Hello darling Cherie...lets see your best Evening Wear

[Shearer]

I adore evening wear, even though I'm a bit of a tomboy When I get dressed up I usually go in for the poofy-skirted New Look dress, but I love this wiggle dress to bits. It makes me look about 4 feet tall, but I forgive it because it makes me look like I actually have a decent chest lol It's late 1950's... sadly no maker label. I thought the seller was having me on about the age because it's so modern looking, but I found a union label lurking in the dark recesses of a seam.

Lovely dress, love the illusion top!

If it makes you look short, why not pair it with a pair of 1950s style stilettos?

VERY cute dress! You look fantastic!

My evening wear function is at the end of November, so I'll post a photo then.

By the door behind her..its a hotel...

By the carpet...its a Vegas hotel, on the strip somewhere...somewhere slightly tropical themed...vaguely reminds me of Mandalay Bay...

Dresses!

Here's one - this one is red and white chiffon, it has a separate jacket that has long ties that wrap around. Sorry about the tiny picture, it came off the internet.

And here's a good FAKE vintage dress from Victoria's Secret! Note the lady to the left is wearing the same dress in a different color. I am also noticing that I need better foundation garments, I didn't realize it had navel action! Yikes!

You hit the nail on the head, Neecerie. It was from my Vegas trip and the hotel was the Treasure Island.

Thanks all for the kind compliments!

KittyT - I was all prepared to wear my high heels, but I had a lot of Vegas walking to do, and had already wrecked my feet by then anyway :eusa_doh:

Miss 1929 - that green dress looks stunning with the wrap! So starlet!

Keep the evening wear coming, I love it

Wow, I love that Victoria's Secret dress! Great color.

Just a comment that this thread will -likely- pick up speed after next week...

All the QM attendees won't want to post their current evening gowns til after they wear them there.

I am not sure if this counts but I just sold this dress on ebay. It need steamed to bring it back to life but it was so cool I thought.

Oooo, Red, the back of that dress can only be described as absolutely awesome!

 

[~*Red*~]

Thanks! That was truly my favorite part of the dress.. swish swish!

 

[ShortClara]

I adore evening wear

And it adores you! Gorgeous!

 

[ShortClara]

Wow Red! How did you part with that? You look amazing in it!

 

[Shearer]

And it adores you! Gorgeous!

Why, thanks! I have about 5 minutes of looking okay before the lipstick starts smearing and the hair goes wild.

If we do up Vegas this spring, we'll have to look for a reason to dress up!

(LOVE the new avatar, by the way.)

I won this dress on eBay last year. It was the first vintage dress I'd bought and I definitely got the sizing wrong. Anyway, I've been losing weight the past few months, so I will fit into it, hopefully soon! It's a Gigi Young, silk velvet and it's just gorgeous!

 

[Miss 1929]

You too

Sara you look lovely in that green dress.

In your green dress! I like the color of yours much more!

 

[Shearer]

enough reason in itself to dress up?

I'd like to think so!


Green dresses get me in a tizzy! I've been on the lookout for a deep emerald dress for a loooong time - Miss 1940's, the color on that dress is stunning.

I found this dress on eBay (did NOT buy it, but I wish I had an excuse to) and always thought that it would look great in a dark green colour. Beautiful for a wedding dress, but I think with shorter sleeves and a modified/lower neckline it would be very va-va-voom.
