Stylish touches
Bring a touch of vintage sophistication to your
outfit with a stunning clip. ‘Dress clips were
popular accessories between the 1920s and the
1950s, and they were an effective way to
instantly add eye-catching detail to a neckline,’
says Catherine Benson, owner of Perfectly
Vintage. ‘They can be worn in many other ways
too – bringing a touch of vintage sophistication
to lapels and pockets, or clipped to belts and
handbags. They will even provide a glamorous
vintage element on a bridal bouquet.’
