This piece of New Zealand fashion history by London Affair is a joyful masterclass in tailoring. Crafted right here in Aotearoa during the 1970s, it features a textured tartan weave in a striking palette of emerald, royal blue, and red against a dark base. The fabric has a tactile richness that feels both cosy and refined.

The silhouette is classic and flattering. Structured shoulders provide a strong frame that helps balance the hips, while the single-breasted cut keeps the front line clean. A delightful buttoned half-belt at the back waist offers subtle definition to ensure the fit never feels boxy.

It is a versatile jacket for the modern wardrobe. Wear it over a simple monnochrome blouse and bottom set for a sharp office look, or pair it with vintage denim and boots for weekend outings. This is sustainable style with local provenance. It is a vibrant layer that proves impeccable construction and bold design are timeless.

Vintage Clothing - Midnight Sparkle 1960s Shift Dress - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Midnight Sparkle 1960s Shift Dress

$169.00 $149.00 Save $20.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

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.

Vintage Clothing - Gerber Exclusiv Metallic Lamé Pleated Cocktail Dress 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Gerber Exclusiv Metallic Lamé Pleated Cocktail Dress

$229.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Some dresses arrive with their own light source. This authentic vintage piece from German designer, Gerber Exclusiv Hamburg is one of them.

Crafted in metallic lamé with a viscose base, the fabric shimmers with every movement. An impressionistic pattern flows across the surface in jewel tones: emerald green, gold, rust, turquoise, and coral blend together like an abstract painting. The metallic finish catches light beautifully, transforming throughout the day from subtle gleam to full radiance.

The silhouette is pure elegance. A sleeveless bodice with a round neckline sits close to the body before gathering at the natural waist, creating a gentle blouson effect. Below, an accordion-pleated skirt fans out in glorious fullness, the fine pleating adding texture and movement. This shape works beautifully across different body types: the fitted bodice defines the waist, while the pleated skirt balances proportions whether you carry more fullness through the bust and shoulders or through the hips and thighs.

German craftsmanship at its finest. Gerber Exclusiv Hamburg was known for exceptional fabrics and construction, and this dress delivers both. The pleating is permanent-set, a technical achievement that ensures the skirt maintains its sculptural form.

Cocktail dressing with presence. Pair it with your favourite heels and minimal jewellery to let the fabric take centre stage.

Vintage Clothing - Italian Kelly Green Ruffle-Placket Blouse - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Blouse

Italian Kelly Green Ruffle-Placket Blouse

$130.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

If your wardrobe loves a little colour with good manners, this one is calling your name. This Italian blouse comes in a vivid kelly green with a smooth, satin-like finish that catches the light beautifully. The shape is softly easy through the body with short sleeves, so it feels polished without feeling fussy. The rounded neckline is finished with a neat trim and a sweet front tie, while the centre front features a pleated and ruffled placket that gives instant interest and a flattering vertical line.

Around the back, it fastens with a button-through closure using small, light-coloured buttons, which keeps the front clean and lets the detailing do the talking. The overall design nods to late 1960s into 1970s Italian boutique styling, where a blouse could be both practical and a little bit showy in the best way.

Style it tucked into a high-waisted pencil skirt for confident, body-celebrating shape, or wear it with tailored trousers and a simple heel for effortless 'I have taste' energy. Add a gold hoop or a crisp red lip if you feel like turning the dial up.

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!

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.
