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 Versace Dress 2002
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Versace does indeed make dresses. Two of its most instantly recognizable dresses are the green jungle-print dress worn by Jennifer Lopez, and ‘that dress’ - a black dress with safety pin accents worn by Elizabeth Hurley. You can shop a collection of vintage and contemporary Versace dresses from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    For a casual look, pair your Versace dress shirt with a nice pair of jeans and your favorite pair of loafers or casual pumps. For a more dressy look, pair it with dress slacks or a fitted skirt and dress shoes or heels. Find authentic Versace pieces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Donatella Versace, the muse of her brother Gianni, became head designer at Versus, a diffusion line of the house of Versace, in 1994. In 1998, a year after her brother’s death, Donatella Versace debuted her first collection for couture fashion brand Versace Atelier. She is known for her breathtaking Jungle Dress that A-list celebrity Jennifer Lopez made famous at the 2000 Grammy Awards. Shop a large collection of Versace couture from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
