Silver Chain Dress For Sale on 1stDibs

Surely you’ll find the exact vintage or contemporary silver chain dress you’re seeking on 1stDibs — we’ve got a vast assortment for sale. Our collection includes a variety of colors, spanning Black, Silver, Purple and more. Making the right choice when shopping for a silver chain dress may mean looking at versions that date from different eras — you can find early iterations from the 20th Century and a newer version made as recently as the 21st Century, both of which have proven very popular over the years. Finding an appealing accessory such as this — no matter the origin — is easy, but Versace, Dolce Gabbana and Balmain each produced a popular version that is worth a look.

How Much is a Silver Chain Dress?

Prices for a silver chain dress can differ depending upon size, designer and other attributes — on 1stDibs, these accessories begin at $675 and can go as high as $18,200, while, on average they fetch $2,225.

Finding the Right Clothing for You

Start building your collection of covetable and iconic vintage clothing today — no matter where you roam, there is a curated selection of designer dresses and gowns, sweaters, shirts, dazzling shoes and more on 1stDibs that will keep you covered in the hottest styles from head to toe.

From elegant museum-worthy vintage Chanel dresses and jackets to audacious T-shirts and trousers from provocative punk designer Vivienne Westwood, one thing is abundantly clear: If the clothing for sale on 1stDibs could talk, it would certainly make a statement. 

For fashion lovers, the 1990s have become associated with styles adopted by today’s supermodels and influencers — think John Galliano and Roberto Cavalli — but maybe ‘80s accessories are among your (guilty?) pleasures. 

Playful, boldly colored coats and outerwear from Moschino, Ralph Lauren and other titans of the era can take a simpler ensemble to the next level, while chic and practical suits from the likes of Christian Dior and Balmain endure for haute couture advocates and beyond. 

And vintage is the name of the game on today’s red carpets, too. Celebrity stylists are turning to archival pieces created by the likes of Bob Mackie, Thierry Mugler and Jean-Paul Gaultier as alternatives to new gowns plucked straight off the runway. Wearing such sought-after items gives celebrities instant allure and suggests a personal style that’s not only achingly glamorous but intellectually informed and influenced by a love of craftsmanship. 

Those seeking contemporary luxury looks and in-demand street-style fits can indulge in designs by Bottega Veneta, Miu Miu and Loro Piana, while pieces from Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Versace endure as examples of fashion’s most covetable goods. 

The future — and glamorous past — of fashion is yours for the wearing. Find vintage clothing and accessories for sale on 1stDibs, including designs by Balenciaga, Valentino, Celine, Loewe and more.

Questions About Silver Chain Dress
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024
    To know how much your silver chain is worth, you may wish to consult an expert. Silver chains often have value simply based on their materials. When sold in this manner, the price will depend on the overall weight of your necklace and the purity of the silver it is made from. However, your chain may be worth more due to its age, style, maker and other factors. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable jeweler can provide you with an expert opinion on your chain's value. Find a wide range of silver chains on 1stDibs.
