Get This Old School Floral Brocade Beyonce Dress

Jacelynn Meed
If you have ever seen Beyonce in her retro style then you know how cute she looks wearing that style. If you have seen "Dream Girls" this is the kind of dress she would have worn in the movie. The fact this dress by Elie Tahari is retro tells you one thing, that this is a simple design. The cool thing about simple dresses is that you are able to accessorize them in so many different ways.

This Beyonce retro dress is made of a lightweight virgin wool blend. So, if you can imagine this dress feels so good on and hangs very well. Another nice feature of this dress is that it has a floral tapestry brocade design all over the dress. That might sound like that is a little overkill, but since the floral brocade is all black just like the dress itself it looks amazing! The fact that the floral brocade is the same color as the dress gives it a timeless look that will allow to be able to wear this dress for many years.

The length of this timeless Beyonce dress is short. It is in no way the kind of short that would cause you to look scandalous, but it is short enough to wear go go boots or strappy heels. Also, if you don't like either of those options you can always wear ballet flats would look super cute with this dress. I don't really see her wearing ballet flats, but the dress is the point and the shoes won't change the look too much anyway.

This sleeveless dress is fully lined with a sateen stretch material. I love that this dress has stretch lining because it just allows this dress to be even more comfortable. It has a contemporary fit even though it does have and old school look. There is nothing new under the sun anyway when it comes to fashion.

So how much does this old school Beyonce dress cost? Well, the original retail price was $348.00, but now you are able to get the very same dress for $179.99. Elie Tahari has given us a break in the price so that we can afford to have this find!

Have fun doing your makeup with this dress especially with your eyes. Smoky eyes would look awesome with this dress. Doing the whole smoky look really emulates one of her night time look. You can use silver and charcoal colored eye shadow to get that Beyonce smoky look.
