Carolines Top 3 Vintage Picks From Dirty Fabulous!

We see so many incredible pieces pass through the doors of Dirty Fabulous and our wants-list is often huge. But we've narrowed it down a bit for you here to a couple of choice picks.
Even though Caroline and I have very different tastes we can both appreciate all of our vintage pieces for their beauty and rarity. 
To see how our styles differ we thought we'd share our current top 3 fav's!

Take a peek at Caroline's:
  
No 1: 
1960's B. Siegel Company champagne brocade two piece dress. The heavy brocade fabric and silver and pearl beading make this dress ultra sophisticated. It's quite Jackie O and very classic in design. Wouldn't it make a perfectly chic wedding ensemble!

 
No 2:
Not surprisingly, it's the colour that Caroline adores in this 1950's blue evening gown with sequin detailing. It's such a strong colour which looks fantastic against most skin tones. I can see this dress being worn for a black tie event or it would make a totally unique debs dress!


No 3.
This 1980's ruched jersey dress is from our vintage bridal collection and boy is it a showstopper!
The draping is super figure hugging but in all the right ways. This is one for all you edgy and alternative brides who shy away from the traditional bridal norms and prefer fashion forward fabulousness!!!

1960s Cooooool!

Oh this is good, it's very very good! Makes me want to time travel back to the swinging 60s, don a teeny mini, rock a pixie crop and trot around arm in arm with a stylish bad boy!


Thought I'd share this super stylish video from the 'Modfather' shoot which featured some Dirty Fabulous retro frocks and accessories.

1960s Psychedelic Glamour!










They definitely weren't shy about colour in the 1960s! It was an experimental decade in all senses of the word and the fashion of the time expressed this.
Out went the demure, girlishness of the 1950s and in came an explosion of colour and flirtatiousness!
Women became more comfortable in expressing there sexuality and as a result the hem line of their dresses crept up!!!
The above images are an example of how these vivid beauties were shot originally in Vogue whilst the last 3 pictures show a selection of our own sumptuous 1960s fabrics.
Colour clashing and blocking is not a new trend people....
