Embroidery & Embellishment, From My Fashion Scrapbook

Who is ready for some more fashion inspiration? Here are some beautiful embellished and embroidered haute couture gowns from my fashion scrapbook.
I’m not in love with the styling choice of what appears to be a t-shirt under the ruffled dress (it was the 2010’s I suppose), or some of the dress silhouettes, but these fabric combinations are really striking!

Lovely floral embroidery and light colours perfect for spring and summer.

Contrasted with these darker colours perfect for fall and winter.

Elle Fanning is a celebrity who dresses completely right for her looks- these floaty, delicate details are perfect for her. No wonder she was cast as Aurora!

A more casual style of skirt- 3 tiered- paired with satin is an unexpected combination.

I love pieces like this, that have such a timeless elegance. You could wear something like this forever and with this craftsmanship it would never be out of “style”.

My favourite fashion spread of all time; this beautiful Art Nouveau, Alphonse Mucha inspired photo set from Elle magazine.

The attention to detail and artistry in these photos is incredibly beautiful.


This photo is stunning, and the yellow couture gown is absolutely gorgeous! I always see all of these pretty embroidered gowns for sale on Poshmark, by Needle & Thread and BHLDN and other brands, and they are all so beautiful. I’ll probably never have an occasion to wear something like that, though to be honest, I would probably go for something more simple and classic, even if I did.
Which one of these is your favourite? If you had an occasion, would you choose an embellished or embroidered gown like these, or go for something more minimal?
