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!

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:

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” …
Just a quick post today, a sort of mish-mash of art deco bits and pieces I’ve found while poking around the net for content for our site. The theme? Blue!
