Swing dress styles have always been a mainstay of those seeking out forties and fifties styles, and this Aimee Dress by Heartbreaker Fashion is one of the most appealing reproductions out there at the moment. With a real retro chic, it's an interpretation that never puts a foot wrong.

The shape of the dress is expertly executed, with a full a-line skirt starting at the waist and sloping to just below the knee. The high collar is offset with a sweetheart neckline to create a fifties style bustline that reveals just enough. Finished in a rich red and black cherry print, this dress has plenty of sex appeal without going close to trashiness.
