The Dublin Burlesque Festival 2016

The Dublin Burlesque Festival kicks off today with several days of hi-jinks and glamour!

You can check out the full line-up here and don't forget to snap up your tickets as this is one hot festival! Our highlight is always the decadent afternoon tea which takes place in House on Leeson Street on Sunday 20th.

The fashion show during the afternoon tea should be a highlight to any vintage vixen's style calendar. Our own Dirty Fabulous vintage dresses will be sashaying through room!

Ms Truly DiVine will be easing you into your Sunday with her dulcet tones.

An Afternoon of Vintage Fashion in House, Leeson Street... ooh!

There's no doubt about it, if you take yourself out to any of the events in the Dublin Burlesque Festival this year then you're in for a treat.

For their night time events you can be guaranteed a raucous, surprising, sassy, hilarious and fabulous evening. 

But the Dublin Burlesque Festival likes to take things down a notch on Sunday Afternoon with their annual Afternoon Tea and Vintage Fashion Show.

While away a few decadent hours in glamour, perusing vintage fashion from the 1930's to 1950's. 

Dirty Fabulous will be one of the boutiques pulling out all the stops to excite and exhilarate the audience!

The afternoon tea will be held in a personal favourite haunt:

House on Leeson Street.

Sit back, relax and listen to the dulcet tones of Miss Truly Divine as the lovely models in with their vintage hair and make-up pass you by.

Can you think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon? We can't! See you there and don't forget to immerse yourself in the whole event and wear your vintage glad-rags!

Doors open at 1pm and the show starts at 2pm.

Tickets are limited so make it snappy and grab your tickets .   They include the fashion show and a scrumptious afternoon tea.

The Dublin Burlesque Festival and Vintage Fashion Show

The Dublin Burlesque Festival kicks off tonight with a flourish. With a week that promises sauceyness, sultryness and a little touch of freakyness it's set to be a super exciting week and we can't wait.

Dirty Fabulous will be showcasing some party looks at The Vintage Fashion Show which takes place tomorrow in The Mercantile from 2pm - 4pm. 

You can also indulge in some afternoon tea whilst you view the show. Afternoon tea is €7.50 or €12.50 if you would prefer some bubbles (and who wouldn't of a Sunday afternoon!)

There is so much happening all week so i'll leave it to you to peruse the lineup and tickets on entertainment.ie

Above are just a few snaps from the vintage fashion show, organised as part of the Dublin Burlesque Festival.

We had the pleasure of styling the glamorous models along side other vintage enthusiasts; Horse & June, Jenny Vander and Hayworth.

Those in attendance enjoyed afternoon tea while the models sashayed through the restaurant in delicious vintage attire!

The fantastic Bugle Babes entertained for the remainder of the afternoon, giving a super 1940s vibe to a rainy 

Sunday in Dublin.

A huge congratulations to Epiphany for organizing such a wonderful event, we were delighted to be apart of it and are looking forward to the Second Dublin Burlesque Festival already!
