Pretty Parcel A/W'14: Young At Heart - The Clothes Maiden Magazine

Now we hate to wish our days away, and embracing each day as it comes is pretty important for us, however when Pretty Parcel came on the scene our morals were slightly questioned. With autumnal clothing that actually makes you squeal with excitement, their adorable prints and flattering fits makes autumn seem all the more desirable.

All of their clothing is either one-off, or limited edition, and being completely designed and handmade in Australia, the outback fashion is swimming over the pond to see what the Brits think. We think we like it. Everything is designed by Shannon McAlpine and handmade in Mornington Peninsula, and if that wasn’t enough then you can also brag that tender love and care was put into the production.

With the perfect balance between vintage techniques from their homely mantra, and contemporary designs, these items are definitely something to desire. The collection boasts throw on capes with names like ‘On the Road Again’, giving you ideas on what to do with your day, influenced by a sense of adventure; and also adorable pinafores called ‘I’m a little Teapot’ (thankfully not short and stout), which go along with the mass craze for them currently, but with a vintage twist.

You can also indulge yourself in the ‘Flights of Fancy’ dress, showing off rich green and blues with a proud peacock print, showing off a regal tone and adding first class fashion to your day. If all of that isn’t enough then you’re spoilt for choice with a massive array of cute dresses, adorable patterns, and a life time supply of lovingly made fashion from the oz.
