Gown Gowns For Sale on 1stDibs
On 1stDibs, there are many options to choose from in our collection of gown gowns. If you’re looking for Black gown gowns and you’re unable to find the right fit, there are plenty of variations in Gray, Beige and more. Making the right choice when shopping for these accessories may mean looking at versions that date from different eras — you can find early iterations from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 21st Century, all of which have proven very popular over the years. Finding appealing gown gowns such as these — no matter the origin — is easy, but Dolce & Gabbana, Yves Saint Laurent and Christian Dior each produced popular versions that are worth a look. When shopping for these accessories, you’ll find that there are less available pieces for men or unisex today than there are for women.
How Much are Gown Gowns?
The prices for gown gowns start at $1 and top out at $150,000 with these items, on average, selling for $1,136.
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.
Questions About Gown Gowns
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024There really isn't a difference between a cocktail gown and an evening gown. Both terms describe a full-length formal dress designed for evenings and special occasions. On the other hand, a cocktail dress or evening dress is a less formal garment that usually falls between just above and just below the knees and is suitable for evening wear. Explore a wide variety of cocktail dresses and evening gowns on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between a ball gown and a long gown depends on the context. Some people may use these two terms interchangeably as names for any full-length dress suitable for formal evening wear. 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. Explore a collection of evening gowns on 1stDibs.
