The Sun Lounger

 
Wowsers! The fine folk over at Puttin' on the Ritz have really outdone themselves this time! Ladies, I am proud as punch to  present to you the Sun Lounger, a cute as a button 1940s playsuit from Puttin on the Ritz. 
As always, tailor made lovingly from a vintage pattern




Ok, so there wasn't much sun, but I did do a small amount of lounging for this shoot. I am modelling the cherry on vanilla cotton version, but it's also available in plain coloured cotton...and maybe even some polka dots!













I adore the ruffled shoulders on the cropped blouse. The square neck is so flattering too



I teamed mine with bamboo bangles, and felt right at home in this beautiful bamboo garden 




At £65, this tailor made playsuit is a steal. I'm sure there are a few more hot days left of this British Summer, and I will definitely be stepping out in my Sun Lounger


Happy Birthday Puttin' on the Ritz!

To celebrate the 1st Birthday of this fine shop, Puttin on the Ritz are giving away one of their Lady Swinburn brown faux mink stoles.





Many thanks once again to the handsome Hanson Leatherby for his wonderful achievements in the field of photographing me

  4. Wow, I hadn't heard of them yet but you've definitely put them on my radar! Their stuff is lovely. You look great in that playsuit! I particularly love the 5th pic down from the top, you look like you're posing for a jungle-themed movie poster. :)

  6. Oh superb! You look fabulously pin-up-worthy.

    I am just tentatively edging into the world of playsuits, being related as they are to shorts, which fill me with terror due to my stumpy ole legs. I must be brave, I am sure it's nothing a pair of sky-high wedges can't cure (and a few margeritas for bravery ha ha).
