Finding the Right Clothing for You
From museum-worthy vintage Oscar de la Renta evening dresses and jackets to audacious T-shirts and trousers from provocative punk designer Vivienne Westwood, one thing is abundantly clear: If the clothing available on 1stDibs could talk, it would certainly make a statement.
For fashion lovers, the 1990s have become associated with styles adopted by today’s supermodels and influencers — think Galliano and Cavalli — but maybe ‘80s accessories are among your (guilty?) pleasures. Playful, boldly colored coats and outerwear from Moschino and other titans of the era can take a simpler ensemble to the next level, while chic and practical suits from the likes of Christian Dior and Chanel remain classic for haute couture advocates and beyond. By exploring the vast array of vintage collections on these pages, you can transform your closet into a retreat that is as retro as it is royal.
Velvet cocktail dresses and silk evening gowns designed by French-born American couturiere Pauline Trigère — who dressed Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor — have proven timeless since their mid-century debut, while an overcoat by Alexander McQueen is the perfect finishing touch. In fact, an emerald one stays in rotation for Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge.
Those seeking modern high-fashion brands are also in luck. Turn your day-to-day into a runway with selections from Dolce & Gabbana, Yves Saint Laurent and Versace or complete that fresh look with stunning footwear classics from the likes of Gucci and Christian Louboutin.

- What is a draped gown?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021A draped gown is a single piece of garment that is draped around the body. It is a cutaway or stitched as in a tailored garment. Drape gowns can hold to the body through sashes, pinning, knotting, clasps, belts, tying drawstrings, fibulae, or just friction and gravity. Find a range of vintage and designer draped gowns on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The difference between a drape and a curtain is that drapes are long enough to reach the floor, typically, and are lined with material that is specifically intended to keep out light. Curtains might be short — covering half a window in the kitchen, for example — and while the curtains in your bedroom might keep out some sunlight, they won’t keep out all of it. Drapes are usually made with heavier fabrics such as velvet or a similar material, while curtains usually feature lightweight and sometimes sheer fabrics.
