave in verdant green and earthy beige, sparked with subtle metallic threads that catch the light without overpowering the eye.

The silhouette is elegantly streamlined. A collarless round neckline and button-down front create a clean vertical line, while the gently puffed shoulders and nipped waist offer a sharp, feminine profile. Contrasting black trim at the hip pockets adds a grounding detail to the complex pattern.

This piece is a structural dream for defining the waist. The longline cut skims the hips to elongate the torso. It is versatile enough to wear as a statement top buttoned fully or open as a jacket.

Style it with wide-leg wool trousers for a texture-rich winter look. Alternatively, pair it with dark denim and boots to bring a touch of vintage luxury to the weekend. This is a locally made treasure that combines bold design with enduring wearability.

Vintage Clothing - 1970s Sage Green Utility Shirt Jacket 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Shirts & Tops

1970s Sage Green Utility Shirt Jacket

$139.00 $129.00 Save $10.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Some pieces do the most while looking like they are doing the least. This authentic 1970s shirt jacket has that quietly capable energy, tailored enough to feel polished, relaxed enough to wear like a second skin. The colour is a soft sage green, the kind that plays nicely with everything from inky denim to winter white, and still looks elevated next to black.

The silhouette sits in that sweet spot between shirt and jacket. It has a crisp collar and a clean button-through front, with a longer line that skims over the hips for an easy, flattering shape. The clever detail is in the structure: subtle vertical panel lines and oversized patch pockets create definition without stiffness, and the back waist tab lets you cinch the silhouette in or wear it looser depending on your mood and layering.

This is a brilliant piece for building proportions. If you are broader through the shoulders, the open collar and long line create a balanced vertical. If you are fuller through the lower half, the length and gentle shaping glide over the hips without grabbing. If you love a waist moment, that back tab is your best friend, giving shape without a belt cutting you in half.

Wear it open over a simple slip dress. Button it up and treat it like a top with high-waisted trousers. Layer it under a wool coat in winter or throw it over a tee in early autumn. It is one of those reliable vintage pieces that quietly upgrades whatever it touches.

Vintage Clothing - 1970s Sage Green Jersey Maxi Dress 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

1970s Sage Green Jersey Maxi Dress

$189.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

There is a quiet sophistication to this 1970s maxi dress that feels incredibly modern. Rendered in a soft sage green that fades gently into a cream ombré hem, it captures the era's love for fluid lines and ethereal detail.

The fabric appears to be a fluid jersey, offering both comfort and a beautiful drape. The design features a high neckline with an attached tie detail to add a touch of structure without stiffness. Long, fitted sleeves and a matching belt create a long, lean silhouette.

The skirt is the true highlight. Constructed with clever panelling, it skims the hips before flaring out gently to create movement as you walk. This cut is brilliant for creating length. It defines the waist while gliding over the lower body, making it a flattering choice if you want to highlight your middle while keeping a relaxed line through the legs.

Wear it with knee-high leather boots for a grounded autumnal look, or switch to ankle booties or heels to elevate the effect for evening. This is effortless, comfortable glamour.

Vintage Clothing - Emerald Chinoiserie Silk Wadding Reversible Padded Jacket 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Coats & Jackets

Emerald Chinoiserie Silk Wadding Reversible Padded Jacket

$189.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This is the kind of piece that makes an outfit feel instantly intentional. A deep emerald green, lightly lustrous jacket with a traditional mandarin collar and classic knotted frog closures, finished with embroidered chrysanthemum blooms scattered like fireworks across a night garden.

The structure is wonderfully wearable. It has a clean, straight silhouette with enough ease through the body to layer over a fine knit or a crisp shirt. The padded quilting gives you that satisfying feel of warmth without being too bulky, and the black reversible interior means you can flip the mood entirely when you want something more understated.

The embroidery is the star. White, gold, and coppery tones pop against the green satin-like surface, and the texture play between smooth sheen and quilted stitching is pure vintage craftsmanship. It looks elevated with tailored trousers and loafers, and equally cool with denim and a simple tee.

This is a statement jacket that still behaves like a practical one. It is comfort, detail, and story in one wearable layer.

HISTORY: The word chinoiserie /ʃɪnˈwɑːzəri/ comes from the French term Chinois which translates as Chinese or, after the Chinese taste (as in style). Chinoiserie 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!

Emerald Rose Print Cotton Dress 1950s

$229.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Sometimes, a garment captures the very essence of a season. At least 70 years young, this authentic vintage dress is a masterclass in mid-century vibrancy. Crafted from crisp cotton sateen with a subtle sheen, the print is a joyful garden of red, pink, and blue roses set against a mottled emerald background.

The silhouette is the quintessential 'New Look' shape. A fitted bodice and wide portrait collar nip in at the waist before releasing into a full, pleated skirt. It is a structural dream for many shapes. The open neckline serves to balance a fuller bust or shoulders, while the generous skirt skims effortlessly over the hips and thighs to highlight the waist without clinging.

Add your own belt for for further definition as pictured. Pair with slides for a casual day look, or add a petticoat (pictured with and without) and red lip for evening drama. This is sustainable style at its most spirited. It is a piece of history proving quality and character never fade.

This authentic 1960s shift dress is a quiet showstopper. It is cut in a classic, clean-lined mini-length silhouette with long sleeves and a softly rounded neckline, then finished with a delicate scalloped white trim of faux pearls at the collar and cuffs for that looks perfectly polished. The fabric has a fine all-over green hued shimmer that reads like metallic thread woven through a deep navy base, a very era-true way of doing evening glamour without sequins or fuss.

A centre back zip is visible, keeping the front beautifully uninterrupted. The simplicity of the cut makes it a styling dream. Add a pearl clip-on, a sleek updo, and a kitten heel for dinner. Or, go modern with opaque tights and boots for winter events. This is vintage design doing what it does best: creating confidence through your silhouette, not clutter.

Vintage Clothing - Midnight Garden Floral Flutter Sleeve Maxi Dress - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Midnight Garden Floral Flutter Sleeve Maxi Dress

$199.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This is the kind of authentic vintage maxi that makes an entrance quietly, then keeps turning heads. A dark, inky base is scattered with painterly florals in lilac, peach, butter yellow and leafy greens, all floating through a sheer, lightweight outer layer that moves beautifully as you walk.

The neckline is a soft V with a shaped bust and a gentle seam line that gives definition without feeling fussy. Those double flutter sleeves are pure romance, giving airy coverage and gorgeous motion, with a silhouette that skims the body in that confidence-boosting way true vintage does so well.

The full length hem drifts and sways, making it perfect for garden weddings, candlelit dinners, or a 'just because it’s Tuesday' moment with whatever shoes or sandals meet your mood. Add a leather jacket in cooler months and make it transseasonal.

This dress carries a clear 1970s mood through the maxi length, floaty fabrication and flutter sleeve construction.

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.

Vintage Clothing - Emerald Green 1960s Vest with Silver Buttons - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Vest

Emerald Green 1960s Vest with Silver Buttons

$135.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

The art of layering begins here. This authentic vintage gillet proves that the simplest pieces often work the hardest.

Crafted in emerald green easy care fabric with a subtle texture, the fabric has weight and presence without bulk. The sleeveless design creates a clean vertical line, while the open front allows for endless styling possibilities. A deep V-neckline elongates the torso beautifully, flattering whether you carry more fullness through the bust or prefer a more streamlined silhouette.

The A-line cut gently skims away from the body, creating elegant movement and balance. If you have broader shoulders or a fuller bust, the open front and V-neck draw the eye down rather than across. If you carry more through the hips and thighs, the longer length and A-line shape provide graceful coverage while maintaining proportion.

Silver button detailing on the front hip pockets adds a touch of polish, three on each side catching light with every step. Construction is impeccable, with clean seaming and a structured shoulder line that holds its shape.

Layer it over high neck light sweaters and blouses for cooler months, or wear it as a statement piece over silk camisoles or slip dresses for evening. This is the kind of vest that builds a wardrobe. Timeless, versatile, endlessly wearable.

Vintage Clothing - Green Prism Collar Dress - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Green Prism Collar Dress

$199.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This authentic vintage dress has that unmistakable 1970s attitude: a clean, sleek green bodice with an exaggerated pointed collar in a vivid geometric print, then a matching printed skirt that brings the movement. The collar length and shape are a big clue to the era, and the neat front button placket adds to that tailored, daytime to dinner polish that seventies dressing did so well.

Construction wise, the silhouette is built through shaping seams and a defined join where the skirt is set in, giving structure up top and an easy swish below. The crisp collar suggests interfacing for that sharp line, and the colour matched buttons keep the look intentional rather than fussy.

Let the collar be your jewellery and keep the neckline clear, then choose a simple sandal for day or a heeled mule for evening. If you are a bit fuller on your bottom half than your top half, the bold collar visually balances the look beautifully, while the skirt does its job with confidence and ease.

You wont find another with this sensational swish!

Vintage Clothing - Emerald Burnout Velvet Cocktail Dress - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Emerald Burnout Velvet Cocktail Dress

$189.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This authentic vintage dress likely crafted in the 1960s is made in a burnout velvet style, a labour-intensive technique where the pile is chemically etched away to create pattern through texture. The result is pure theatre: rich emerald velvet flowers emerge against sheer organza, the interplay of opacity and light creating depth with every movement. This is mid-century craftsmanship at its most luxurious.

The silhouette is elegantly understated. A fitted bodice with a flattering V-neckline draws the eye to the collarbone and décolletage, while short cap sleeves provide coverage without bulk. The self-tie belt cinches at the natural waist with the column skirt skimming the body gracefully, balancing proportions whether you carry more fullness through the bust and shoulders or through the hips and thighs.

Construction speaks to quality. A concealed back zipper, careful seaming, and high end-finishing details throughout confirm this dress was made to last.

Style it with your favourite black court shoes and simple jewellery for cocktails, or add a silk clutch and statement earrings for evening events. The burnout velvet catches candlelight beautifully, making this the dress for after-dark occasions.

Investment dressing with presence. A piece that commands attention and never apologises for it.

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.

Vintage Clothing - Emerald Diamante Column Dress 1960s - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Emerald Diamante Column Dress 1960s

$210.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Some colours demand to be noticed. Crafted in mid-weight emerald green cotton with delicate eyelet detailing throughout, the fabric catches light with subtle texture and breathability. The all-over pattern is a signature detail of quality dressmaking, when embellishment was woven into the cloth itself.

A gently relaxed, yet tailored bodice with short sleeves creates ease through the shoulders, while the column shape skims the body without clinging. The self-tie belt cinches at the natural waist, offering you control over definition and fit. The straight cut balances proportions whether you carry more fullness through the bust and shoulders or through the hips and thighs, the uninterrupted vertical line creates an elegant length.

Construction is clean and considered. A centre back seam, revovable belt and quality stitching speak to an era when garments were made to endure.

This colour works hard across seasons. Wear it with tan sandals and our Cane Like Clutch Handbag for summer, or layer with a fine knit cardigan and boots for cooler days. The emerald green pairs beautifully with both gold or silver jewellery and warm timber tones.

Investment dressing that transcends trend. Timeless silhouette, exceptional fabric, and a shade that never dates.

Vintage Clothing - Green Festival Stripe Maxi Dress 1970 - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Green Festival Stripe Maxi Dress 1970

$199.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This authentic vintage maxi is pure 1970s optimism in fabric form. The print is a brilliant mix of saturated greens with pops of violet, sunshine yellow and warm spice tones, arranged in graphic vertical panels that do what great vintage does best: create impact while quietly working in your favour. The neckline is a clean square, the straps are substantial and supportive, and the bodice has those thoughtful era details, including statement buttons and shaping through the torso, finishing in a sweeping skirt with a ruffled hem that moves like it has its own soundtrack.

Made in the 1970s, it has that wearable bohemian polish that feels just as right now with leather sandals and a basket bag (have you seen our Cane Like Clutch) as it does dressed up with a block heel and your favourite jewellery.

The vertical patterning is especially lovely if you like a lengthening line through the body, and it suits a range of proportions. If you are a bit fuller through the bottom half than the top half and want balance, or if you are broader through the shoulders or bust and like a neckline that frames that beautifully then this one's for you. Add a cropped denim jacket or a fine knit for cooler evenings, and let the dress do the heavy lifting while you simply show up and look unforgettable.

DESIGNER INFORMATION: With a bold spirit and a sharp eye for individuality, Isabel Haworth carved her place in New Zealand’s boutique fashion history when she opened Hadny 5 in 1964. Swapping mass production for one-off artistry, Isabel's silk dresses and hand-finished pieces offered wearers something rare: total exclusivity. Originally from Te Awamutu, she trained in Sydney before returning to New Zealand to pursue her own vision in creating striking, handcrafted garments from her lively Swanson Street boutique. With a flair for the romantic and an instinct for originality, Isabel’s work defined a new era of fashion for independent, style-conscious women of the 1960s and beyond.
