1960s California Olive Green Chiffon Beaded Dress with Train

About the Item

1960s olive green beaded dress with train by high-end British label, California. The dress is a manmade georgette fabric, probably viscose, with a wide boat neckline that has been embellished with larger crystal cut beads and diamantes interspersed in a swirling design. The dress is a Grecian-style column dress and has no seaming or waistline. It is gently contoured, falling between ankle and mid-calf length. The dress features a beautiful, full-length, gathered train at the back which is separate to the dress and wafts independently. It is cut much lower at the back than the front and has an ethereal appearance. It fastens with the original zip and some hook and eyes along the beaded band. Condition is very good for a dress of this style and age. On close inspection, we note a very small watermark which is entirely lost in the folds on the front of the dress and there are a few tiny pin head holes in the fabric - these are not noticeable when worn and can only been seen with the dress in hand. Will fit a range of sizes up to a UK 10-12 or US 6-8. MEASUREMENTS Bust - 37 in. (94 cm) Waist - 34 in. (86.4 cm) Hip - 38 in. (96.5 cm) Length - 52 in. (132 cm) Shoulders - 14.5 in. (36.8 cm)

  • Documented 1982 Yves Saint Laurent multicolor striped dress
    By Yves Saint Laurent, Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche
    Located in CULEMBORG, GE
    When Yves Saint Laurent visited Morocco for the first time in 1966 it changed his life forever. Struck by its beauty he immediately acquired a house in Marrakech and stayed there at least two times a year to design his collections. Yves Saint Laurent once said: ‘Marrakech opened my eyes to color.’ The colors of the stained glass windows and beamed ceilings of the Bahia Palace in Marrakech are a perfect example what inspired him when designing this particular dress for his Rive Gauche collection that came out in 1982. The exciting mix of vivid colors Yves Saint Laurent used designing this dress have a pattern of vertical stripes in lively red, purple indigo, apple green and Dijon yellow alternated with thin black and white stripes. Adding a pussy bow and bishop sleeves gives the entire look an elegant feel. The high quality silk is in a very good vintage condition and has been professionally cleaned and pressed. The state of this unique Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche dress is very good, only a small piece of the original mother-of-pearl button left hand button has chipped off (see the last photograph), but can be easily replaced. As you wish we can replace this with a new button without charging extra costs. The dress that was also featured in Vogue magazine in a 1982 Yves...
