Bubble Hem Dress For Sale on 1stDibs

On 1stDibs, you can find the most appropriate vintage or contemporary bubble hem dress for your needs in our varied inventory. Many people prefer black, but fashion is all about individuality — you can find blue, beige and more options on these pages. Finding the perfect bubble hem dress may mean sifting through those that were made during different time periods — popular versions were made as early as the 20th Century and a newer one, made as recently as the 21st Century, can also be found on the site. There have been many well-made iterations of this accessory over the years, but those made by Oscar De La Renta, Yves Saint Laurent and Chloé are often thought to be among the most stylish.

How Much is a Bubble Hem Dress?

Prices for a bubble hem dress can differ depending upon size, designer and other attributes — on 1stDibs, these accessories begin at $188 and can go as high as $2,400, while, on average they fetch $484.

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.

Questions About Bubble Hem Dress
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024
    The hem of a dress is the bottom edge. Depending on the length of the dress, the hem will fall in different places. With a gown or maxi dress, the hemline is usually between the ankle and floor, while the hemlines of micro and mini dresses brush against the thighs. Explore a large selection of dresses from some of the world's top boutiques on 1stDibs.
