Event Ready

Event Ready is our edit of designer wedding guest dresses, cocktail dresses and special-occasion gowns, for the weddings, galas, fundraisers and black-tie evenings that fill a Washington calendar. Expect jacquard and floral midis from Lela Rose, belted silhouettes from Ramy Brook, pleated and satin dresses from A.L.C., Ulla Johnson and Vince, beaded gowns from Mac Duggal, Badgley Mischka and Marchesa Notte, sequins from Halston Heritage and Chanel, and the earrings and heels to finish.

Occasion dresses are often worn once before they're consigned, so many have plenty of life left, and every one is verified and condition-graded in-house, then photographed in detail, including beading, sequins, zips, linings and hems, so wear is visible before you buy. Bust, waist and length measurements are on each listing, which matters most for gowns and fitted silhouettes. For more styles and prices, browse all our pre-owned designer dresses.
