Retrospec’d

Hello There,I would just like to say that as somebody who has been described as having impossibly high standards, & one who expects good quality in pretty much everything I spend my hard earned money on, then I can only say this, Retrospec'd's clothing is brilliant, excellent & they are the best of the best at what they do.I have been a life long lover & enthusiast of original vintage 1950s dresses, & the reality is that despite some of these original 50s clothes being quite expensive, they're not necessarily great quality.Retrospec'd has very beautiful dresses & clothes which are of the highest standards, which are excellent quality.Their careful reproduction of original 40s & 50s fabrics is truly beautiful, stylish, & original, & these beautiful dresses fit & flatter gracefully & elegantly.I love the consideration, the passion, & the time that Sharon, Teena & their team put into their wonderful designs, as is obvious that they themselves are enthusiasts & lovers of original 1940s & 1950s vintage.A genius yet simple (paraphrasing here) wholesome idea to create these beautiful timeless dresses for everybody to love & enjoy.There are people I have had shouting out to myself enthusiastically & so happily everywhere I go, that are so desperate to attain these beautiful unique tailored dresses, & time & time again I have recommended these beautiful quality dresses to so many people.Everywhere I go people have been stopping me in the streets, at art galleries, in academia, at social events, & even in the mundane day to day of going about doing our necessary business that we have to do, & people are so happy when you tell them about where they can attain these dresses. I have an older dress from many years ago which I work in day in and day out as I am a visual artist who paints full time, & I think well life is too short, & I want to feel feminine as I work in these wonderful dresses which are also very comfortable.I wear them as well a little more formally for business meetings & social functions, & I am always met with so much admiration, & many women complimenting me on how lovely, striking, original & stylish these dresses are.I have had friends who have begged me & wished to buy some of the dresses which I own & are now discontinued fabrics that Retrospec'd have created in the past, & at times I cave, & give it to them so they too will enjoy the happiness & joy you attain from wearing these lovely feminine, & wonderful beautiful dresses which fit like a glove, are of the highest standard & are just brilliant overall.A wonderful team of helpful lovely ladies at Retrospec'd.I would give Retrospec'd 100 stars if that was/is possible.Just wonderful.

My favourite Australian business!I have so many clothes from Retrospec'd. The clothes last for years, they are historically accurate, they fit so well (especially for ladies with curves), and I get so many compliments wearing their clothing. I prefer their plainer coloured designs rather than the loud prints (but I know some people love the crazy bright designs!) Keep up the amazing work.The service is also very good in store.

I love this place. I have a Retro Spec'd collection of clothes that continues to grow. Quality products, designed and made in Australia. If you love clothes from the 40s and 50s then this is the place to shop.

The lady who helped me was so lovely and helpful, I was able to get exactly what I wanted thanks to her! The quality of the clothing is exceptional and I am very happy with my purchase! Thank you!

Such wonderful friendly and helpful service, well worth the 90 minute drive to buy the perfect things.

Love this shop! The staff are friendly and helpful. Found that their stock (largely rockabilly styles) is well-presented in the website; it looks just as good in store.I admit to only having made one purchase there, but am very happy with the quality of my dress (100% durable cotton), that has already had many people asking me where did you get that dress!?" as it is wonderfully unique."

Great service and quality clothing. After several washes, these clothes look and feel brand new. Strongly recommend this store.

Excellent quality, well designed retro style dresses. They're not cheap but they last and look good for years - I've had one for 6 years and I still get compliments whenever I wear it.

Great vintage (40's & 50's) style fashion and accessories with their own signature fabrics, variety of styles to suit your look and figure that fit like a glove and make you feel so glamourous.

My choice as the best vintage shop in Sydney. Such a huge of selection of high quality made clothes with an amazing choice of styles. I love visiting their website since unable to visit - service always with a smile!
