Q&A Every Friday with VintageDancer!
Question: Where can I buy the Vintage Bergdorf Goodman Bugle Beaded Cocktail Dress I saw on Pinterest?
Answer: I love Pinterest. I share a lot of great vintage inspired clothes from VintageDancer on there. A few items have gone viral, resulting in thousands of repins. That’s great news — except when the dress everyone loves is sold out EVERYWHERE. Case in point: this dress mislabeled as “Vintage Bergdorf Goodman Bugle Beaded Cocktail Dress.”
Very popular dress, but sold out.
This gorgeous dress is perfect for a 1920s theme party, prom or wedding which is why it is so popular. Unfortunately, I posted the dress which was originally sold by Nordstrom over 2 years ago. I still get questions weekly about where to buy it. In truth, the dress is a Naeem Khan design from the Spring 2012 wedding line. I have searched everywhere, even contacted the designer, and sadly it’s just sold out and not coming back ever. *Sniff sniff.* There are, however, some similar dresses I have found online that are available now (but will also sell out soon, so act fast!) and more are added as I find them:
Cheap costume dress on Amazon
Update: This dress is now being sold as a cheap knock off on Amazon. It is by no means the same beautiful quality of the Naeem Khan dress but for a costume party it will work, just be sure to buy a longer slip for it.
