Are we all tired of wedding dresses?
And more reader inquiries.
Wedding Guest Dresses
It seems people are perpetually looking for wedding dresses that aren’t reflective of the same 10 iterations you see on a fifteen-page scroll on Revolve.
If paid subscribers are interested in me putting together a list of brands/keywords to search for wedding guest dresses specifically, send me a message or comment below. If there’s enough interest, I’ll get started on it.
I think Milly is a little slept on. Go on eBay or The Real Real and search ‘Milly Silk’ and enjoy.
Same note above applies, but with Calypso St. Barth. Bonus that this dress is under $55.
I want this Tibi dress, but so it goes, it is not my size.
Power color.
Caché 90s dresses are the bias cut dresses of your dreams.
Tin Man but powerful. If silver is your color, this is it.
Another Caché option.
Dresses from this brand are going for a lot more on The RealReal and even more when you purchase new. It’s flirty, fun, and a steal. If it were my size, you wouldn’t be seeing it.
Natalia Spotts did a great video on vintage silk brands to check out (and she’s a dream guest curator).
I really love Tadashi and I really love this style of dress from them. I haven’t had a reason to need one but I hope someday in the future I do.
The straps and the brooch are really nice details.
Get the right slip under this and I’d wear it year-round.
For the mermaids.
The silk you can get on eBay for the prices you can get it for… unparalleled.
You can never go wrong with Sue Wong.
Okay this is also for the mermaids.
Really like the second photo they used, hope it’s real and not AI.
I want to wear heels that clack and run around the city streets in this. Accessorize your heart out!
For anyone who runs in petite sizing and loves Barbie pink.
Just bought something similar.
“All Things Satin” & “Fun Summer Purses” (I’m choosing to group these together)
Fiorucci Vintage PVC Vinyl Shopping Bag Pink Orange Tote 1990 Made in Italy
Vintage SilkScapes Quilted Multi Hand Painted Silk Bulb Bag with Matching Scarf
Vintage Bijoux Terner Red Satin Beaded Clutch Silver Kiss Lock (Perfect for when you need just a lip liner)
Vintage Lord & Taylor Beaded Satin Evening Bag Plum Wine Merlot Beaded Handle
MISSONI 80s Vintage Beach Bag Striped Waxed Multicoloured Weaves & Big Pouch
Last but not least, these Chanel bags (one and two) are always a fan favorite.
I put together a round-up of satin bags the other week, linked here.
You can also go on eBay and/or Etsy and search ‘satin beaded vintage bag’ and enjoy!
Sneak peek at part two…
Sconces also seem to be a common request.
I wish I could find a set for you.
“I’ve been trying to find something to decorate my kitchen with - hanging iron trivets perhaps?”
I’d get a piece of fabric and drape it on this and use it as a fruit or vegetable holder.
I’ve shared a few of these trivets before; I think it could be cute on a wall and also very useful.
that BCBG watercolor dress was my prom dress (circa 2010)! I still love it
I picked up the chrome trivet holder, thank you so much for leading me to it!
