Deadly in the Mail on Sunday & Mail Online thanks to Nigella Lawson and our Red Wiggle Dress!

Last week Deadly owner Claudia was interviewed by Angella Johnson about Nigella's Red Wiggle Dress for the Mail on Sunday and some of their conversation has been included in articles in the Mail on Sunday (27th Jan 2013) and on the Mail Online!

The article is full of praise for Nigella and our little red dress!

"The scarlet design evoked the most glamorous aspects of Fifties fashion – and immediately invited comparisons with Marilyn Monroe’s style and traffic-stopping curves."

"Classic curves: Nigella Lawson's hourglass figure was enhanced thanks to this figure-hugging frock"


We are so pleased Susanna Constantine of Trinny and Susanna talks about the dress in the article too. She is quoted as saying

"Nigella looks stunning. This dress does everything to show off her luscious figure without falling into the trap of trash. It’s not like she has laid out her wares, yet we know she is all woman. Curvy women must honour their bodies by showing them off like this."

Not bad for a tiny West Country store hey?!

Lots of you have been busy buying your very own Deadly Red Wiggle Dresses so stock is starting to run low again... If you have fallen in love with this timeless look we recommend that you don't hang around!

We'll be getting more in early next month along with a black version. Also please be sure to take a look at our other fabulous fifties inspired dresses - we always select dresses which will help enhance your curves and make you feel (at least) a million dollars!

And don't forget you can keep up to date with stock levels, new items & all our gossip through our Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and by signing up to our newsletter!

Introducing 3 new dresses from the Pinup Girl Clothing house brands.

We are so excited to now stock these 3 new vintage style dresses by Pinup Couture


We are absolutely smitten with this Hollywood style wiggle dress. We had them in black and red before Christmas & they sold out faster than any dress we've ever had before! 
So if you aren't sure of the meaning of the term 'bombshell dress', we recommend you try out the Monica Dress in Gold!
Sizes S-XXL
£135



Next we'd like you to meet Birdie - a 50's House Coat style dress.
This soft satin dress with a warm red rose print is an instant classic. We've had several versions of Pinup Couture's Birdie Dress in over the years and the fit is wonderful. 
The simple 50's style details like the portrait collar and nipped in waist make you feel feminine and sexy without being over the top! 
If you did want to dress this up we recommend trying it with a vintage style crinoline petticoat & seamed hosiery.
Sizes S-XXL
£110



Finally, for now at least, meet Erika!
You may remember the Evelyn dress we had with a full skirt, well the Erika wiggle dress is her grown up vamp of a sister!
Cut with a classic peasant style top and little cap sleeves, the dress is fitted through the waist & into a wiggle skirt. 
It comes with a little removable & reversible bolero which can either be worn to show luxurious black velvet or matching rose printed satin. 
Sizes S-XL
£110

As always we are always bringing new stock in, but we just had to share our excitement about these 3 new Pinup Couture dresses
