To Dior or not to Dior, that is the question.....

While researching for another post I came across this image and thought that it looked very familiar -

This is an Yves Saint Laurent for Dior 1958 cocktail dress. 

It was listed as having perspiration stains, fabric splitting and, brooch pin marks.

It sold last month through KerryTaylor auctions for £3,400.

(That's €4230!)

If this dress tickles your sartorial taste buds then get a load of this! -

 This original 1950's cocktail dress, by Abe Schrader, is in Dirty Fabulous right now for the rather more affordable €310

Bust-34"

Waist-26"

Or perhaps this ravishing emerald satin version?

Also an original 1950's cocktail gown €310

Bust 37"

Waist 34"

An absolute stunner!

The Colours of Vintage

Hurrah it's sunny...no wait, it's raining again...but yes, the sun is just peeping out again...hmmm those clouds look ominous....

Unbelievably we are nearly in May of 2013, the fifth year of the month, I mean we're nearly half way through another year, how time flies!!! 

I thought I'd brighten up your day with a pop of vintage colour from the party and occasion dresses that we currently have in stock.

If like me you have an increased vitamin D to colour ratio occurring in your wardrobe then rest assured Dirty Fabulous has what you are looking for!

It' s one of the things I love most about wearing vintage clothing...it opens up your colour palette to a world of possibilities.
