Dressing up really is a must .. (Trust Me) not dressing up will certainly have you standing out in the crowd (not in the right way ) .. i mean we are back in in 1940 , 1950 or  even 1960 right ! .. you choose,  either way dressing up is key .. and adds to the experience of the day, whether you choose original vintage style or reproduction.. Go for it ! have fun .. 

You can come and visit us at Get Ready For Goodwood Market  where you can try on our 1940s & 50s pieces ..

At Revival you can take part in the daily Best Dressed Competition at 1500hrs each day. It gives us the chance to applaud the period detail and/or wit involved in the most impressive ensembles. 

The Best Dressed competition is of course a light-hearted way to celebrate retro clothing and design, but if you are keen to make the final shortlist then there are ways to impress our judges.

Our Best Dressed judges are all about the details. As experts in fashion and culture of the 1940s - 60s, the key is authenticity, whether that is by using original garments and accessories from that period or relying on more modern pieces to capture the essence of a vintage look.

Now To The Fabulous 1950s..  In the 1950's right after world war 2 the golden age arose. Such an inspiring period of fashion, the 1950s brought exciting trends like tailored dresses with full skirts, large overcoats with fur trim, polka dot prints, poodle skirts, saddle shoes, padded suit coats, double-breasted suits, and much more. We still see many nods to 50's fashion today.
