Our Favourite Blush Wedding Dresses!

It probably hasn't escaped your notice that the trend for blush wedding dresses is getting bigger and bigger; and isn't it just wonderful!

From the 1930's to 50's it wasn't uncommon to wed in blush or pale pink so if you're searching for a dress (particularly tea length) in these shades, then vintage is a super place to start!

Bridal blogs are full of inspiring looks, of which we've shown a few. Followed up with some of the favourite blush, vintage wedding dresses from our current collection.

We even have the cutest blush 1950's wedding veil that just arrived and I'm sure, won't be in Dirty Fabulous for long!

Get in touch to make your appointment to find your own dream wedding dress now. We can't wait to see you!

Break Out The Brocade!

An explosion of colour at Winter should be an essential fashion trend every year. I mean how can wearing only black and grey in the darker months bring a smile to our faces?
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of dark colours, I wear them right through the year but here at Dirty Fabulous HQ we also wear bold colours the year round, maybe even more so during the Winter months.
I'm sure (not sure) it's been proven somewhere that bright colours makes you happy! At the very least you should give it a try and see for yourself.
The Fall/Winter 2017 runways were jammed packed with daring prints and glossy, rich tones. Gucci and Erdem in particular knocked it out of the park!
These bold brocades and embroidered fabrics are nothing new. They were huge in the 50's and 60's and were often worn to the most fanciest of occasions, they aren't just for soft furnishings you know!
Take some inspiration from the new and old:
