Here at Truly Madly Vintage we are really excited about an upcoming exhibition of a vast array of Grace Kelly's gowns and accessories. From her early days as a Hollywood star to the time when she became Princess Grace of Monaco, she had a fabulous sense of style and this is reflected in the items that you can see in the exhibition, including the dress she wore to accept her Oscar, her wedding outfit from her marriage to Prince Rainier and the original Hermes Kelly handbag - wow!

It's running at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London from 17 April to 26 September 2010 and we can't wait!

Host your own Vintage Fashion Party!

If you are based in the Essex area we are able to offer you the opportunity to host a Vintage Fashion Party, where we come to your home (or other party venue) with a selection of our collection.

All you need to do is collect together a group of friends (10 or more works best) and we will do the rest. We'll supply 50+ dresses (ranging in size from 6-18) along with separates and lots of accessories and jewellery as well as some bottles of bubbly (or non-alcoholic alternative if requested) to get the party started. You and your friends peruse the rails at your leisure and have the ability to try everything on before purchasing. If requested in advance we can also match the items we bring to your requirements, for example, if you need prom outfits or clothes of a specific era,we can pick out a range of these to bring along with our other items.

As a reward for organising, the hostess of the party can earn rewards to allow her to add to her own vintage collection at a reduced price. After all, the best hostesses are the ones who know how to indulge without paying for it the next day!
