  Model Roxie Roulette, image by Luminoso Studios When I started to deal in vintage clothing (as opposed to just collecting it!), I decided to specialise in vintage nightwear as I’ve always loved cute PJs and floaty nightdresses myself, and probably because I’ve always immersed myself in 1950s popular culture which is full of pin-up & ‘cheesecake’ […] Continue reading →
