Hello darling Cherie...lets see your best Evening Wear

[BegintheBeguine]

Just a comment that this thread will -likely- pick up speed after next week...

All the QM attendees won't want to post their current evening gowns til after they wear them there.

Gowns to show off, ladies?

I'd like to think so!


Green dresses get me in a tizzy! I've been on the lookout for a deep emerald dress for a loooong time - Miss 1940's, the color on that dress is stunning.

I found this dress on eBay (did NOT buy it, but I wish I had an excuse to) and always thought that it would look great in a dark green colour. Beautiful for a wedding dress, but I think with shorter sleeves and a modified/lower neckline it would be very va-va-voom.

For your drooling pleasure:

Love this dress...the details on the back are great! even with the high neckline, it looks like it is curve conscious enough to still have a lot of 'voom

Not truly vintage, but I felt I was chanelling a 1950s film star vibe

I have never worn purple before, but it seemed to work. Amazing thing is, I bought it that morning!

Here's the dress I made for the Queen Mary this year--unironed, alas! It's a bias cut dress from a 1940 pattern. It wouldn't fit on the dress form I actually use so I've had to photograph it on one that is much too small, but hopefully you can get an idea of how it looks. I took hardly any photos at the event, which is too bad, but I have my memories.

That dress is amazing. You gotta love red.
