New at Couture Allure - Vintage Designer Dresses

New this week at Couture Allure are some real beauties! Enjoy!

This vintage 1980's dress by Thierry Mugler features one of his iconic designs - the pointed shoulder. This style was the inspiration for several couture houses for 2009. Case in point - Victoria Beckham in Pierre Balmain 2009.

See what I mean? Why not spend thousands less and own an original???

How about a bit of "Ladies Who Lunch" elegance with this 1960's silk dress with white mink fur cuffs?


For you Rockabilly gals, I added this vintage 50's circle skirt in genuine tropical print barkcloth.

I found another vintage 70's Catherine Ogust dress, this one in an unusual colorway I've not seen before.

Abe Schrader fashioned this 1960's silk ruffle hem dress after a Dior original.

Speaking of unusual prints, how about this 1960's psychedelic silk print shift dress by Larry Aldrich? Love it, love it!
