Designing Woman portrays the story of Marilla Brown (Lauren Bacall), a fashion designer who meets Mike Hagen (Gregory Peck), a sports reporter while on vacation. They hit it off immediately and decide to get married, only to realize they have less in common as the days go on. If you do get the opportunity, I think you should give it a watch because I'm not doing it any justice here. It's refreshing and humorous. Besides, the clothes and style features are so beautiful, you'll be nothing short of inspired (I hope......I know that I was).

So very well put together. I love the different textures and silhouettes going on with these outfits. I believe she wore the second outfit to watch a boxing match. Her hat isjust perfectly tilted at the right angle. I would be a very proud owner of the full skirt in the second photo.

The above outfit stood out to me the most throughout the entire film. Partly because it was featured in what was possibly the longest scene, and partly because I just cannot get over the puffiness of those sleeves. Once again, the full skirt shows up here, even puffier than before.
Anyone know where I can get a skirt of this nature? Any DIY tips? It's so reminiscent of Carolina Herrera no?

Such classic style.. You have to go thrift store hunting to find something like this now
Love those styles and how she carries herself so well
When I see images like this I feel like i was born in the wrong era. I really should be living in the past so that i could dress in such wonderful clothing.
Beautiful photos. So elegant and graceful.
So pretty! Great post!
I adore watching old movies, the dresses and costumes are so gorgeous, over the top and inspiring!
I wish more women these days were that glamorous

@Audrey: I'm sure they'll show it again soon. Keep your eyes peeled.
And I do agree with all of you that the clothes from classic films are gorgeous and inspirational. Would love to wear them today, but imagine how out of place one would look? I have to stick to more subdued vintage pieces.
I've heard of this movie, but this post makes me want to see it even more than I did already!
I highly recommend it Jenni ;)
I just love Lauren Bacall! She was always a paragon of style in her movies.
I completely agree Sitara. Great style
