Are you off to the ˜Goodwood Revival” and need a period outfit to wear? Well you’ve certainly come to the right place!

So what do we have to offer? It’s difficult to say at any one time as our stock is constantly changing and there will always be a couple of items out on hire somewhere. It is therefore best to have a think about what style takes your fancy before you start looking. If you have no preferences, then go ahead and browse our pages. To get you started, look at the frocks on this page being shown off at Goodwood itself. Do you like any of the styles here but would like to see more? Well take a look at our gallery pages to see if anything takes your fancy. The Gallery links are to the left of this text. For more details on any of the items shown, please email us.

Don’t forget that we offer advice on fit and sizing as well as our current hire rates, once again on the links in the left hand column.


	Although it would be nice to show pictures of ALL the garments that have made it to this famous event, I must be grateful of the few we have to show here. Details of each one is given alongside for your reference.

	And now for a few more ‘veterans of the ’Goodwood Revival’, all sadly without photographic evidence of their adventure!



		(20) A cute little number originating from New Zealand, from the late 50s or very early 60s. A typical ‘sailor’ type colouration sporting a navy blue top with white buttons and piping, paired to a swingy little white pleated skirt.

(57) A simply adorable little frock with a muted red/orange check on taupe with a full-circle skirt. The age once again is from the late 50’s or the early 60’s. Shown here with a matching cap belonging to the model, plus a period camera belonging to the studio. A period elasticated belts with metal buckle from our belts collection completes the look.

		(67) This little school-skirt has somehow survived all these years and in all honesty could even be worn out somewhere for ’smart’ if paired to a nice blouse and / or jacket although this is never likely to happen now. Is it really a school skirt? It most definitely is, but in those days (this is a mid. 60’s item) the cut was quite different to today’s schoolwear, something that can easily be identified if placed side by side with a modern variant. Substitute those rather super high heels for something a bit more conservative, add a period blazer and you have great 50’s 60’s schoolgirl look just like when it visited Goodwood in 2008.

(65) right and (66) far right.

These two could be almost be twins although the styling is slightly different with each one. Here we have two classic late 50’s house / day dresses. Note the light crinoline under the green one to the right to give the skirt some more flare. Simply perfect authenticity, especially if paired to a button thru’ cardi. The pink one has a matching fabric belt and neck-scarf, neither of which are shown here.

		A very pretty frock from the 70’, yet a perfect 50’s substitute. Made from a light and floaty dark blue georgette material.The dress also comes with a cute little matching jacket. It is seen here being worn with two of our period belts Note also that the model to the right is wearing it with a crinoline.
