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!
…this art deco silk flapper skirt by Alberta Ferretti. Um, YES PLEASE. It looks a bit like pleating in the photo, but no: per the description, it is in fact flapper fabulous “knotted fringing.” Add that gorgeous art deco crystal pattern at the top, and you’ve got the perfect roaring twenties look.
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!).

Whether you’re hosting, guesting or just going out for …
Well, the trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s long-awaited (or long-dreaded, depending on your tastes…) version of The Great Gatsby is here! That is… well, it is interesting. Interestingly scored, interestingly cast… there will certainly be lots to look at, style-wise. The Great Gatsby is a perennial favorite for vintage-wedding inspiration, and there is certainly a lot …
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 …
A little over a week to Halloween, hopefully some costume ideas are coalescing for everyone. Perhaps you’re ahead of the curve and already have your costume planned, purchased and prepped… but for those of us who tend to procrastinate, we’ve pulled together some perfect pieces to create the ideal flapper Halloween costume. Going for a …
