How fabulous does our lovely customer Rebecca look in her new Frocks outfit? 😍

She popped in yesterday and chose our gorgeous Lilana dress, which we teamed with a red bow belt and red T-bar shoes — such a perfect vintage combination! ❤️👗👠

And it turns out she had the perfect reason for a new frock…

This Saturday she’ll be attending her very first vintage fair as a seller, with Valentine’s Vintage at the Tavistock Vintage & Salvage Fair! 🎉

As it’s her first one, I promised I’d give her a little Frocks shout-out and share the details with you all. 🥰

So if you’re in or around Tavistock this Saturday, do pop along, say hello and have a rummage through all the lovely vintage treasures on offer. ❤️

Good luck for your first fair — we hope you have an absolutely fabulous day! 🌹✨

And, of course, you’ll be looking perfectly dressed for the occasion in your Frocks! 😉

✨ She's back... and she's every bit as iconic! 🤎⚪
Our beautiful Julia Dress is now back in stock in sizes 8–18!
Made famous by Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, this timeless brown and white polka dot dress has become one of our most-loved styles here at Frocks. Elegant, flattering and effortlessly vintage, it's a dress that never goes out of fashion.
These photos brought back such happy memories! ❤️ My lovely friend and customer Chloe recently popped into the shop wearing her Julia Dress, reminding me of the wonderful photoshoot we did together a while ago. I couldn't resist sharing a few of my favourite moments again!
Whether you're dressing up for afternoon tea, a day at the races, a special occasion, or simply because every day deserves a fabulous frock, Julia is a dress you'll treasure for years to come.
Who's a Pretty Woman fan? 🙋‍♀️ I'd love to know your favourite scene from the film!

Some posts are much harder to write than others... 💛

Today we're wishing my wonderful 9-year-old nephew, Joseph, and my lovely sister-in-law, Estelle, safe travels as they begin an incredible new adventure in Australia for the next year. 🇦🇺✈️

Joseph has lived just 10 minutes away from us his whole life, so it's hard to imagine him being on the other side of the world. He has grown up alongside Frocks in Swing Time and was even part of our grand opening day back in 2018 (swipe to see those lovely memories! 🥹).

Many of you will also recognise Estelle, who has been helping out at Frocks over the last six months. She's become such a valued part of our little team, and we'll really miss having her around the shop.

The exciting part is that they are heading to Melbourne to be reunited with my brother, Charlie, who has been working there. We couldn't be happier that they'll all be together again as a family, and we know they're about to make memories they'll treasure forever.

Last night we enjoyed our final family meal together for a while, and a huge thank you to Al Farid for making it so special. The food, the atmosphere and the wonderful hospitality were the perfect way to celebrate before saying "see you later."

Joseph and Estelle, we are going to miss you both more than words can say, but we couldn't be more excited for this amazing chapter. Wishing you safe travels, unforgettable adventures and a year filled with happiness.

Australia is incredibly lucky to have you both... and we'll be counting down the days until you're home again. ❤️🇦🇺✨

💙 Rosa — a fabulous frock for EVERY body! 💙

We’ve had a few customers say recently that they didn’t realise we stock plus sizes… so we thought it was time for a little reminder! 🥰

Our gorgeous Rosa dress is available in sizes 8–26, because fabulous vintage-inspired style certainly doesn’t stop at a size 16! 💃

With her beautiful blue floral print, flattering fitted bodice and full swishy skirt, Rosa is absolutely perfect for weddings, parties, garden celebrations and summer occasions. Add a petticoat for extra 1950s drama, or wear her without for a softer look. 💙🌸

And there’s more… Rosa is also available in matching children’s sizes from age 3–12 years — perfect for matching mums and daughters, aunties and nieces, or a gorgeous coordinated wedding look! 👗👧

At Frocks in Swing Time, we want women of all ages and sizes to enjoy the fun of dressing up and feeling fabulous. ❤️

📍 Find Rosa in our Exeter boutique

23 years ago today, we said "I do"... and what an adventure it's been! ❤️
Looking back, it's hard to believe just how much we've packed into those 23 years together. We've shared so many wonderful adventures, but one of the biggest was taking a leap of faith in 2018, leaving everything behind and moving to beautiful Devon to open Frocks in Swing Time.
It was a huge gamble, but one we'll never regret. Thanks to Frocks, we don't just share a marriage – we get to share our working lives, our travels, our dreams and all the little moments in between. Every day brings something new, and we're so grateful that this little shop has given us a life we truly love.
To everyone who has supported us over the years – whether you've shopped with us, shared a post, popped in for a chat or become a friend – thank you. You've all been part of our journey, and we honestly couldn't have done it without you.
Here's to 23 wonderful years... and many more adventures still to come. 🥂❤️
Hayley & Gary
Mrs & Mr Frocks 💕xx
