Jubilee Party dresses
The emblem for the Platinum Jubilee is a mix of purple and platinum colours. The platinum is of course a nod to the celebration itself, whereas the purple is a colour that is synonymous with royalty. Our nod to the Platinum Jubilee colours come in these glorious designs! We call this striking design our Violet Grace dress, with a cleverly designed tie front to flatter tummies, whilst the length is perfectly flawless. I think Her Majesty would look gorgeous in this stunning purple shade. This dress could be worn at any Jubilee Celebration! All our Bombshell wearers deserve only the best fabrics and this outfit is made from 100% Silk Lining 100% Polyester plus netting. The netting gives the 50s style flare that skims past the hips to give the most feminine shape. A wardrobe highlight!
We have exactly the same style and shape in the Platinum Jubilee Silver colour, with our shade in Slate. It’s just a gorgeous, subtle and shimmering design. Fit for a royal indeed! All our designs are created with women’s curves in mind. Whether you’re after a dress for a big bust, or have larger hips, or menopausal tummy, Bombshell has you in mind. Have a read through and look at our beautifully curated designs that offer so many gorgeous colours and patterns all made with materials that are sustainable and made to last.

The Queens favourite colour?
When it comes to cheering our Queen, let’s see what her favourite colour seems to be! HRH wears so many colours well, including lemons and fuchsias but she shines brightly in shades of blue! In the lead up to the Jubilee the Queen has been spotted wearing a range of blue outfits, one of her favourite colours!

Of course, sticking to the traditional British colours of red, white and blue will be fantastic to celebrate this occasion, whether it’s a fun mixture or colour blocks like Her Majesty loves! The perfect Jubilee colours to our Bombshells could celebrate this historic milestone wearing would be purple, white, blue, red, and platinum (or for a dress it would be a shimmering silver effect).
Combining all of these gorgeous colours that are associated with these wonderful events surrounding the Platinum Jubilee will allow you to step out with pride and purpose! Think accessories and decorations such as a pretty pearl necklace, or sparkling brooch!

What to wear to a garden party...
With summer just round the corner, and the Jubilee a couple of weeks away, garden and lawn parties are popping up everywhere! They are something that everyone loves, however, not everyone finds them easy to dress for! The outfits can actually be extremely hard to put together, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered for etiquette, style and comfort.
With a garden party you want to wear something that is comfortable and is versatile in case the weather changes. Our ‘Bombshell Red Grace Tie Front Shirt Dress’ is both flattering and elegant and can be paired with a nice simple jacket in case it turns cold outside! The turn back sleeves and button through front with a concealed placket is a super comfortable dress that will give you the perfect look for a Jubilee Garden Party. Pair this dress with some gorgeous red heels to have a complete Jubilee inspired outfit.
As I mentioned earlier, you can never fully predict the weather for a garden party, so it’s a great idea to take a jacket that looks amazing but does its job of keeping you warm if degrees drop. A jacket that matches your outfit already but isn’t the staple piece is something that you should be aiming for here.

This ‘Bombshell Cheltenham Coat in Red Moss Crepe’ is exactly what we mean. It is a stunning coat with timeless glamour. Paired with a gorgeous red dress you’ll feel like you stepped out of a movie fit for the Jubilee! The coat has of course been designed with your body shape in mind, it will flatter your curves whilst gently sculpting through the bodice and finishes just below your dress as all good coats should do! What’s even better is that it is practical too!

The amazing Grace dress...
We have shown you the gorgeous reds, but did you know we have an absolute must have dress in white, if you are feeling your inner Grace Kelly! Yes! I designed this dress with Ms Kelly in mind, as I love the 50s fashion, as it was such a wonderful era of woman who dressed to impress, yet knew their minds well! We can feel beautiful and feminine whilst being our fabulous selves too! This is our Ivory Soft Stretch Satin Grace Tie Front Bombshell Dress, one of our best sellers, most often bought to stand out from the crowd with a unique brand and style; it truly is a wardrobe statement piece.

The elegant length, which is past the knee, is a flattering part of this design with an adjustable wrap bodice being an added bonus to this piece.

It’s so durable and match it with a pair of white pumps and you’ll feel a million dollars. It is a LIMITED EDITION, so grab it fast! It’s our Liberty Print Capevista in Tana Lawn for the Love of Pockets Dress.
Who doesn’t love a pocket?! We have created the “out sized” form of pocket to not only make the wearer look slimmer, but they are practical too! Sometimes we don’t want to carry a bag, we just want to pop our phone, keys or lipstick in our pockets! The design is tea-dress style, with the skirt flaring out slightly with hidden, deep pockets and a turn down collar, ¾ length sleeves, with a well curated tie belt, this gives you that 50s feminine shape, which is super flattering.
