Dress Paintings

Unlike fashion itself which is temporary and people have a hard time staying ahead of the curve, dress art prints are timeless. Picasso.com has some great artwork featuring outfits that used to be worn by ladies who lived half a century ago, next to wall art depicting the latest outfits. The contrast is obvious, but when displaying dress posters next to each other, it makes little difference what time period they are centered on, because they tend to complement each other.

Not surprisingly, the woman wearing the outfits stands out from the crowd and most of the dress prints are not about the garments alone. They only emphasize the beauty of the girl or woman wearing them, while also shedding some light on the corresponding period of time. This also makes the dress posters an interesting purchase for history buffs and those who want to bring a part of ancient times into their homes without breaking the bank or looking pretentious.
