New Leaf California by Samir 1970s Purple Lurex Crochet-Waist Disco Dress

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Metallic threads move like candlelight across this fitted lurex bodice, catching purple and pink light with every step. The dress narrows through the waist and releases into a softly pleated skirt, anchored by what looks to be a hand-worked crochet medallion at one hip. A sheer pleated godet panel drops below the knee, letting the fabric fall and flutter rather than cling. Spaghetti straps and a centre back zip keep the silhouette clean, while the fine gauge weave gives the fabric real weight and drape despite its light, glimmering surface. Made in California under the New Leaf label, this piece carries the shimmer and shape of a night built for dancing.

The fitted bodice sits close through the ribcage and eases at the hip, so the crochet cutout lands right where movement happens, drawing the eye without pulling at the fabric. Because the piece runs petite through the bust and waist, it suits a smaller, compact frame best, though the flared, sheer hemmed skirt adds room to move without adding bulk at the middle. Wear it as intended for evenings that call for shine. Let The Aviary confirm the fit in person before you commit, this is a dress that rewards trying on.

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 - Dark Chambray - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Earrings

Authentic Vintage Mid Blue Cotton Chambray A-Line Midi Skirt

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This one has a detail that sets it apart from every other denim skirt you have ever owned. Two large patch pockets sit at the front hip, each finished with a bold red cross-stitch X that turns a simple utilitarian feature into something with real character.

The skirt is mid blue cotton chambray, cut from a fitted waist into a clean A-line that falls to midi length with easy, unhurried movement. The fabric has a smooth, slightly worn quality that makes it feel like a piece you have had forever. Back zip closure, clean waistband. Wear it with a fitted white or ivory blouse tucked in and tan leather loafers for something polished. A cherry red knit tucked in picks up the pocket stitching beautifully.

Try it with a striped Breton top and white sneakers for a weekend look, or a simple black fitted tee and hoop earrings for an evening that keeps things easy. The A-line cut suits those who carry more volume through the hip and thigh than the waist, skimming evenly from the waistband and creating a long balanced line to the hem. For those who are more evenly proportioned, it adds movement and ease without adding bulk. The midi length works well on all heights.|

Authentic Vintage Ice Blue Fit and Flare Party Dress

$149.00 $129.00 Save $20.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

At least 50 years young, this ice blue fit and flare dress is the kind of piece that makes you want to put on your best shoes and find somewhere wonderful to go. The colour is a soft, clear baby blue with a fine woven dot texture that catches the light with a gentle sheen. The bodice is carefully darted and seamed to create a close, considered fit through the bust and waist, finishing with a clean V neckline and broad shoulder straps. From the waist, the skirt releases into a full, sweeping circle that moves the way skirts from this era always did, with real volume and a life of its own. This is a dress that was made for dancing, and it shows.
The skirt has the kind of sweep that a dance floor demands, and the bodice is structured enough to hold everything in place while the skirt does exactly as it pleases.

Wear it to a garden wedding with strappy gold heeled sandals and pearl drop earrings. Try ivory kitten heels and a fine silver bracelet for a races day or a ball that feels genuinely special. For something more contemporary, pair it with white sneakers and a denim jacket for a styling contrast that feels fresh and considered. The ice blue of this dress works beautifully with rose gold jewellery, a bold fuchsia lip, or a clutch in deep emerald or coral.

This dress is made for a petite frame with a very small, defined waist and will look breathtaking on the right person. Is that you? ...

Authentic Vintage Duck Egg Blue Polka Dot Fit and Flare Dress | 1960s Easy Care Fabric Pussy Bow Neck Tie | Petite Size 4 - 8 | Painted Bird Vintage NZ

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

At least 50 years young, this duck egg blue polka dot dress is the sort of piece that stops you in your tracks and smile. White spots on a soft mid blue ground, long sleeves with a neat buttoned cuff, and a self-tie pussy bow at the neck that can be worn as a proper bow, loosely knotted or left to drape. It is a dress with personality built into every seam. The silhouette is a fitted bodice releasing into a full, gently flared skirt that moves beautifully. The waist is defined and the skirt has real sweep to it, the kind of shape that looks wonderful both standing still and walking into a room.

The fabric is an easy care blend with a slight sheen that gives the blue a warmth and depth in natural light. Long sleeves make this a dress that works across the seasons, as good in an autumn as it is on a spring afternoon. This dress is made for a petite frame with a very defined waist, and it will look extraordinary on the right person. Wear it with your favourite kitten heels in tan or cherry red and a small structured bag. Try white ankle boots for something that feels fresh and modern. For an evening occasion, silver strappy heels and a silver clutch make it feel genuinely special. The blue in this print also loves a pop of warm coral or a bold tangerine lip.

Vintage Clothing - BLUE 28 - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Vintage Blue Corded Silk Tailored Dress

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This exceptional vintage dress is all about line and colour with the pleasant surprise of pockets! That perfect, clear blue, the kind that emulates a polished without trying look. Combined with a tailored silhouette that just skims the body and keeps everything beautifully feminine.

The fabric has a subtle corded texture and a soft sheen that suggests silk, though the fibre content is unconfirmed. It closes with an original side zip, and inside you will spot generous seam allowance, which is always a good sign of quality construction and gives helpful wiggle room for careful alterations if needed.

Style it simply with a blazer and boots, or go full evening with statement jewellery and a sharp little clutch. If you want to play with colour, try citrus accessories for a modern pop, or keep it classic with pearl earrings and a lipstick-red bag.
