Dorothy's Wardrobe opening

As the new vintage shop Dorothy's Wardrobe was opening this week, it was on the top of our lists to attend. Filled with beautiful vintage threads, it was inevitable that Jessica and I were to find something that we would automatically fall in love with. 
I have taken some photos of the shop, but as the unlucky person that I am, my camera decided to run out of battery on me. But thankfully, looking at the photo's now, they turned out OK! 

Now the Dorothy's Wardrobe shop of officially open, you can now experience it for yourself! at:

Hopkinson Gallery

Rainforests play a vital role in maintaining a stable global climate which is a continuous battle; therefore Vivienne Westwood and Marie Claire have teamed up to create a limited edition T-shirt dress exclusively for Marie Claire international readers.  This eco friendly T-shirt dress does not only exude empowerment, but all proceeds from the sale of the T-shirt dress will support the forest tribes in Bangladesh, whose lives and livelihoods have been endangered by deforestation. 2011 has been declared the international year of forests by the UN General Assembly in the hope that awareness may be raised, and people become more aware of their importance in the world. so wear with pride.

This global collaboration will combine the sale of the T-shirt dress with a special Rainforest editorial section, Guest Editor, Vivienne Westwood, which will be published in 24 editions of Marie Claire from May 2011. 

The Fair Trade organisation People Tree has partnered with Vivienne Westwood and Marie Claire to make the T-shirt dress available on-line. People Tree only uses 100% organic fair trade cotton and all their clothes are made by hand completely, helping to create livelihoods for disadvantaged groups in Bangladesh, India and Nepal. So please show your support and buy this Vivienne Westwood Limited Edition T-shirt dress for only £28 from www.peopletree.co.uk and £7 from each sale will help support Forest Tribes.Make the world know that things need to change and fast.

The Vintage Fair

Having The Vintage Fair visit Nottingham is always a delight. With a selection of different styles from a varied amount of eras it is inevitable that you will find something that you will fall in love with. 

As the bargain hunter I am, I came across this beautiful 1950's polka dot skirt. For only £14 from a stall named 'Trilbies & Tassels' I couldn't resist. 

Jessica and I have also set up a blog for a soon-to-be store 'Dorothy's Wardrobe'. We will be writing the happenings of what goes on within the store and also when the opening date is so you can have a look for yourself. 

Dorothy's Wardrobe was also a part of The Vintage Fair this weekend: previewing what will be in the store, gave vintage-lovers what is to be expected. From handmade Jewellery to tea cup candles- and also not mentioning the gorgeous selection of vintage clothing, Dorothy's Wardrobe looks pretty good from what I saw at the weekend. 

Handmade jewellery is also a part of the Dorothy's Wardrobe list, as its uniqueness and delicateness. Each piece is uniquely made which would bring something different to any outfit. 

There was also a lovely collection of vintage handbags, each reasonably priced, it makes your mind up for you whether to purchase or not. 

We will keep you posted on the happenings of Dorothy's Wardrobe via our Dorothy's Wardrobe blog:
