There is a new retro brand making waves with it's fabulous print and classic styles, Vixen by Micheline Pitt.Good things for bad girls is the strapline of the Vixen brand and that does sum it up well. Here are my first thoughts on the brand.
Micheline Pitt is the former designer of Deadly Dames for Pin Up Girl Clothing but she has branched out to create her own brand.
Vixen swing skirt in frisky fetish print
Featuring a custom designer novelty print of vintage inspired fetish print that pulls inspiration from some of the most iconic vintage fetish artists. This is definitely going to be the most naughty novelty print you will own (There was a Deer Arrow collaboration for this print and there is also pins).
This is the most fabulous full gathered skirt, it just falls perfectly and is wonderful for swirling in, it also has huge pockets, always a bonus. Made of heavy weight stretch Cotton Sateen, it feels like quality.
I got the 4x (i believe the size chart is very accurate) and it is a great fit. a little snug in the waist, but i think it will give a little and time and be perfect. The length is also good and comes past my knees.
Very limited stock on the site. Paired with my Primark feather shoes.
Vixen swing dress in lipstick print
The ultimate swing dress with another very full skirt. Made of the softest high quality Cotton/Spandex Stretch Sateen, it means it has some stretch and the 4x is a little big on me (not enough that i could size down). Featuring the original "Vixen" Lipstick print designed by Micheline Pitt. Features thick full doubled puff sleeves that can be worn up or down, they can be a bit overwhelming but don't be scared they are fab and they aren't tight on the arms . The bust features a tie that cinches the bust line giving it a flattering shape. Again the length on this is great and there is plenty of room for a petticoat underneath if you wanted extra puff (i'm not wearing one in any of those photos).
Available in the sale for £54
Thoughts
Well i've already placed my second order of a skirt, top and dress and am eagerly awaiting their arrival, so that should tell you that this is a brand i like and i'm excited for what what's next as Micheline has been dropping some hints about florals for Spring.
When at London Edge last week i saw quite a few girls wearing Vixen, so i think it is going to be popular, and things are already sold out on the website.
Where else can you buy Vixen?
This is an American based brand and obviously not everyone wants to buy from America with the high shipping and custom fess (however i find both to be pretty reasonable and she does good sales), so never fear, Vixen is stocked in a few other places:
- Unique Vintage - Yes this is also American, but might have better offers or sales, Micheline has also designed a range just for them (beware it runs at least 1 size small)
- Deadly is the female is the only UK stockist of Vixen and they do stock the fill size range
- Top Vintage is a Dutch brand that ships all over Europe (so no customs and reasonable shipping prices). However they only stock up to the 2xl at the moment
