THERE IS NO SIZE TAG BUT JUST THINK EXTRA SMALL!

Herve Leger dresses are very dependable. They always look sexy. They always suck you in. They are easy for travel. They never go out of style as long as your body doesn't go out of style. Etc. However, there are Herve dresses and then there are Herve Leger Couture dresses from the late 1980s and early 1990s such as the eggplant beauty below. These dresses cannot be duplicated today. Herve Leger by Max Azria offers great affordable versions of Herve Leger's original bandage designs, but Couture is Couture and this is the real deal. Labeled Herve Leger Couture somehow the size tag is missing which means TINY! The eggplant bandage top attaches to a divine mousseline tiered hand-finished handkerchief hemline skirt. The combo of the ultra sexy and severe top with fluid and feminine bottom makes this Herve Leger extra special. The caveat is you better be narrow rib caged as this is one wickedly narrow dress that requires a wickedly petite and elite physique. We know that body exists within the Decades Student Body!

OMG ODLR

We love a strapless Oscar de la Renta pistachio Goddess gown that can handle an ample bust without looking like your boobs are on a dinner platter. ODLR masterfully drapes the bust to support your assets yet gives them a modest display. In other words, they don't disappear and they don't take over. The rest of the strapless crepe dress is classic Grecian styling that is always so desirable in an unexpected color.

NO HOLDS BARRED

Cameron Silver EXPOSED in New York Social Diary

CLASSIC AND RATIONAL

We have previously rejoiced at Halston's reinvention of classical attire that reminds us of the Rational Dress Movement. These monastic gowns that silhouette and drape the body seductively are the epitome of effortless elegance. The bronze liquid metal silk gown below is completely rational, classical, elegant, and sexy. Wear it barefoot at home for a dinner party. Throw on sandals for a holiday in Mykonos. Heels and bold statement jewels will turn this into an unconventional yet rational black tie option. The fabric drapes particularly well and is so light, making it ideal for travel. Seasonless and ageless, this dress is forever, which is very rational indeed!

Halston liquid bronze classic evening gown on bias with natural drape, c. late 1970s. Modern size 4 to 8. Provenance Mrs. Norton Simon (Jennifer Jones) SOLD

HERVE TIMES FIVE

Herve Leger original Couture dresses are sublime and we have five extraordinary examples in pristine condition looking for the right size zero to two bodies. These are on the small size and the original owner joked that it took two people to get her into each bandage dress! But once it was on she felt fabulous and said they are comfortable! We will post individual photos of each evening dress in the coming week, but here is a sneak peak. Herve Leger Couture iconic bandage dresses, c. late 1980s to early 1990s. Some marked size Small, all fit a modern Zero to Two.

Blass Goes East... Far East!

Kimono is not the first thing that comes to mind when you hear Bill Blass, but that's what makes this one so very special! This metallic Kimono dress with rhinestone encrusted obi/belt will be an unexpected but stunningly beautiful addition to any holiday party this season. The gown is constructed like a simple wrap dress, so for once the stylist or "significant other" in your life will not need to help "get you into it."

*Side note; the first picture is of Sarah Jessica Parker wearing a very similar dress to a Halston Show in NYC. Very chic choice!

Orange You Glad!

While everyone is dressed in knits and wools for Thanksgiving dinner why not change it up a bit and dress to impress with this gorgeous Anonymous gown from the 30's. Fit for a Thanksgiving princess, this beautifully sewn gown will upstage any Bird.

The burnt orange material has thin metallic threads sewn in a vertical pattern, while the arm holes, drape like cascading waterfalls. The back of this dress is the creme of the crop with an opening to show off that sexy figure, perfectly fastened with three rhinestones buttons. When a dress with such life comes in, a few wears and tears (near the arm opening to be exact) are not reversible, but that does not make it any less stunning as the first day it was made.

Anonymous Burnt Orange gown with metallic thread and water fall draped arm holes. c. 30's. Modern size 4.SOLD TO SOMEONE SOUTHERN AND CHARMING!

It's Tuesday, Nov 2nd so VOTE FOR DECADES DENIM

The Decades Denim website and E-store is up and ready for you to vote with your credit card :)

WE SAY VOTE!!!

Today, many Americans are going to the polls to vote for the Mid-term elections. Turn-out tends to be dismal so perhaps we need a mascot to encourage our fellow Americans to get out and vote? (Team Decades does it be absentee by the way so we practice what we preach). Our "Get Out And Vote" mascot might wear this Thierry Mugler black leather motorcycle dress because it means business and probably motivates and maybe even intimidates (to vote) in a non-partisan manner, naturally.

The fitted leather dress has one long zipper down the front and a very Mugler curve and point collar, along with quilted stitching, bust darts, and zippered pockets at the hips. It means business. It means sexy. It may even mean Democracy! Wear it open over a pair of Decades Denim Angelique jeans (our pocketless skinny) with a t-shirt as a coat; or out and about as a sexy second-skin dress, this Mugler gets our vote for Dress of the Day and wins by a landslide. V for Victory. But seriously, get out and Vote.

Thierry Mugler black leather moto-dress, c. 1980s. Marked size 40, modern 4 to 6
