Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle

Poor Tittle Tattle, we’ve been so neglectful. But it is only because we’re super busy planning something super exciting. We’ll spill the beans real soon, promise. In the meantime, we’ve been thinking frocks. As stationers, Mitchell & Dent gets to work with lovely brides a lot and have heard how frustrating it can be to find these kinds of frocks in Perth (if you have, do please share!). Folks find them on Etsy, but would you be brave enough to order in a frock from overseas unseen? Well if you are, these ones look pretty…

We know a girl who just gave her notice in order to spend more time getting noticed for what she does best. You too can be noticed in notable vintage from The Vintage Valley. Congrats and good luck Ally.

Excuse the little lull in posts but yours truly has been at home with a monster sniffle, moaning about bad daytime telly and staring at the walls. If only I had more things to look at, like these brill bronzes by Walter Bosse and his missus Herta Baller. If you can’t find the midcentury originals, don’t fret. They are still being made in a sleepy snowy town on the Austrian-Hungarian border. Hurrah Modern Vienna Bronzes!

It is spring cleaning time and Madame Mitchell has her feather duster at the ready. I expect she might choose to wear something a little like this jumpsuit from Miss Hussy in Melbourne and the USA. She has carpets to clean, windows to wash and her flannelette bedding to pop back in the closet. Madame Dent is perhaps not so organised, but not to worry, her only wish for spring is to step out in frisky new footwear – toes unfettered.

If you’re looking for old-school mid-century glamour but can’t afford to run away to get married at The Parker, why not opt for a little Palm Springs style in your own home town? Honeycomb is the perfect wedding stationery suite for couples who wish to channel their inner Audrey and Cary and can be found on the Mitchell & Dent website, in our newest catalogue or in a sample pack available in our little online shop.

[Insert whiny voice here] I want a hand-lettered sign from Three Potato Four. And I would also be eternally grateful if anyone who can tell me the name of a cringe-worthy zombie film I vaguely remember seeing at band camp (yes I was a high school arts geek, not much has changed). The zombies were bushy-browed, turtleneck-wearing sea captains. Of course, I never did have a good memory.

This is what Mitchell & Dent think the perfect night out is all about. Pencils and pinot, drawing and dancing girls. Our quick sketches (top: Mademoiselle Michelle, middle: Madame Mitchell, bottom: Madame Dent) from the recent Dr Sketchy’s Anti Art School of the too too pretty kitty Brandy Savage, divine live model that she was, feathers and all.

If you, like Mitchell & Dent, think there is a distinct lack of chiffon in cocktail dresses of late and worry that a Hervé Léger frock won’t look quite so flattering after your fourth bellini, try Beverly Hill’s Timeless Vixen Vintage. Wonderfully ridiculous silk and tulle and lace concoctions from days of yore when necklines were made for jewellery and skirts were made for dancing.
