ah, movie dresses.

Where do you see the most outstanding dresses of all time? In the movies, of course. Don't you wish you had the costume designer all of these heroines, from cartoon fairytales to real-life films, had? Cinderella's pink dream of a gown, all mouse-made...Milly's quilted wonder in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers...the list could go on.

I thought it would be fun to show you some of my favorites. :)



Grace Kelly's flowered chiffon in High Society

I have never actually seen this movie, but I was looking up pictures of Grace Kelly for my Heroines of Style post awhile ago, and this ^^ dress caught my eye. Anyone seen High Society? Do you recommend it? I just might watch it...to see this dress..;) Isn't it a dream?


Cinderella's pink dress in Cinderella

I don't know about you, but I like Cinderella's first dress a whole lot better than the second. Sure, the bows are a little much, but..it's basically a little girl's dream, right? ;)


Victoria's pale yellow dress from The Young Victoria

Victoria's intricate lilac gown

^^ These dresses top my list of "amazing movie costumes," hands down. Every single gown Victoria wears is as pretty as the last--my favorite is the yellow one. Definitley only for a Queen--but how she wears it! Simple gorgeous. And I can't resist showing you the wedding gown...;)



*sigh* :)


Milly's quilted dress in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

What a unique outfit. ^ :) I love all of Milly's dresses in this movie--they are so lovely and puffy and feminine! The quilted one is by far my fave, though. :]


Emma's sprigged yellow in Emma

I absolutely love all of Emma's dresses in this 2010 Romola Garai rendition. A few of them are a little lower cut than would be my preference, but overall they are adorable! The sprigged yellow she wears for most of the movie is very pretty.


Nikki's white cotton in The Moonspinners

Not a very good photo of it here, but this dress ^ is actually super cute. The Moonspinners is one of my Hayley Mills faves, and..this is the only cute thing she wears the whole time, actually. :P Think pink jump suit..:]


Liesel's shimmery white dancing dress in The Sound of Music

Just looking at this ^ dress makes me want to dance. :) Doesn't it look amazing to twirl in? I have always loved it. <3


Buttercup's wedding dress in The Princess Bride

BEAUTIFUL. ^^ Only word for it. :)


Audrey Hepburn's "Egyptian" ballgown in My Fair Lady

..her elegant horse race attire

Thank you to my readers for this reminder. :) I *love* all of the costumes in this movie--especially the horse race outfits for all of the ladies. Simply breathtaking!

If I remember any more, I'll do a second post. Ah, you just can't beat movie dresses, can you? :)

*sigh*
