1950's Vintage Wedding Dress

My mannequins wait paitently in the new studio for electricians, builders, painters (and learner bloggers) to get the job done with all things up and running.

This is the original and tresured gown I had quality reproductions made from.

See the Vintage Wedding Section.

Later, as the pattern suited so many shapes and sizes, it was reproduced in all forms including this divine handpainted silk cotton bluebird gown now listed in my online store.

Many thanks to the gorgeous Emily whose arm was twisted with the offer of vintage treasures in exchange for modelling our frocks.

Sandie Bizys HAS MOVED

WHAT?

I hear you say -right in the middle of Melbourne Cup season?

Yes it's true.

Anyone having visited my previous studio would know that successfully running three businesses in one, can sometimes be a daunting task.

So I am excited to say that I have rented a beautiful studio directly across the road to concentrate on millinery, styling and vintage weddings.

Monica was indeed the lucky one who received the gift of our gorgeous little vintage business and now operates as Timeless Vintage.

Do visit Monica (who manages to open much more frequently than I could ever manage) ;-)

I still have approximately 600 vintage pieces left to pass on to new custodians, so please keep an eye out for my online store ; http://www.sandiebizys.bigcartel.com/ which will be opening in the very near future.

My new studio, 'Sandie Bizys' will be open by appointment.

Or if you see the buzzer on the door, I am in my workroom creating new pieces.

Please do call in and say hello.

1950's Bridesmaids

It's sensational when brides and bridesmaids do something a little different.
Here are our 1950's reproduction dresses (I'm not yet ready to part with the original)
dyed in a rainbow of colours. Just gorgeous!!!

Greenwich Markets

Our last day in London was a toss up between a trip to Portabello Road or a mission to Greenwich Markets.

Meeting the gorgeous Lynn and Kit at 360_Degrees_Vintage
7a Greenwich Market
was worth the trip!!!!
three-sixty-degrees@ntlworld.com

A fabulous sightseeing river tour down the Thames from London centre, brings you to this quaint little town, truly worth mooching for a day.

I had such fun with the owners, Lynn and Kit, as I tore the shop apart buying almost everything I could lay my hands on (as well as serving a few customers as I shopped)

These gals do have THE most exceptional quality stock with a special eye for unique pieces such as the hand knitted 1940's golfing vest - an original 1920's tennis dress (now ours) and WWW1 nurses uniforms.

Excess baggage takes on a whole new meaning as the pic describes!

Art deco Galerie Prague

Beautiful Prague!!!!

If you ever have the opportunity, Art deco Galerie: http://www.artdecogalerie-mili.com/

is a most wonderful vintage shop tucked behind the cafes in the old town square.

Michalska 21.

Sneak a peak of just one of the divine pieces now on sale in the studio.

(no apologies for the drooling 'vintage find' face)

Vintage in Europe

This divine piece came from a fantastic little shop in Bath - over the next few weeks,
(especially with some much needed blogging tuition), I will post information on 'must see' vintage shops discovered during our adventures.
Plus!!!! at the same time, I managed to get my hands on exactly the same dress as above in Prague
Bridesmaids??????

Gorgeous 2 piece cotton suit from Rome

Europe Stash New Arrivals

Stay Posted On Info and More Pics To Follow

NSW Myer Fashions On The Field Golden Slipper

Whoohoo!

Chuffed to say that for the third year running, one of our special clients have once again won the NSW Myer Golden Slipper Fashions On The Field.

Not only did we receive the winners place in this fabulous fashion event, we are also proud to say that four of the finalists were also showcasing our work.

In honesty, I have not kept a record of our achievements, but it would be a close estimate to say that since I have been a milliner, I believe we may have won this prize perhaps 6 times in the last ten years.

Many many thanks to my treasured clients for showcasing my work so beautifully. And thank you also to Sydney Turf Club and NSW Myer for holding such a fabulous event.
