Chuck Fashion: Sarah’s Masquerade Gown, Chuck’s Suit, Ellie’s Dress

Another Monday, another round of Chuck fashion questions and answers! With thanks to Chuck costume designer Robin Lewis-West for providing information on these pieces, we’ve sourced some items worn on our favorite show.

Wow, Sarah’s black satin and lace masquerade ball gown was a HUGE hit! We had a ton of inquiries about it, so for Melanie, Jennifer, Sydney, dbriggs, Sara, J.M., Lisa, Marnie, and everyone else who wondered: it’s a Dina Bar-el design from her 2006 evening gown collection. That’s right, it’s from 2006.

But wait! In the course of trying to find a source for purchasing the gown, I sent a query through the designer’s website, thinking perhaps I’d missed it in her lookbook. After some emails back and forth with her assistant explaining the interest in the gown and sharing the photo at left of Yvonne Strahovski wearing it, I received an email from Dina herself saying that she has decided to begin making the dress again! As of last week, she was borrowing the gown from Robin and sourcing the beautiful black lace used on the back.

If you’re interested in purchasing one for yourself, visit Dina Bar-el’s website or Facebook page and watch for an announcement of availability.

This clothing story isn’t as exciting as Sarah’s black dress, but at least getting your hands on the piece is easier! Allie wondered who made the suit Chuck wore to his ill-fated job interviews in “Chuck vs. the Anniversary” and again on the plane in “Chuck vs. the First Fight”. Robin reports that it’s this beautiful two-piece mohair & wool suit from Paul Smith, lined in purple sateen. The double pockets on the right side of the jacket are a neat, modern touch.

Angélique wondered where to find Ellie’s adorable cocktail dress from the engagement party at the end of “Chuck vs. the Cat Squad”. The strapless, tiered ruffle dress is by one of Robin’s “go to” designers, BCBGMaxAzaria, and is available from Saks Fifth Avenue.

Propmaster Scott Bauer, the man who tracked down Sarah’s mission watch for us, is joining the fun here in the fashion column and providing answers for things like sunglasses, watches, jewelry, etc. Watch for that information in the coming weeks, and in the meantime, if you have a burning Chuck fashion question, drop us a line and we’ll do our best to get it answered!
