I always thought of vintage clothes as being incredibly small sizes - and then a friend pointed me towards Voluptuous Vintage. Catering to women of all shapes and sizes (4-34) - there's a huge range of beautiful dresses, skirts, tops and accessories (and amazing shoes). Something for everyone, and the staff are so helpful - they can suggest clothes to suit you, help you find something new *and* be incredibly friendly whilst they do it. You can buy online too, and I'm already excited about trying on my latest package from VV. Go check them out - you won't regret it! read more

We've collected years of fashion styling and knowledge, and combine this with high quality clothing and accessories to make every woman the most confident she can be, no matter what size or age she is. We have a huge range of both authentic vintage pieces and new, vintage inspired pieces, and a sizing method that will finally make shopping fun.
History
Established in 2014.
Voluptuous Vintage first opened its doors on Saturday, February 7th, 2015 in Alverstoke Village, but that's not where our story starts. As she grew up, Mrs. Darling's love for vintage clothing grew too. What started as a way to dress well on a budget and evoke the favourite images of her childhood quickly bloomed into a full-blown passion. Sizing was often a problem: tiny dresses with 26" waists were most common, so she went out of her way to find frocks in larger sizes. She sourced and collected unique original pieces from around the world over the course of a decade, always intending to open a shop one day far off in the future. Of course, one day fate intervened - a chance opportunity for a shop premises right on Mrs Darling's doorstep. Naturally, it was awful timing, as these things tend to be. But bravery and determination prevailed, and Mrs D gathered up all her courage, her inspiration, and her frocks, and put them together to create Voluptuous Vintage.
Meet the Business Owner: Jennifer D.
Mrs. Darling often wondered if she'd been born in the wrong decade. She pored over old black and white movies starring legends of style like Grace Kelly and Leslie Caron, wondering if there was any way that she could somehow wish herself back into their time, where elegance, charm, and an endless parade of perfect frocks were the order of the day. As she grew up, Mrs. Darling's love for vintage clothing grew too. What started as a way to dress well on a budget and evoke the favourite images of her childhood quickly bloomed into a full-blown passion. She was also constantly called on by her friends for help with styling. So many women were frustrated, confused, & intimidated by "fashion", and they wanted to be taught how to choose shapes, colours, & tailoring that would work for them rather than against them. After every impromptu "consultation" the result was the same: a glowing woman who radiated poise, pleasure, and a newfound self-assurance. This became Mrs D's calling.
