Will you be watching the Oscars on Sunday? Here’s a roundup of my posts on red carpet dressing.

Hervé L. Leroux for Guy Laroche – Hilary Swank chose her Oscars gown from Leroux’s debut collection for Laroche. Vogue Patterns released two designs from this collection: cocktail dress V2899 and a backless evening pantsuit. (Bonus: check out this red Laroche gown on 1stdibs.)

  1. The suit that Fonda is wearing still brings a smile to my face. It’s one of the few times as a kid I saw something on television and went “I want to sew that”. It took me a few years before I had a jacket like that.
