Scott Adie Ltd 1960s Tartan Pleated Wrap Kilt Skirt

Scott Adie Ltd 1960s Tartan Pleated Wrap Kilt Skirt

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This skirt is pleated in a green, blue and black tartan wool, with knife pleats that hold their shape crisply throughout. Two leather straps with silver buckles fasten at the waist, and the front overlay finishes in a raw, fringed edge rather than a hemmed seam. The skirt falls just below the knee in a straight, A-line line through the body. That leather strap and buckle fastening, paired with the crisp pleating, is a familiar marker of tartan kilt skirts through the 1960s.

If you love a fitted, straight through the waist silhouette, this skirt is perfect. Wear it with a simple black turtleneck and knee boots for an easy classic look, or pair with a cream blouse for something softer.

A survivor from the golden era of American air travel, this Delta Signature Series blouse captures the polished optimism of mid-1980s airline.

The structured collar frames the neckline beautifully and balances proportions with a crisp tailored line.

French Abstract Botanical Print Blouse

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This charming French blouse carries the easy elegance of mid-century day dressing, rendered in a softly structured wash-and-wear fabric designed for effortless practicality. Its botanical print combines deep navy, ivory and warm ochre tones in an expressive abstract arrangement that feels both artistic and timeless.

Vintage Clothing - Delightful Authentic Vintage Derek Clothes New Zealand Periwinkle Blue Ultrasuede-Feel Belted Shirt Dress - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Delightful Authentic Vintage Derek Clothes New Zealand Periwinkle Blue Ultrasuede-Feel Belted Shirt Dress

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Derek Clothes. Made in New Zealand. A label that dressed New Zealand women with quiet confidence through the 1960s and 1970s, and this dress is a perfect example of why. The fabric is the first thing you notice. Soft and suede-like in feel, with a fine nap and a subtle texture that sits somewhere between ultrasuede and a brushed easy care blend. The colour is a gorgoeus grey/periwinkle blue that holds beautifully in natural light. The dress has a neat shirt collar, a button front placket, short cap sleeves, side seam pockets and comes with its original matching belt, which cinches the waist with a simple buckle closure.

The silhouette is straight and relaxed through the body, falling to just below the knee. Wear it belted with tan leather ankle boots and a warm amber necklace for a weekday look. Swap in heeled sandals in cognac or gold for a Friday evening. Try a bold orange or cherry red belt in place of the original for a colour contrast that pops against the blue. A crisp white blazer thrown over the top takes it somewhere more structured when the occasion calls for it. This dress works particularly well if you are fairly even through the bust and hip, as the straight silhouette follows the body evenly from shoulder to hem. Worn belted, it defines the waist beautifully for those who like a defined middle. Worn without the belt, it skims through the body and suits those who prefer a relaxed, unstructured line. The sleeve sits close to the shoulder and gives the look a clean, unfussy finish.

Canterbury New Zealand 1970s Bold Geometric Block Print Short Sleeve Blouse

Canterbury New Zealand 1970s Bold Geometric Block Print Short Sleeve Blouse

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Cobalt, crimson and warm sand colours collide across this extraordinary authentic vintage blouse in a graphic block print. Made in New Zealand under the Canterbury label, this piece captures the full chromatic confidence of mid-century design with the interlocking rectangles and curved stripe detailing read almost architectural, their bold geometry balanced by the smooth, easy-care knit fabric that holds the print with razor-sharp clarity. Short set-in sleeves, a wide pointed collar with serious 1970s presence, and a neat button-through front placket complete a silhouette that is entirely of its era and completely wearable right now.

The gently fitted body of the shirt skims down your frame, making it flattering across a range of proportions. The straight hem sits at the hip and works equally beautifully tucked into high-waisted tailored trousers, low slung denim or a sleek black midi skirt, letting the print take all the visuals from the waist up. The vertical line elements within the print naturally draw the eye upward and elongate the torso, while the wide collar frames the shoulders and décolletage with real flair. Style it simply: this blouse needs nothing but confidence and a big cheesy grin.

Lily 1970s Navy Embroidered Folk Floral Long Sleeve Blouse

Lily 1970s Navy Embroidered Folk Floral Long Sleeve Blouse

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

What a find. This authentic vintage blouse is at least 50 years young from the well known label 'Lily'. Delightful in a deep navy scattered with hand-style embroidered floral posies in red, pink, yellow and white, framed by the most wonderful red and diamond-pattern woven trim that runs the neckline, front placket, cuffs and hem. It has a distinctly folk-inspired feel, somewhere between a European peasant blouse and a 1970s boho boutique find, with long sleeves, a relaxed open neckline and decorative trim. The fabric is a blend of cotton, polyester and viscose that holds its shape beautifully and has kept the embroidery vivid across decades.

The relaxed, straight cut of this blouse skims the body without defining it too closely, making it genuinely comfortable and easy to wear across a range of proportions. The open neckline keeps things light and draws the eye upward, while the vertical front placket trim naturally lengthens the torso. It tucks neatly into denim or a floaty midi skirt. Or, wear it loose over slim tailored trousers for an effortless weekend look.

Cobalt Blue Wool Silk Tie-Dye Trim Pencil Skirt

Cobalt Blue Wool Silk Tie-Dye Trim Pencil Skirt

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

That cobalt stops you. A rich, slightly heathered blue that only comes from quality wool blended with silk, the kind of fabric that holds its shape across decades without losing its softness. The body of this skirt is structured and smooth, weighted beautifully at the hip with a quiet authority. The real story is in the detail: three diagonal silk ribbon trims sweep across the front hip yoke in what looks to be hand-dyed terracotta, amber, teal and rose, each one a small colourful joy and stroke against that deep blue ground. Below the yoke, a cascade of tiered silk ruffle in the same tie-dye palette erupts from the side seam, bold and entirely unexpected against an otherwise tailored silhouette.

The pencil cut is fitted through the waist, hip and thigh, creating a clean line that elongates beautifully. The partially elasticated waist sits at the natural waist without pulling or pinching, making this genuinely comfortable to wear all day. Those diagonal trims draw the eye across the hip rather than straight across it, which distributes visual weight with real cleverness.

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!

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!

This fun and flirty The Bird Adventure dress is in excellent condition. The fabric offers a pretty nod to the novelty fabrics of the 1950's and is a great example of the timelessness and beauty of vintage fashion silhouettes!

The style and fit ensure this is a 'keeper' for the long haul. Flattering the body and easy to dress up or down. This dress is a winner with flats in summer or boots in winter!
