Down For Gowns

This week has been a good one for me, or generally speaking, this blog. I've been trying to get my name out there again, and last time I did that, I got 65 comments on average on each post. Ah, it's funny how the amount of comments can take over one's life. In other news, I got a Twitter account for Take Me Out to the Runway! If you're on Twitter, take a look here and if you wish, feel free to follow me!

Anyway, I've come to the conclusion that I just may be an online shop-a-holic. Well ... I actually came to that realization quite some time ago, but the magnitude of it has just recently hit me. Let's put this into perspective here: lately, I've been searching all over the internet for senior prom dress designs. Now, that doesn't sound so bad, but it might when I say that my next prom is ... June 2011. Not to mention the fact that my junior prom was only a few weeks ago. The good thing about my obsession is that I've found a ton of beautiful gowns that I'd love to share!




I've been looking at a lot of vintage wedding dresses, and I seem to find that the detailing on the bottoms just fascinate me. All of the layers and lace ... it's like Christmas in my mind. Sorry that I don't have designer names; I just had these photos saved on my computer titled as "kjahgljfshgaksj" and "Untitled_1". Real helpful.




Now, I know the designer for these two. Of course, the fabulous Christian Dior would simply delight my taste in dresses, especially the second one. It looks quite like the one Miley Cyrus wore for the Oscars, no?



Here are some of my other favorites that I stumbled upon:


Givenchy



Balenciaga

My very favorite one, however, is in this month's issue of Harper's BAZAAR on page 66. It's a Cristobal Balenciaga design from the 1950s, and I'm in love with it! I can't find a picture, however, so if someone has one, I would love it if you could send it to me! Check out more 1950s gowns; it is my absolute favorite era for dresses!
