Hearts & Roses Dresses

Hearts & Roses

are the go-to brand for alternative fashion that boasts an incredible tribute to 50s style. But calling them just "50s style" sells them short. They've taken those classic silhouettes – the full circles, the wiggle dresses, the swing styles – and given them a proper modern edge.

What sets Hearts & Roses apart? They actually understand fit. I've seen too many retro brands that look great on the hanger but fit weird on actual people. H&R get that modern bodies aren't built like 1950s mannequins. Their cuts work whether you're a size 8 or 18, and that's not easy to pull off with vintage-inspired pieces.

Their range spans everything from subtle day dresses to full-on rockabilly showstoppers. The jive and swing dresses are particularly strong – proper petticoat-ready if that's your thing, but work just as well without. The prints range from classic polka dots and cherries to more unexpected florals and geometrics that bridge into 60s dress territory.

They're consistently adding and expanding their range, producing some of the finest ladies' mod clothing going. Their newer pieces have been leaning into that mod crossover – shorter hemlines, bolder colours, less frou-frou and more sharp tailoring. Works brilliantly with ladies' footwear from our collection, whether you're going full vintage with Mary Janes or keeping it contemporary with Chelsea boots.

For styling, Hearts & Roses dresses are versatile. Rock them full vintage with victory rolls and red lips. Or tone it down with a ladies' Harrington jacket thrown over the top and some docs. They even work layered over ladies' shirts for that mod girl look.

The crossover with other pieces in our women's collection is seamless too. A Hearts & Roses dress pairs as well with items from Vixxsin for an alternative edge as it does with classic mod pieces.
