Today’s post is about art deco dresses (though not art deco wedding dresses: they get a separate category). These are just some gorgeous vintage looks I’ve come across that I feel like would be totally perfect for a 20s themed engagement party or art deco engagement shoot. And not just dresses, but a skirt and top too!
I’ve had my eyes peeled for art deco inspiration ever since I started this blog, and when I saw these guys I had to bookmark them. I keep wishing I had an awesome Great Gatsby themed event to wear all of these too. I’d do multiple costume changes. Though, to be honest.. who needs a themed event?! These are pretties I would pretty much wear anywhere, anytime I got the chance. Starting with this 20s style Marchesa gown. I would wear this to McDonalds if someone would buy it for me. I would wear it to the movies. I would wear it to the drugstore. I would wear it anywhere and everywhere. Crystal and beading and oh-my-goodness take a look:
Marchesa Crystal and bead-embellished silk-chiffon gown (now ON SALE at The Outnet for 70% off, so… jump on that, if you’re in the market for awesome.)

These next tops come to us via Miss Selfridge, and they are just lovely. On this first one, I was just so struck by the color and that pearl beading… it’s gorgeous!
And this is another gorgeous look: a sheer art deco blouse, also from Miss Selfridge:
And finally, if you’re in the mood for true vintage and not just retro inspiration, check out this beauty from Palm Beach Vintage. Pretty as a picture, with roaring twenties peacock colors and intact sequins, this is a gem of a find (and they’ve got a lot of interesting sequin-trivia as well!).
