Camp To Vamp!

These new arrivals at Decades run the gamut from the ridiculous to the sublime. The Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche pouffy dress shown below was a runway sample, but the exquisite details--scalloped tulle layers, hand-assembled marabou feather flowers, a fierce interior construction--rival the artistry of even the finest haute couture. This is a dress for a fashion eccentric, and a contemporary size 4 at that.

Not to be outdone, this Chanel Boutique creation by Karl Lagerfeld shows some skin in all the right places! It's a full-length dress with sheer drapes around the lower legs and sheer faux-cocoon sleeves... one of the best Chanel gowns we've seen. Tie it at the bust for a little extra coverage, or leave it undone on a particularly sultry evening (we've photographed it both ways). Fits a size 4 to 6.
