Well, it must be all those award shows, but I find myself on an vintage-inspired evening gown kick and there’s not much I can do about it (other than Google, and search and pore over endless photos of incredible art deco style evening gowns). You might as well enter this tunnel with me, because it is filled with lovely things…
Let’s start here: Marchesa (love), black and gold and deco to the MAX… this is a stunner, no?
Or, hello, let us all take a look at this marvelous red 1930s style evening gown. The belt, the earrings, the figure, the room…. it’s all perfection. WANT.
This silver Monique Lhuillier art deco evening gown is also gorgeous (could work as a wedding gown, though she has lovely actual wedding gown designs as well.)
So now all I have to do is get invited to an award show so I have somewhere to wear one (or all) of these. Anybody need a +1 for the Oscars?

A couple things become immediately clear from this Bonwit Teller ad (pulled from a 1929 issue of Vogue Magazine). First of all, there is no downside to the drama of a long, gorgeous cap veil. Even with (maybe especially with) the sleek lines of a 20s style wedding dress. Secondly, can we bring back “gowned” …
True Story: after months and months of planning, accounting for all details, managing and micromanaging we finally had a lovely wedding that went off without a hitch. Hooray! We were all set to leave for our honeymoon the next day. Hooray! Late afternoon international flight to a perfectly beach-y and remote locale, where we would …
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 we’ve come across that would be perfect for a 20s themed engagement party or art deco engagement shoot. And not just dresses, but a skirt and top too! Marchesa Crystal …

Last up this lovely coral art deco Zac Posen gown. Stretch crepe satin, silk chiffon insets, oh la la! Those sleeves are also weird, and I like it.
