The suits are created with styles from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s in mind, ranging from simple black one-piece suits to itsy bitsy polka dotted bikinis.

These retro styles are some of the reasons why The Red Dolly has such popular bathing suits.
Swimsuit colors available in The Red Dolly swimwear boutique range from simple and basic to flashy and bright. Basic blacks, bold primaries, contrasting polka dots and fancy plaid are all available at The Red Dolly boutique. If you’re looking to stand out on the beach or poolside, the two-toned leopard print and black one-piece. One pieces, two pieces and even a yellow polka dot bikini are all available in what appears to be an endless variety of styles, prints and colors. If you’re extra bold and looking for something that is guaranteed to stand out from the crowd, there is a denim bikini with the sides cut out, crafted especially for the bold girl who wants to shine.
The Red Dolly takes custom orders on many suits, so if you are looking for a suit in a specific size or fabric, Heather will take the specifications and make a suit that customizes you, your body and your style perfectly. If your receive your suit in the mail and it is not as described in the product description, returns are accepted. If you’re a retro girl at heart, check out the shop and dive in to one of the hottest pin up style swimsuits on the market!

Guys and dolls alike partial to the vintage look have gobs of duds to select as they sift through the pages on their site, but chicks do have more to choose from, with more than 50 different dresses alone and pages of separates and accessories like peasant and pencil skirts, blouses, shoes, capris, purses, jackets picture frames and printed Tee’s. Yet gents and greasers both won’t be disappointed by their options because Hollywood Flame’s array of bowler shirts, Tee’s and jackets are well made and varied from brands like Cubavera, Tarantula and Nat Nast.
Like bargains? Hollywood Flame understands the global inclination toward financial conservation and keeps are well-maintained sale section filled up to the brim with thrifty threads for you to browse through. The clothes they offer there are all the same brands and quality as elsewhere on the site, but are reduced significantly in price and only limited by the sizes and stock available.
Although right now Hollywood Flame is currently only available for business online, this modern vintage boutique has big plans to open their own non-virtual store in East London quite soon. Until then, they continued shipping internationally with fees based on location, and although they list their prices only in £ sterling they accept payments through direct bank transfers, PayPal and RBS World Pay. Those concerned about returns from a shop so far away will be happy to know that this vintage shop rarely says no to item sent back within 7 days.
