Frocks in Swing Time

01/09/2026

And just like that… Twinwood 2026 comes to an end! 🥹💃🎶❤️
What a weekend! Despite some very challenging weather — including those rather spectacular thunderstorms! ⛈️😂 — the Frocks team have had the most fabulous time celebrating, dancing, dressing up and making memories with wonderful friends.
There really is something magical about Twinwood. The music, the dancing, the incredible outfits, the beautiful vintage cars and, most importantly, the people. 🥰 We’ve laughed, danced, got absolutely soaked, dried ourselves off… and carried on! 😂☔️💃
Mr Frocks and I have traded at many festivals over the years, so we know only too well what goes on behind the scenes. We absolutely take our hats off to all the fabulous traders, performers, musicians, organisers and staff who kept smiling and kept the show going through the thunder, lightning and rain. 👏❤️ We salute you!
And of course, a huge thank you to the lovely friends we shared the weekend with. You made it truly magical. ✨
Looking through these photos this morning, I can't help thinking…
How lucky are we to have vintage in our lives? ❤️
The clothes, the music, the friendships, the dancing, the adventures and the excuse to get dressed up and escape into another era for a little while. 🥰
Until next time, Twinwood… thank you for the memories. 💋🎶💃
Love from the Frocks Team ###

Morning ladies! A little recommendation today for a decent bra! It makes such a difference to the fit of your Frocks, and we are so fortunate to have the best bra fitter here in Exeter! 😊
Sam has an amazing selection and really knows how to fit! So book yourself in, you won't regret it! She is also a big fan of Frocks and has quite the collection, so she knows which bras go well with each dress! 😉

TWINWOOD OUTFIT INSPIRATION – HAVE A PLAN B! ✨
We all know British weather likes to keep us guessing… especially on a festival weekend! ☀️🌦️😂
I wore our fabulous Ginger Swing Trousers with the Darla Wrap Blouse to Twinwood a couple of years ago, when the weather was definitely on the cooler side.
Our swing trousers are such a great alternative to a dress for Twinwood or Goodwood – beautifully vintage, super flattering and perfect if the temperature drops a little. 💕 And they’re easy to dance in too! 💃
Plus, when a shower did pass over, it simply gave me the perfect excuse to sit down for tea and cake with my bestie until it passed! ☕🍰🥰
What’s not to like?!
So if you’re planning your festival outfits, it’s definitely worth having a Plan B tucked in your suitcase. 😉
Pop into Frocks and we can help you put together your vintage festival wardrobe – sunshine, showers and everything in between! 💗

❤️💚 PACKING FOR TWINWOOD & GOODWOOD… LOOK 2! 💚❤️
If there was ever an excuse to embrace fabulous vintage style, Twinwood Festival and Goodwood Revival are surely it! 💃🎶
For our second event-ready look, we’ve chosen our gorgeous Mabel dress — a wonderfully flattering 1940s-inspired style with beautiful vintage detailing and that fabulous draped waist. And because choosing between red and green polka dots is far too difficult… why not have both?! 😍
We’ve completed the look with:
👗 Mabel Dress – sizes 8–18
👠 Vintage-style T-bar shoes – UK 3–9 / EU 36–42
👒 A statement tilt hat
👜 A coordinating Kelly handbag
Go classic red from head to toe ❤️ or pair the gorgeous green Mabel with crisp white accessories 🤍💚.
Perfect for a day (or four!) of vintage shopping, dancing, live music and dressing up.
After all… ONE FROCK IS NEVER ENOUGH! 😉
Available from Frocks in Swing Time, in our Exeter store and online.
Which would you choose — ❤️ RED or 💚 GREEN?
