We are passionate about glamour
We specialise in vintage Hollywood style with a hint of Femme Fatale so you can get dressed up, transform yourself and feel like a million dollars. We value quality and a feeling of exclusivity, we want you to feel special and stand out from the crowd.
Established in 2008, Deadly is the Female is a Somerset based boutique and web shop specialising in 40s and 50s Hollywood style fashion. We really believe that getting dressed up should be part of a ritual of fun and femininity; glamour and gorgeousness! Curves should be celebrated and shown off not smothered and regretted.
We believe the confidence created by vintage style glamour starts from the skin out and we aim to help you feel fabulous about yourself. Our clothes celebrate the curves you have and help create the curves you don’t have! Our hand selected collections are chosen to highlight your assets and disguise any parts of your figure you are less thrilled with.
Shopping at Deadly, whether it is in our boutique or online, should feel like a treat. We value friendly and personal customer service and will do our very best to offer you style advice and help putting together an outfit. We pride ourselves on offering timeless and classic pieces which you will treasure for years to come. A Deadly dress won’t be out of fashion at the end of the season!
At Deadly is the Female, we aim to be a full experience in glamour and femininity. Dresses are our speciality but you’ll also find workwear to empower you, accessories from bags to hosiery to complete your look, vintage style cosmetics and oh so much more.
