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!

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.

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.

Ice Blue Lavender Pearl Sequin Tulle Ball Gown

$289.00 $99.00 Save $190.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

A dreamlike heirloom quality gown in ethereal shades of ice blue, lavender, and pearl. This remarkable piece carries the romance of mid-century formal dressing, with a softly structured sequinned bodice flowing into cascading layers of airy tulle. Hand-finished floral appliqué trails across the skirt hem, creating movement that feels almost weightless with every step. The delicate shoulder draping and sweeping silhouette evoke the glamour of debutante balls and candlelit dance halls, while the iridescent sequins catch the light with a soft celestial shimmer.

Designed to create elegant balance through the shoulders and waist, the fitted bodice offers gentle structure through the bust while the full flowing skirt allows graceful movement through the hips and lower body. Ideal for milestone dressing, first balls, formal events, editorial styling, or collectors of fashion history. While wearable, this is a RESCUE/WOUNDED BIRD gown and is best suited to a careful owner who appreciates restoration and preservation. The visible wear only deepens the romance and secret stories of the piece, offering an opportunity for thoughtful repair and continued storytelling.

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.
