Finding the Right Evening-dresses for You

With entire museum exhibitions dedicated to examining fashion designers and their creations, we’re finally recognizing that costuming is art. Evening dresses over time have conveyed specific statements about social class, position and beliefs. Fashion is a powerful means of self-expression, and sophisticated vintage evening dresses and gowns by our favorite couturier play no small role in making us feel wonderful but, perhaps more importantly, making us feel like ourselves.

In the 16th century, dresses and gowns were so important that England's Queen Elizabeth I defined rules about what dresses women could wear — guidance included long skirts and fitted bodices. Forward-thinking designers have responded to this history.

Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel reimagined traditionally masculine garments for feminine shapes, and her elegant evening dresses and gowns promoted comfort and grace in women’s wear that had been dominated in the previous century by layers of fabric. Christian Dior's gowns celebrated luxury and femininity in the late 1940s — and gave to women the gift of glamour they’d lost in the miserable years of the war. French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent introduced innovative and highly coveted dress designs in the 1960s while at the same time challenging sexist stereotypes about which members of society could wear tuxedos.

Works by unconventional British designer John Galliano — featured in houses like Givenchy and Dior — redefined limits that dressmakers faced in terms of material, construction and vision during the late 20th century. From his embroidered absinthe-green Oscars gown for actress Nicole Kidman to the iconic sleeveless Dior newspaper dress that Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw made famous, Galliano’s intricate and multifaceted work is reliably collectible and newsworthy

Today’s designers target an increasingly broad audience with their boundary-crossing work, and their tendency to play off of each other’s ideas means that every walk down the runway is also a walk through an entire history of fashion design and dress craftsmanship.

Whether you gravitate toward backless maxi dresses or silk charmeuse gowns by Alexander McQueen or embellished, ruffled floral-print designs by Chloe or Versace, there is an extraordinary collection of vintage and designer evening dresses and gowns waiting for you on 1stDibs.

Other times, the phrase “ball gown” may refer to a specific style of gown, namely, one that features a fitted bodice and a full skirt, often composed of layers of netting and tulle. In this case, “long gown” would be a more general term than “ball gown,” describing any formal full-length dress, and a ball gown would be one type of long gown.

    To tell if a TAG watch is real, first check the serial number, usually found on the back of the case. The Swiss luxury watchmaker offers a serial number warranty checker tool on its website that you can use to determine if the serial number is authentic. Next, examine the glass on the watch face. Genuine TAG Heuer watches feature highly scratch-resistant sapphire glass, so if you notice any fine scratches, the watch is likely a fake. You can also test the glass by placing a few drops of water on it. On an authentic TAG Heuer, you'd expect the water to form an evenly shaped pool due to the properties of the glass. If the water runs or smears, the watch could be a reproduction. Next, double-check that all logos match the official TAG Heuer branding. Finally, turn the crown. If it doesn't move smoothly or feels loose and unsecure, the watch could be a replica. When in doubt, a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert can inspect your timepiece to authenticate it. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of TAG Heuer watches.

    The history of TAG Heuer watches starts humbly. The company was initially called Heuer Watchmaking Inc. and originated in the small town of Saint-Imier, Switzerland, where Edouard Heuer began making silver pocket watches on his family farm in 1860.

    Heuer registered his first patent as Edouard Heuer & Compagnie in 1869 for the oscillating pinion. This keyless winding mechanism revolutionized the chronograph and became the standard for modern watches. Heuer’s interest in sports led to further innovations, as the company produced pocket chronographs for the crowds that gathered at horse races and greyhound races during the 1880s.

    The watchmaker made timepieces for the medical profession and precision chronographs for the dashboards of airplanes and motor vehicles in the following years. It supplied stopwatches to the Olympics during the early 20th century, not long after Edouard’s son, Charles-Auguste Heuer, was installed as head of the company. Its chronograph technology eventually migrated to wrists. In motor racing, Heuer achieved a lofty position, with racers widely preferring its chronographs, and the first iteration of the popular Heuer Autavia was a dashboard timer.

    The brand’s recognition continued to grow in the 1960s — the first Swiss timepiece to travel into space was the Heuer strapped to astronaut John Glenn’s wrist during his historic 1962 orbit around the Earth, and the company’s association with Formula 1 also took shape during the decade. In 1969 — the year that Heuer, Breitling and Hamilton collectively debuted their revolutionary automatic chronographs at Basel Watch Fair — Porsche driver Jo Siffert became Heuer’s official brand ambassador — the first personal sponsorship in F1 history that was non-automotive. The Heuer Autavia chronograph reference 1163T, also known as the “Siffert” in Formula 1 circles, reached legendary status among racing fans, along with the Monaco and Heuer Carrera chronographs. The latter was designed by Edouard’s great-grandson, Jack Heuer, while the now-internationally renowned square-shaped Monaco earned the spotlight when Steve McQueen wore one in the 1970s movie Le Mans. The model was later lovingly dubbed the “McQueen Monaco.”

    TAG is an acronym for "Techniques d'Avant Garde" — it comes from the name of the TAG Group, a private holding company based in Luxembourg that acquired the watchmaker in 1985. TAG Heuer continues to produce high-quality luxury watches with innovative materials, such as titanium, carbon fiber and lab-grown diamonds, underscoring the brand’s commitment to sustainability. After four generations of Heuer family leadership, the company now operates under LVMH.
