Vintage Junkies Unite!

Welcome to the new home of Miss Vintage, lovingly created by vintage junkie Melody Wehipeihana. We bring you delicious frocks and unique attire, fabric & trinkets from the days of olde including the 50's, 60's, 70's and more modern 80's.

We have fabulous pieces that transcend todays trends and can be styled and worn to any occassion. Each garment weaves a story of past intrigues..perhaps love lost or tryst, mystery or miracles, heroes or happiness.

For those who like to whip up their own original numbers, we will be offering fabrics in limited quantities. That is of course when Miss Melody Vintage can bear parting with them!

Create your own story with a Miss Vintage original - garments with character.

Miss Vintage does not do mass produced period. Everything you see here is lovingly hand picked from New Zealand the U.K and the US of A.

Clone Wars - Summer 08/09 Collection

Fight against the bore of department store clones and embrace the eclectic beauty that is vintage.

After all, it's all about you.

And why shouldn't it be?

Colourful & Classy. Bold & Brash. Frilly & Frivolous.

Clothe yourself in pieces that define you, and not the brand from whence they originated.

Clone Wars.

Ice White Hand Painted Dress

This is one of those garments where you can recall in detail the joy and elation you felt once you feasted your eyes upon it. It has the BEST ever hand painted floral design that creeps up the dress and adorns the bust as well. For a 70s garment it is in exceptional condition and is still ice white as though it has never been worn.

Don't miss out on this one as it's an awesome one of a kind!
