Tell CC: which is your fave!?
Do you think we’ll see any of these at the upcoming Inaugural Ball, or will Michelle Obama opt for a more classic solid color?

im too short to those dresses!
Such beatutiful gowns, CC!
Favourites are:
Vivienne Westwood, Giles, Just Cavalli and Missoni.
I think, we'll see something from Marchesa or something like Vivienne Westwood.
Gorgeous!

Oh that Vivienne Westwood is GORGEOUS!!!
Looks perfect for a summer or spring wedding.
Fabulously Broke in the City

Wait. That was Just Cavalli not Vivienne Westwood.
Gorgeous draping and flower print..

the vivienne westwood dress is great...
I'm so excited to see what Michelle Obama chooses. She is still developing her style but I've got my fingers crossed that she'll get it right this time.
the one from MArchesa is love :)
Another gorgeous post.
Thanks so much for your comment.
What we needed
I have to admit I don't like gowns with imprimés very much... I just like the striped one, but I prefer something more fluid if you choose the length...
But the post's great as always ! :)
Stunning! I wish I had a Saturday date.. or the money for such a gown!
xx
those are beautifull CC, I love patterns!
xxx
My fave would have to be Marchesa!
Oh I love maxi dresses, these are grgeous.
Aren't they in for day time on S/S2009???
xoxo
I just adore patterns...and as you know, I just love Matthew Williamson :)
And that Vivienne Westwood is just beautiful!
xo
Gorgeous post, CC!
Have a great weekend: Janet
I love the floral prints, so beautiful :)
I also left you a little something on my blog, darling!

I really like the marchesa one! The print is fantastic.
The black and white dresses are so beautiful!
I'm hoping Michelle Obama will wear something with color.
CC, i can't pick!!!! they are all so lovely. i love love love long gowns.
That Cavalli silk chiffon gown is divine, a beautiful selection though
x
love all the black and white ones!
i LOVE the hugeness of those first two!
Ohhhh beautiful! If only I had an occasion to wear such a garment...great collection, CC x
wow i love the vera wang dress!
So much fun-- I especially love bright, wild prints.
ohhh!!! i love the second picture... its really amazing!
I love the one below the first two. I love the contrast as well :) My manager at work got me a Vivienne Westwood kerchief as a happy new years gift. I attempted to wear it as a bandana but it just didn't do it. Any ideas ?
I died over the sequin stripes ..sigh.dead.
I wish I had a date that I could wear such a beautiful dress. Too often I have something so wonderful to wear and my date will show up looking ready to do yardwork.
I would be interested to see the Catherine Malandrino dress on. It has an interesting cut at the top which would either be amazing or awful.
wow so much here! the first black and white one though took my breath away!!! great post CC. and yes i had a great time dancing! :) thank you again for your sweet comment xx LM
OOOh the sparkly black and grey dress in the 4th row is amazing!
these are so beautiful. I love all of the patterns and colours - amazing.
I like a lot of these!
I love the patterned gowns. I think my favorite is the black and white one.
xo,
d-
I love the ones at the top.
These dresses are amazing!
all of these are gorgeous but i love the vivienne westwood and marchesa ones best i think.
also, thank you for the boots recommendation! i accidentally bought the guess boots (haha i am really dumb) but i will keep my eye on loeffler randall for the future :)
love netaporter!
It's a toss up between Giles, Marcheesa and the Vera Wang.
Ahh, if I had the money, I'd buy all three :)
Have a great week :)
I could definitely do with a patterned dress in graphic black and white - perfect for day or night, winter or summer. xx
Aww thank you! Your last couple of posts are making me desperately lust after the Vivienne Westwood full-length and the Elizabeth and James party dress, though... there are just too many beautiful things in the world!
