Headpieces, hats, and everything in between!

 It was de rigueur in by-gone days to complete your look with a marvelous headpiece. It's one of the things that I love most about vintage fashion; the meticulous thought that went into each outfit.

Depending on the occasion headpieces and hats could be elaborate creations or subtle works of art. Nowadays many brides are choosing fabulous headgear to compliment their wedding dresses and you simply cannot go to the races without an awesome hat. But headpieces should not be limited to just these occasions, they can be for the everyday and the special events.

Try adding a vintage floral band, jeweled clip or elegant hat to an outfit to reach it's full potential...go on... you know you want to!

Below are just a small sample of our Dirty Fabulous bespoke and vintage headpieces.

Prices range from €60 to €180

Some of our own headpiece excursions!

The Jolly Hatted Race Night!

Racing season is upon Ladies! Hip hip hurrah! Time to get dressed up, sip champagne and have an all round glamorous time. The most important item for a Fabulous Ladies Day? 

Why the hat of course!

So, we decided to make life a little easier, and definitely more fun, by hosting a pop-up millinery extravaganza in Dirty Fabulous with bubbly, hats and general fun and frolics! 

The launch night is Thursday the 22nd of March, when we will have the fabulous Rebekah Patterson and Kate Betts in store with their beautiful creations from 4pm-6:30pm. These uber talented milliners will be on hand to advice you on the best hat for your face shape and can create a bespoke piece if you so wish. 

Of course Dirty Fabulous will have a selection of 

hand-picked retro beauties 

for your perusal if it's a more vintage look you're hoping for. 

Along with glamorous handmade and vintage hats and headpieces, we are thrilled to invite Orlagh Kilbride to Dirty fabulous for demonstrations of some fab vintage make up looks. If that wasn't enough we have Rosa Ospina to advise you on how best to wear your tresses depending on the style of hat you fancy!

The evening is RSVP, so if you are interested in attending please email us with your preferred time, 

4pm, 5pm or 6pm, and we'll get back to you. 

Of course you can call us too on 01-6111842 to book your place.

Don't fret if you can't make it in on the night, Rebekah and Kate's beautiful bespoke pieces will be in store for the week running up to the 31st of March. Leaving you plenty of time to organize your headpiece ahead of  the Irish Grand National  on the 9th of April.
