All of the Tim Allan sketches and miniature dresses are now online. The sketches are a mixture of evening wear and wedding gowns, items for both Tim’s Parnell boutique, and some for individual clients. Click here to see the selection.

All of these sketches have been mounted and will be on sale at the Haute Couture Soirée.

Was your wedding dress designed by Tim Allan? If so, we might have the original sketch!

Sunday, November 23rd 2-6pm, Tickets $65.00 each

Many of you have seen one of the amazing gowns we have hanging in our shop. We are thrilled to announce we are having a Passionata Soirée to present, promote and sell these clothes on Sunday, 23rd November at 2:00pm. Tickets at $65 each are available through either calling our shop or emailing us. We recommend you order your tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. We have had huge interest in this event. There will be bubbles and nibbles, along with Mary Livingston’s fabulous light opera singing. This will be a lovely afternoon at a beautiful venue at Orams Marine. Dresses will be styled and paraded on models while you sit comfortably enjoying the lovely environment.

We will be telling Tim’s story. Tim spent a great part of his career in the UK and in Melbourne, opening a boutique in Parnell in the late 1980’s. We have some of those clothes and amazing gowns from the early 90’s. These gowns are collectors’ items and you will not be disappointed. Among Tim’s clients were Kiri Te Kanawa, Angela D’Audney and Hilary Timmins.

We are creating an on-line catalogue and will let you know when this is available for viewing. We also have sketches and miniature gowns. Our charity for this event is Starship Foundation.
