I'll be a monkeys uncle if I ever come across a wardrobe which doesn't have a little black dress in it!
Even though I myself am mostly a colour fiend I can still manage to have numerous said articles in my wardrobe at any given time.
They are an essential go to fashion item which can transcend from work to party with a few key accessories.
Pretty much every accessory you own could be worn with a black dress. This is why it's so important to update your own little numbers. If you have worn that black dress to death then "yes" maybe it is time to move on and replace it!
Dirty Fabulous always stocks a divine range of black party and evening dresses from the chic to the extravagant...
Make your appointment now for your vintage 'little black dress'
Decades of fashion can't be wrong!!!

Silk, beaded and jewelled flapper dresses







As you may have gathered the 1920's flapper dress is a huge trend in fashion right now.
Original flapper dresses are extremely rare and are priced as such. 
They also tend to come in smaller sizes.
Despite this, they remain one of the most dazzling pieces of fashion history.
Dirty fabulous has a select range of original flapper and flapper style vintage dresses from later eras.
We also have many stunning accessories to add to any dress to add a spark of flapper glamour, perfect when adding a touch of authenticity to a high street flapper dress. Why not try a beaded shawl, fur stole, intricate headpiece or shimmering jewels.
