I've had my eye on this 50's inspired creation for a while now.

 It bares a striking resemblance to Carrie Bradshaw's polka-dot dress from amongst some of Sex and the City's final episodes:

I'm still waiting for them to stock my size after accidentally ordering the wrong size (moral of the story: always check your measurements when ordering from somewhere new). Unfortunately the staff don't seem to be very responsive to emails...

Vivien of Holloway has a big following, especially among burlesque performers and the dresses are apparently made locally in London. Their website is well worth checking out if you need a dress for a special occasion. 

In the meantime, I'm excited about this lush Trashy Diva dress. It's currently on sale, designed the lovely Candice Gwinn in New Orleans. However, there is no mention of how the dresses are made (where/by who?) and whether the company has any ethical policies.
