The Pocket Trend

A lifetime ago when I was in the initial stages of planning a wedding, I watched the Bette Davis tour de fierce All About Eve. During the party scene Bette reaches into the folds of her velvet dress and produces a pack of cigarettes. There were pockets in the dress. From that point on I was obsessed with putting pockets in my wedding dress. It seemed the right place to tuck a lipstick or nervous hands. In the end the silhouette of my dress did not allow for the pockets and I was sad for a time but rallied.
In the last year pocketed dresses have started making their way down the red carpet. I understand the appeal.
Evening gowns with pockets? I vote yes.
ol girl in the jcrew pocket wed dress appears to be planning a shotgun wedding.
I thought the same thing! Ha! Maybe it’s a subtle hint… an offering of a maternity bridal gown without being explicit.
