Ladies Evening Dresses For Sale on 1stDibs

Find an expansive variety of ladies evening dresses available on 1stDibs. All of the items for sale were constructed with extraordinary care, often using platinum, gold and silver. Our inventory is broad and distinctive, with accessories on offer that were made as long ago as the 19th Century to those produced as recently as the 21st Century. There are many different pieces in our collection of ladies evening dresses to choose from, but Art Deco and modern ladies evening dresses are of considerable interest. There have been many well-made iterations of these items over the years, but those made by Movado, Baume & Mercier and Birks and Son are often thought to be among the most beautiful. Lovers of these pieces agree that it’s a versatile accessory, but a selection from our variety of 4 diamond versions can add an especially stylish touch. There are many round cut and mixed cut ladies evening dresses for sale. If you’re browsing the variety of ladies evening dresses for sale, you’ll find that many are available today for women, but there are still pieces to choose from for men.

How Much are Ladies Evening Dresses?

Prices for ladies evening dresses can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, these accessories begin at $327 and can go as high as $36,882, while ladies evening dresses, on average, fetch $1,950.

Finding the Right clothing for You

From museum-worthy vintage Oscar de la Renta evening dresses and jackets to audacious T-shirts and trousers from provocative punk designer Vivienne Westwood, one thing is abundantly clear: If the clothing available on 1stDibs could talk, it would certainly make a statement. 

For fashion lovers, the 1990s have become associated with styles adopted by today’s supermodels and influencers — think Galliano and Cavalli — but maybe ‘80s accessories are among your (guilty?) pleasures. Playful, boldly colored coats and outerwear from Moschino and other titans of the era can take a simpler ensemble to the next level, while chic and practical suits from the likes of Christian Dior and Chanel remain classic for haute couture advocates and beyond. By exploring the vast array of vintage collections on these pages, you can transform your closet into a retreat that is as retro as it is royal. 

Velvet cocktail dresses and silk evening gowns designed by French-born American couturiere Pauline Trigère — who dressed Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor — have proven timeless since their mid-century debut, while an overcoat by Alexander McQueen is the perfect finishing touch. In fact, an emerald one stays in rotation for Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge.

Those seeking modern high-fashion brands are also in luck. Turn your day-to-day into a runway with selections from Dolce & Gabbana, Yves Saint Laurent and Versace or complete that fresh look with stunning footwear classics from the likes of Gucci and Christian Louboutin. The future — and glamorous past — of fashion is yours for the wearing. 

Build your collection of covetable and iconic vintage garments by shopping on 1stDibs. No matter where you roam, our diverse apparel and accessories will keep you covered in the hottest styles and comfiest black hoodie imaginable.
