We are recruiting!

Miss Dixiebelle is searching for a brand new belle to work a few hours a week in the boutique!

We’re looking for a girl (sorry boys but it  does need to be a lady due to lingerie fitting) who can work around 11 hours per week over a Sunday (12-4) and Monday (10.30-5.30) with possibility of a few extra hours when needed for evening events and cover.

We require all applicants to have experience in sales and have a mature, positive and natural customer service style. A knowledge and passion for vintage fashion and lifestyle is preferable.

The role includes working in the boutique as well as keeping the diary for our vintage parlour and looking after parlour clients (tea and cava pouring mostly!)

If you think you could be the right person to join our small team please email your cv to emma@missdixiebelle.co.uk

On the day we will provide all hair styling products including heated rollers and tongs and will ask you to bring your own makeup kit
We’ll have a short break for afternoon tea and cake and will finish up with a cheeky wee cocktail (possibly on the meadows weather permitting!)
We’ll be snapping candid pictures of you through the day and the person who manages to create the best do (with the least help!) will win vouchers to spend in Miss Dixiebelle boutique.

The price for the workshop is £60.00 which includes all tuition, refreshments, use of styling products and a discount in the boutique on the day.

Our stylists Vanity Thrills and Hairball Alley will show you some hair demos on willing volunteers, our makeup artist will talk you through a 20’s makeup tutuorial and we’ll have the usual giveaways, discounts in the boutique, fizz in tea cups and sweet treats to see you though this evening of deco decadence!

Tickets are £20.00 and places are limited to just 20 so get in quick! You can buy them over the phone, in person at Miss Dixiebelle or request a paypal invoice.

Miss Dixiebelle’s Christmas Party! 1st Dec, 7-10pm

Miss Dixiebelle's Christmas Party!

Miss Dixiebelle's Christmas Party!

Last year’s Christmas Party went off with ‘BANG’… quite literally as Missy Malone popped her glitter filled balloons in a very festive fashion. This year we’re very lucky indeed to have the stunning Miss Leyla Rose to get you in the mood in this very exclusive and intimate (in a spatial sense…) performance just for us!

As well as Leyla Rose we’ll be doing a Christmas styling special. We’ll show you how to create those perfect vintage glamour looks, just in time for your Christmas parties. Starting from the very basics of vintage style underwear and stockings, to dresses and outer wear and finally the essential hair and makeup looks to finish it all off.

We’ll concentrate on 2 main party looks, a classic 40′s look and a classic 50′s one. You’ll be able to ask the girls any questions and pick up tips to help you achieve the looks yourselves at home.

I’ll be on hand to do corset fittings and there will be exclusive 10% discount across the boutique and hair parlour bookings plus prizes on the night too.

Come sip Christmas cocktails in teacups and nibble festive treats with us at this special party night.

Tickets are £10.00 and available over the phone or in the boutique.

Gary Crozier’s Broken Doll photo shoot, 4th December

Broken Dolls by Gary CrozierAs so many of you couldn’t make our last Gary Crozier shoot in September we’re squeezing in another one on Sunday 4th of December.
You may have seen some of his work on our page already and wondered how it’s done and how you can be a part of it.
Firstly check out Gary’s work on his website: www.garycrozier.com or in our photo albums. You don’t have to be a specific shape or size (unless you want to be and he can ‘enhance’ you …in all the right directions!)

It’s a styling and photo/print package which includes hair and makeup by our Dixie girls Vanity Thrills, Hairball Alley and Kimberley Dewar . You get to play dress up in the shop whether it be lingerie or a dress/outfit. You also have free reign over all accessories and props in the shop. We will help you pull the whole look together and provide a little fizz and nibbles on the day to keep you going.
We require a £20.00 deposit which can be done over the phone to secure your place on the shoot.

Styling prices: £60.00 per head.

Gary’s prices are as follows:

Head and shoulders portrait:

A4 (21x30cm): £40
A3 (30x42cm): £50
Large (51x76cm): £65

Full/half/three quarter body pose:

A4 (21x30cm): £55
A3 (30x42cm): £65
Large (51x76cm): £80

Poster prints also available on either 160gsm matt paper or 190gsm glossy paper in sizes A2, A1 and A0 (£50 – £105)

If you would like extra prints of the same picture they are at a much lower price, for example: £10 (A4) or £15 (A3)

For any order to 1 address there is a set addition of £3.50 to cover postage and packaging costs. All prints will be sent by recorded delivery.

Places are limited and tend to sell out quickly so get in quick to reserve your place!
