Tea Fest - Kat's annual vintage tea party!

Ooooh here's something for your vintage diary!

The lovely Kat, who we've had the pleasure of working with at the Dublin Burlesque Festivals fashion shows is throwing her 4th annual vintage tea party on Sunday, September 1st.

It all begins with tasty treats galore at 4pm in The Grand Social all to the sounds of swing, jazz, blues and tango.

There'll be a free taster swing dance class at 4pm too which should work up an appetite for all those cakes!

Cabaret acts will begin to entertain the guests from 6pm featuring,

 dancers: Azaria Starfire and Lady Veneray, 

comedians: Andrea Farrell and Johnny Murphy , and

Charleston dance troupe the Belle Hoppers and burlesque performer Lou Leigh Blue.

As if this wasn't enough there will be vintage hair makeovers from Maureen Smith of Locks and Lashes

 (another friend of Dirty Fabulous!), a vintage photo booth and market stalls.

Would you believe that all this costs only €10! A bargain I think you'll agree!!!

Guests are encouraged to dress up in their vintage finery (who doesn't love an excuse to dress up?)

The motto of the afternoon is: 

 Dress up, drink tea, eat cake, dance and mingle!

Time for something special on this bright but chilly Thursday!

We recently collaborated with photographer extraordinaire David Frain and vintage hair and make-up masters Locks and Lashes.

The shoot took place on a freezing but thankfully sunny winter morning through in city centre locations in Dublin.

I think you'll agree that the results are stunning!

The shoot highlights the many different styles achievable with a vintage wedding dress.

Not only is the wedding dress important but so too are the  perfectly chosen accessories.

We are eagerly awaiting a delivery of our new vintage collection which will soon be flying transatlantic, demand will be high to see these dresses so make sure you call 01 6111842 or email info@dirtyfabulous.com now for your appointment.

We had a lot of fun on the shoot and make sure you check out our friends sites.

David is the perfect photographer to work with couples on their big day.

Locks and Lashes offer beautiful vintage hair and make-up for any special occasion.

The clothing worn by our male model was provided by the ever helpful guys at Tango's Dress Hire
