VPOD: Vintage Lilli Rubin Wedding Gown and Breaking News


vintage lilli rubin wedding gown

Yesterday, as I was waiting to board my delayed flight in Altanta, a CNN “Breaking News” story on a large overhead monitor caught my attention.

The important “Breaking News?”

Apparently, Kate Middleton was actually seen arriving at her own wedding rehearsal!

THAT’s breaking news?!

Devastating storms in the South. A fire at NASA. Obama releasing his birth certificate. The Royal Wedding and all things related apparently trumps them all.

Short of an earth-shaking calamity that knocks our fair planet from its axis, you can expect coverage of the royal wedding to take top billing from now until long after the “I-do’s.”

And as the world waits with bated dress to finally, FINALLY, discover who’s designed Kate’s gown (and from the way the press is acting you’d think this is most important announcement of the century!), here’s what we do know:

According to WWD, Bruce Oldfield is out of the running. Once the odds-on favorite, he removed himself from the possibles list although he acknowledged that he will be dressing many other guests.

We also know, again according to WWD, that Camilla will be wearing Anna Valentine, the same designer who dressed Camilla for her own nuptials back in 2005.

And, according to a fashion friend who just returned from London on Monday, and who, I might add, is quite disappointed that there won’t be a kiss during the wedding ceremony at Westminster Abbey, predicts that Kate will wear sleeves to show respect for the Church and a voluminous gown that won’t get lost among the cavernous architecture of the wedding site.

And that’s pretty much the direct opposite of today’s VPOD.

This vintage Lilli Rubin wedding dress with its spaghetti straps and sleek silhouette is is far less traditional that what we’ll probably see Kate wearing on Friday. But it’s oh-so-pretty for a modern American bride taking her vows outside a place of worship.

And it could just be love at first sight for a bretrothed vintage fashionista!

Available at Other People’s Property. | Discovered at TheFind.com.

VPOD: Foxy Lady – Vintage 1980s Lilli Rubin Velvet Evening Gown with Fur Trim



The ’80s are coming! The’80s are coming! Well, actually, they’ve already arrived for their second fashion go-round. And while those of you young enough to have missed the first era of leggings, shoulder pads and general excess seem to be embracing the revival, there’s a whole group of older fashionistas who are saying “not again!”

But we can’t really characterize any fashion era as good or bad. Each era has its triumphant moments and also has those items that are best left unresurrected. And really, if you find a great 1980s suit and take out the shoulder pads, there are no fashion police going to arrest you.

Of course, some over-the-top 1980s pieces can be fashionably over-the-top, like today’s VPOD. This 1980s evening gown by Lilli Rubin has it all: lace, velvet, fox fur and sequins. Yet, somehow that mix works itself out beautifully.

It’s a foxy find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Woodland Farms Antiques.
