Styling Floaty & Embroidered Dresses

Our embroidered dresses are made to move with you. Intricate stitching, lace panels and flowing silhouettes create the kind of artistry that turns an everyday moment into something special. Pair our First Light Cream Lace Panelled Maxi Dress with the Penny Lane Cream Floral Embroidered Boots for a golden-hour look, or layer under our Harlow Black Corduroy Baker Hat to add texture and attitude. These embroidered pieces work as well at a festival as they do at a family gathering - effortless forever pieces you’ll reach for again and again.

Creating Your Own ‘70s Inspired Silhouette

When you want a true retro moment, nothing beats a bohemian dress with a hint of wanderlust. Our authentic '70s style dress designs feature flared sleeves, folk embroidery, crochet trims and earthy colourways inspired by the golden era of free expression. Pair a swingy mini with the Cross My Heart Embroidered Western Boots and a fringed belt, or let a flowing maxi - like our Solace Cream Crochet Midi Dress - bask in the spotlight with layered textured accessories. However you style it, each '70s inspired dress channels the spirit of the era and will feel completely at home in your wardrobe.

Curating Your Hippie Shake Outfit

To make every outfit feel crafted, consider mixing in pieces from our wider collections. Pairing high-waisted jeans or flared trousers with your embroidered or boho dress instantly channels an authentic ‘70s vibe, giving the look depth and attitude. Sheer dresses can be layered over a statement top or blouse for extra texture and coverage, allowing unexpected colours and patterns to peek through. The Heroes collection is packed with standout pieces - embroidered boots, velvet vests, cropped blouses - that complement our dresses beautifully. The secret to mastering this style is focusing on fabrics, proportions and accessories that work together to build a bohemian, layered silhouette.

Behind the Seams: Fabrics & Creation

Every piece in this collection is made with intention at The Hippie Shake. Our bohemian and ‘70s style dresses are crafted from soft natural fabrics (or responsibly sourced synthetics where needed), handcrafted trims like crochet or lace, and embroidery that celebrate the craftsmanship of the ‘60s and ‘70s. We work in small, collectible batches to avoid waste, honour the craftspeople behind each stitch, and ensure every dress feels meaningful, not mass-produced.

When To Wear Your Hippie Shake Dress

Different styles suit different moments. Floaty '70s style dress maxis are perfect for beach sunsets or garden parties. Midis work brilliantly for day-to-night dressing - just add boots and a jacket for cooler evenings. Minis bring a playful energy for gigs, brunch dates or nights out. And when the weather cools, layer your bohemian dress with tights, boots or a Penny Lane coat to instantly elevate your outfit. Wherever you’re headed - festival, everyday wander, or evening plans - our '70s inspired dresses are designed to move with you and tell your story.
