Vintage 1970s Black Fully-Beaded Silk Satin Halter Custom Couture Disco Jumpsuit

About the Item

An ultra chic and incredibly timeless custom couture black fully-beaded jumpsuit dating back to the late 1970's. This captivating showstopper was designed by the famous 'J & M Costumers' in Hollywood; who still do specialized work for the entertainment industry. From the high quality to the intricate details, this luxurious jumpsuit was most likely designed for a principle actress in a glamorous disco film or television variety show. The fabrication is truly magnificent; sparkling black glass-beads hand sewn onto the most luxurious mid-weight silk satin. Totally has that Cher in Bob Mackie meets Halston diva vibe! The seductive low-cut plunge halter bodice has built-in boning and supporting cups which can be removed if desired. I love the hourglass nipped-waist with interior waist stay. The relaxed trouser style pant is so flattering and reads very current. A work of wearable art by a wonderful Hollywood couturier. Measurements Bust: 34-36 inches Waist: 27-28 inches Hips: up to 40 inches Total Length: 60 inches Pant Inseam: 34 inches This gorgeous late 1970's J & M Costumers custom couture fully-beaded jumpsuit is in excellent wearable condition. Presents beautifully. It is true couture made with real glass beads, so the garment weighs around ten pounds. Incredible work. Original back zipper in place. Completely lined in silk and bodice boning. A stunning unforgettable look!

  • Vintage 1970s Sant' Angelo Burgundy Draped Chiffon Bodysuit & Fringed Maxi Skirt
    By Giorgio di Sant' Angelo
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Incredibly stunning and highly desirable Giorgio Sant' Angelo designer bodysuit ensemble dating back to the late 1970's. He first hit the fashion scene when Diana Vreeland asked him to design clothing for a desert location shoot that starred Verushka in 1968. This shoot is legendary and his clothing was instantly sought out by all the most fashionable women on the planet. Sant' Angelo was the winner of two Coty Awards and two Council of Fashion Designers of America honors. He has had an entire museum exhibit dedicated to his work and will go down in history as one of the great American designers. This seductive two-piece set is a perfect example of his genius. I love the low-cut plunging draped bodysuit as a wardrobe staple. Would also look fantastic with trousers or jeans! The interior is a stretch jersey in a matching burgundy hue so when you put it on, the bodysuit molds to your bod in the most comfortable way. The sleeves are cut long and the draped backless bodice flows into the sash which wraps around the waist. Such a smart design! The matching high-waist embroidered fringe maxi skirt finishes the look off effortlessly. Sant' Angelo once said, "I am not a fashion designer but an artist who works in fashion engineer of form." We added many pictures so you can appreciate this masterful achievement. Measurements Bodysuit (varies due to stretch) Bust: 34-38 inches Waist: 26-30 inches Sleeve Length: 24 inches Skirt Waist: 28 inches Hips: up to 42 inches Total Length: 44 inches This vintage Giorgio di Sant...
