The gorgeous range of Rock 'n' Roll, Swing, Rockabilly, Jive,
Ceroc, Leroc, Boogie Woogie, Bodgie and Widgie
& Hotrod dance and street clothes...
Possibly you're thinking
“Yes, all this gorgeous stuff looks OK - but I wonder what their
shoes, clothes & other stuff are really like ???”
If so, then we suggest you look at what many of our customers
are saying about our gorgeous service & their
gorgeous gear - here's one example:
"I would like to thank you both so very much for everything you have done in providing the shoes for both Ashleigh & myself. Not only did you not know us, but in sending them up to us with the trust in us that you did. I cannot thank you enough for this. The look on Ashleigh's face when she realized what they were was just sheer pleasure, knowing how much she wanted them. I have no hesitation in recommending both yourself & product to anyone who has asked where I got them from as has been the case so far, so I hope they get in contact with you. Once again many thanks for everything you have done. I hope you have a Merry Christmas & New Year, and maybe I will see you at Wintersun in June."

Our gorgeous customers receive top quality shoes, clothes
memorabilia & other items at affordable prices…
There's a world of difference between “cost” & “value” & it's been
said “quality is remembered” long after “price is forgotten”...
At gorgeous, our prices are not “cheap”, but they're also not
“expensive” - however, they're certainly value for money...
What we do offer is a great combination of top quality, guaranteed
products at prices that “don't cost the earth”...
And it's no accident that over 80% of our business is from
previous customers, referrals & recommendations…
We can also send you a Price List in your own currency...

The new gorgeous market
Our smallest, but proportionately fastest growing group of customers have
absolutely nothing to do with swing, rock 'n' roll, rockabilly or dancin'...
They're typically “mid-teens” to “early thirties”, looking for shoes 'n' clothes with
a “point of difference” - especially as increasing numbers in these age groups
are into “all things retro” - & they reckon our gear is “pretty cool”...
(so do we of course, but we're a bit on the “biased” side)
Some have see mum & dad wearing their gorgeous gear & just can't believe
that their parents are into such cool stuff - & it all flows on from there...
Or - it's been “word of mouth”, “recommendations” or “referrals”...
Or - they've discovered the gorgeous website or seen our flyers...
So don't be at all surprised who you'll now see wearing some of our
fabulous range of gorgeous shoes 'n' clothes `n' other stuff...
|

Our gorgeous shirts
A great many rock 'n' roll, rockabilly & swing dancers, competitors, bands &
performers all over the world are now wearing our gorgeous shirts...
And a growing number of hotrod enthusiasts, rally teams & racing car and
bike teams are also now making the choice of wearing our gorgeous shirts...
Like their amazing cars & bikes, these shirts are fully “customisable”...
They can be made completely to your requirements - in your design, & in
your choice of colours - (there's over 60 great colours to choose from)...
These fabulous shirts certainly help you to “stand out from the crowd”...
We can make them in matching designs for the "gals", so the ladies don't feel
“left out of it” - & if you want names embroidered on them - no probs...
We also have two other very fast-growing markets...
10-pin bowlers: many bowlers prefer the more stylish “retro” look - rather than
those boring polo shirts - gorgeous shirts can be made in their team colours
or designs, & the extra space with rear gussets are fabulous for bowling...
The corporate sector: many companies & marketing organizations are
seeking something “different”, but “smart-looking” for their
Sales & Marketing Conferences, Trade Fairs and the like,
especially when there's “teams” involved...

Bowling Shirt Measuring
(for guys 'n' gals)
Bowling Shirts were obviously first designed for 10 pin bowling, so that
the bowlers could “s-t-r-e-t-c-h” - hence the rear gussets (pleats),
& by their "very nature", bowling shirts are “loose fitting”
Bowling shirts were then “adopted” by swing dancers and later
on by rock `n' roll & rockabilly dancers, because they also
wanted the “s-t-r-e-t-c-h” for when they were dancing
Please provide your actual body measurements and we will make the
appropriate adjustments to ensure a correct "bowling shirt fit"
A: Around Chest - inches or centimetres
B: Around Waist - inches or centimetres
C: Around Hips - inches or centimetres
D: From rear collar base to finished shirt length
E: From collar base to finished sleeve end
F: Around Arm - inches or centimetres - short sleeve
F: Around Arm - inches or centimetres - long sleeve

gorgeous Gift Vouchers
Almost everbody has Gift Vouchers - but they can be so "boring"
Yes, the "thought" is there, & you'd like to give the receiver
some "choice" - however, they can often seem like:
" I couldn't think of anything else to give you, so this will do"
Which of course, defeats the whole purpose of your gift
Wouldn't it be great if you could still give someone "choice",
without losing that all important "personal touch"
Well - now you can
gorgeous offers Gift Vouchers which can be designed to your
requirements - & which can also be "personalized" with
photos of the recipient - & that's a worldwide first
Here's an example of what we mean:
gorgeous Gift Vouchers are a "gorgeous innovation", & they're
available in ANY currency & can be used from ANY Country
They can obviously be emailed to ANYWHERE in the world
|
gorgeous accepts:

FREE INTERNATIONAL TELEPHONE CALLS
You can talk to us at gorgeous from your computer absolutely FREE
It's just like talking over the telephone - but you don't have to pay
those horrendously expensive international phone call rates
You'll need to install a clever little freeware program called "Skype"
Once you've installed "Skype", search for us under "gorgeous-gear"
in Australia - & you can then speak to us completely FREE
You can even call people who don't have "Skype", or have a computer
Yes, it does cost you a little, but we really do mean "a little" - & it's
also considerably less than those International Phone Cards
eg: Check out the costs of a 30 minute call between Australia & the
following Countries - & the costs are the same in either direction:
USA:
|
US 62 cents
|
 |
New Zealand:
|
NZ 98 cents

Details are on the "Skype" site - under "SkypeOut"
If you have a webcam, we can even "eyeball" while we're talking
with "Skype" video calling - & this is also completely FREE
"Skype's" PRIVATE chat function includes a conference call facility
In the course of our gorgeous business, we make many calls to our
customers right across the world - & as you can probably tell
from all this, we're absolutley rapt with "Skype"
"Skype" is a fabulous utility & so easy to use - it's saving us a "bundle"
“I knew it was over when I downloaded Skype,” Michael Powell, chairman, Federal Communications Commission, explained. “When the inventors of KaZaA are distributing for free a little program that you can use to talk to anybody else, and the quality is fantastic, and it’s free – it’s over. The world will change now inevitably.”
