Able Grable's Fabulous Vintage Frocks!

Posted on 10:03 AM by follow me

"Able Grable is slang for a hot woman! At the time of World War Two if you were hot just like Betty Grable you'd be called an Able Grable." - Miss Matilda from Able Grable.


Miss Matilda from Able Grable has today launched her spectacular line of vintage reproduction dresses for this years sunnier seasons. I cannot help but feel optimistic about Spring after spying Miss Matilda's designs and wonderful vintage inspired creations. Now we need not care if the drizzle continues to pour, our outfits can shine through!

Made of the finest silks and satins, Able Grable truly inspires gals who are forever searching for fantastic vintage reproduction dresses. Able Grable takes inspiration from old Hollywood stars of the 1930s and 1940s and stays true to original vintage styles and patterns.

I have loved Able Grable from afar for a while now, I really appreciate and admire how much work goes into each one of her dresses. Miss Matilda is clearly someone who is really in love with the 1930s and 40s and takes great pride in her creations. I think you can tell from the fine fabrics and beautiful colours and prints used, Miss Matilda belives in quality and not quantity. Making only 12 dresses of each style, each vintage reproduction dress is limited edition making an Able Grable dress a must have item for your wardrobe.
The three dresses pictured above have just been added to Able Grable so what are you waiting for? 
This is my favourite Able Grable dress...inspired by Hitchcock and created with Margaret Lockwood in mind. A 1930s silky vintage reproduction dress in plaid. This dress is called Miss Iris Henderson and can be found HERE. Also comes in bright purple! See Fleur De Guerre pictured above.(middle).
