Every season, we find ourselves fixating on an absolutely gorgeous fancy dress that has absolutely no place in our life.
The dream dress is always way too expensive, usually on a celebrity, and probably not even sold in stores.
Also, unless we crash the Oscars, there’s usually no place to wear it.
Still, none of these annoying protests from the land of reality can keep us from dreaming.
Like an unrequited crush that you stalk on MySpace, we like to look at our unobtainable dream dress on shopping and fashion blogs, imagining a life in which we too get to pose for Style.com’s Look of the Day.
Alison’s Dream Dress is the amazing gold silk one from Vanessa Bruno, which costs $684.
Natalie’s Dream Dress is the Marc by Marc silk faille dress that closed his London runway show, which costs $548.
Faran’s unrealistic frock star is the McQueen gown that Nicole Kidman wore to the Country Music Awards.
And you?

any of the fanciful gowns that olivier did for nina ricci.
Carolina Herrera’s swimming ladies dress that Katie Holmes wore on the cover of Vogue a few years back.
Still hunting that one down…
lanvin ss 08!!
I went to Tracy Feith a couple of weeks ago and there was a beautiful strapless floral dress, very long and with a beautiful floral print. Torture…..Someone in the Hamptons with moola will be rocking it, no doubt. :(
the nan kempner couture valentino gown & pretty much every herve leger dress i’ve ever fell in love with.
I’m obsessing over a gorgeous vintage Pucci right now. (I’m tired of fall already.)
But the ultimate can’t-afford-it, can’t-find-it, would-never-have-a-reason-to-wear-it dress has been a constant for me since 1998. It’s that slinky, fringed, embroidered fuschia Dior that I’ve forgotten the name of. (Adele? Arcee? Alycee? Arcell?) Whatever it’s called, Gisele wore it to the AngloMania gala.
I feel like I’m stalking it!
Wait for the Tracy Feith sample sales. The last one in September dresses were 50-125
Fall 2006 Alexander McQueen had a dress so stunningly perfect that if I can ever find it, I will wear it as my wedding dress. It was an ivory empire waist dress with black victorian lace and beading that gradually engulfed the dress from the bust down until it engulfed the hem. I have saved every photo of it I can find. Freja wore it on the runway and had an avant garde bird hat masking part of her face. It can be seen on style.com but it could have been purchased on n-a-p for like $8000 or something astronomical.
FWD from the Chinoise collection?
thanks guest, that was sweet!
Anything and everything Alaïa.
I was lucky enough to acquire one from someone who obviously didn’t know its value, and it is by far the most beautiful, well-crafted garment I own. Finding an occasion to wear it has been tricky… so far only the Staatsoper in Wien.
That blue and silver beaded gown that Jennifer Garner is wearing on the cover of this month’s Glamour.
i still obsessed wit the hot pink armani dress rihanna wore to the MTV AWARDS…i want the dress for my prom.. by the way DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY GOOD SHOPS OR BOUTIQUES I CAN FIND A DRESS FOR MY PROM THIS YEAR??…PLZ?
I’m also madly in love with Nic’s McQueen. Love. It.
My dream dress would be this Rochas wedding gown by Olivier Theyskens
