Any excuse for some beautiful vintage wedding dress images!

1940s candlelight satin Victorian style wedding gown 

1930s Silver and White bias cut satin gown 

1950s sweetheart satin and tulle wedding gown

1930s ivory satin beaded wedding gown

1950s structured gown with feather detail






It's impossible not to be caught up in the hype about tomorrows Royal wedding. We'll be here in Dirty Fabulous for the event but we'll be keeping a close eye on the fashion updates online.
What will Kate wear? What will the guests be wearing? How do you dress for one of the biggest weddings of our time?
Obviously if we were going (!!!) we would be attired in the finest vintage gowns, elegant yet totally unique, (imagine the horror if you were caught in OK magazine in the same dress as some celebrity or royal dignitary...eek!).
The first series of images are Dirty Fabulous vintage wedding dresses that ooze regal sophistication whilst the last images are Vogue images from the 1930's to the 1950's. Courtesy of www.myvintagevogue.com.
Spectacular for any royal bride or stylish guest!

Marino College End Of Year Fashion Show!



We were delighted to have Ellen Lawless use one of our gorgeous 1950s vivid red cocktail dresses for her graduation fashion show for Fashion Industry Practice.
We attended the show ourselves and it was a fabulous night that showcased the up and coming talents of fashions 'Bright Young Things'.
Ellen was a pleasure to work with and we wish her all the best in the future!
