1950’s Grey & Yellow Silk Ballgown Dress With Gloves

About the Item

This sensational 1950’s silk satin gown in pale grey showcases some magnificent construction and is of incredible quality. The opulent choice of fabric has been expertly tailored and the care and attention to detail is equally apparent on the interior of the piece, with beautiful finishings on the seams and hemming. Silver grey is married with a panel of understated lemon yellow tone silk which is arranged over the hips and navel in a downwards point, accentuating the waistline to flattering effect. There are delicate straps and a sweetheart neckline with a softly ruched bodice gathered over the bust, featuring a lovely silk flower corsage in pale yellow to match the waistband. This dress features a very full length skirt that could potentially be worn with an underskirt for extra volume. There is a concealed zip fastening to the left of the bodice as far as the waist. A real statement piece complete with over the elbow gloves in matching grey silk. It fastens at the side with a zip and is in truly excellent condition - no issues of any note. Would best suit a US size 8, UK size 12. Unlabelled but a high quality American manufactured peice.

  • 1950s Diana Warren White Tulle Dress With Ribbon Appliqué
    By Diana Warren
    Located in London, GB
    A beautiful and timeless original 1950s pure white tulle ribbon appliqué work dress from high-end British boutique label Diana Warren. Classic scoop neck, cap sleeves, a fitted bodice and pleating to the waist, the dress is adorned all over in scrolling ribbon appliqué work over a net overlay. The underskirt lining is a lightweight acetate with a net mid layer. The dress fastens at the back with a metal zip and is styled in the photos without a petticoat. The fullness of the skirt will allow a petticoat of several layers if desired to further accentuate the waist and hips. Truly excellent vintage condition - we have been unable to find a single hole in the lace and all the ribbon is intact. This would be a beautiful vintage bridal dress...
