So, read on for a piece by piece breakdown of how you can copy Agent Carter’s gold evening gown look for yourself!

As anyone who follows me on Tumblr knows, I’m a huge fan of Agent Carter. It’s a wonderful, subversive, feminist show that deserves literally all the awards. Like. All of them. SAG awards. Oscars. Emmys. Nobels. Best New Webcomic. Etc. Literally all of the awards, I tell you. So it’ll come as no surprise if I were to tell you that I spent like, a very long time digging up everything I could on her gold dress. And, let me tell you, the going’s been hard. I feel like the gold dress that she wears in the pilot is just not appreciated enough; so I’ve dedicated an entire post to copying the look with modern things you can buy in stores that don’t require sewing skills, a few yards of lame fabric, and many bitter tears.

Okay, first off, I haven’t seen any decent photos of the entire full-length gown, and… here’s one. Look at it. Look at how glorious it is. It’s glorious. Now, we’ve got a fitted bodice here, with a halter neck, and a long, flowing, pleated skirt. It looks like a dream, to be honest! The lighting is very dark, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the dress is a kind of pale rose gold in color.

The dress has an open back, as well.

Her handbag is, conveniently enough, big enough to store a bomb and also is a very nice white satin with detailed beading. Really, quite lovely, but a bit bigger than what is currently fashionable.
