Dress by Designer: Rachel Allan

Dress by Designer: Rachel Allan Taking inspiration from the beautiful fashions of decades past, Rachel Allen has blended the most riveting designs of the last century to create formal gowns with an old world flair. Rachel Allen dresses have a retro aesthetic that has been transformed and updated for the current times. The color schemes, beading and stylish cuts are excellent for milestone occasions like homecoming, prom and graduation parties.

Art Deco Styles

Throughout the Rachel Allen Collection the beaded bodice is a recurring aesthetic. From halter gowns to two piece mermaid style dresses, the art deco beaded bodice serves to elevate these styles to new heights. The art deco beading and rhinestone patterns glitter brightly against shiny satin, flowing chiffon, rippling jersey and delicate lace. Channel all of the excitement and fun of the 1920s in one of these stunning dresses.

Pastels, Chiffon and Florals

The romantic allure of old Hollywood starlets is easy to embrace in one of Rachel Allen's soft, chiffon gowns. Many of these dresses feature a feminine fitted bodice and an A-line skirt that skims the body's curves as it drapes downward. Twirling is mandatory (and irresistible) in these gowns.

Illusion fronts and high necklines amplify the retro aesthetics of the 1940s, while strapless sweetheart necklines, off-the-shoulder cuts and keyhole bodices offer a more modern appeal.

Vibrant Colors and Dazzling Gems

Rachel Allen does not shy away from bright, vibrant colors in rich tones. Plum, coral, royal blue, jade green, ruby red and neon pink are just a few of the colors that make an appearance. These radiant colors in lustrous fabrics are paired with the only detailing that can keep up with them: rhinestones, sequins and intricate beading.

Gems, sequins and beading in all colors, including silver and gold, embellish the skirts and bodices of these gorgeous gowns. The embellishments create magnificent designs like floral patterns and snowflakes.

Jumpsuits and Rompers

Offering a unique twist on women's formal wear, Rachel Allen is also offering jumpsuits and rompers in sleek fabrics and fun prints.
