⁣⁣⁣
Made in the new Rayon Georgette fabric which comes with an underslip enclosed. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
There is no stretch in the Rayon Georgette fabric so if you're in between sizes we recommend opting for the larger.

For products made in the Rayon Crepe fabric SOB suggest you care for the garment in the same way you would for an original 40’s garment.
They recommend you hand wash the garment just as they did back in the 1940’s, although nowadays you can dry clean them instead if you wish!

Best not to dry them in direct sunlight or in an excessively hot place, as this can cause the natural yarn to twist and subsequently shrink.

If you find you have washed or dried the garment too hot by accident, you can try the following method to regain the original size and fit. Although this isn’t guaranteed to work, it may help!

1. Please soak the garment in cold water with a very generous helping of fabric conditioner and leave overnight.

2. Then, rinse the garment in fresh cold water and as you gently squeeze out the excess water, stretch the garment in both width and length as far as you can.

3. Lay the garment flat on a towel to start drying slowly; but iron while it is still damp, again stretching in both directions.

“Fabulous service from Retroesque After several failed attempts to source these shoes elsewhere, I'd almost given up hope. However Georgina at Retroesque came to the rescue assuring me they did have my size, and the burgundy colour I wanted, in stock. They were posted same day and I love them! Thank you so much.”

“Adoreable! Absolutely adore it! One of the first things that happened however was that a small green plastic flower got detached and fell off so I am going to have to glue it back myself haha. Still useable!”

“Perfect for the Revival This dress was pretty and very well made from fabric that draped well and didn’t crease. The sleeves were not too short and the neckline was nicely finished. All in all, very happy with my purchase.”

“Best retro shoes ever! I absolutely love these, they are so perfect for completing a vintage outfit but look great with anything.There are so many occasions that I have worn them such as attending the races, days out in Brighton and vintage events. It solved the dilemma of wanting to look like a pin up girl whilst not sinking in the mud or suffering from sore feet all day. I want these in every colour ❤ they have quickly become my go to shoe for spring/summer.”

“I love this skirt! It is machine washable and has pockets, a rare combination. The pockets are big enough both for my phone and a small packet of tissues. The hook and eye above the zip on the skirt helps the zip sit flat on the skirt. It fits really well, the waist band sits where you do up the skirt rather than slipping..”
