Dress like Melanie Daniels from "The Birds"


Tippi Hedren's character, Melanie Daniels from Hitchcock's The Birds, managed to stay stylish even after a long, unexpected trip to Bodega Bay. Looking prim and proper and still stunning after being attacked by seagulls and a future mother 'n law, now who wouldn't want to recreate such an iconic look. I mean if Miss Daniels can make it work for her after all that, couldn't we?

Here is a traditional take on her look:
All pieces are authentic 1960's: (1) Viva Vintage Clothing

There are days where Melanie wore her gold necklace and days she didn't but it's a simple yet gorgeous piece to have. She also has her handy dandy cigarettes with her especially when she is stressed out (ie. dead seagull on Annie's doorstep), but I am not a supporter of smoking so that will be up to you.

Here are some amazing dresses that have been inspired by birds (the animal not film):

If you feel inspired by Miss Daniels outfit, you can throw some black crows on  yourself (not real ones please! hehe) and  you have an instant Halloween costume!!!

This post was loads of fun to do. Let me know if you like seeing a fashion post after a film review-I would love to do more!!

  3. Fantastic post! I've thought of doing something similar before, but don't believe I have (I love vintage movies and watch them frequently, but I don't seem to blog about them that often, come to think of), and soooo love that you're now put together vintage movie looks. I hope this becomes an ongoing series of posts - the possibilities really are limitless in terms of all the amazing yesteryear film looks to try and recreate.

  4. I've only watched half this movie - it was on late at night on New Years Day and frankly even though I was loving it, I was far too tired to stay up and watch it! I've been wondering what happened ever since. Brilliant film, great Director and wonderful clothing! Love this post Bunny :)

  5. I love Alfred Hitchcock! He was a genius! I never thought I would like birds on a dress, but this summer truly changed my mind. I bought one and loved it. Fabulous dresses!
