1960s Lancetti Haute Couture Gold Silk and Lurex Beaded Dress Suit
About the Item
This haute couture dress suit was created in the 1960s by Italian 'Alta Moda' label Lancetti. Founded in 1961, Pino Lancetti earned the nickname “tailor painter” for his collections inspired by renowned painters, creating clothes for Royal Princesses and the Italian glitterati during the 1960s and 1970s. Notable clients included Princess Soraya, Queen Paola of Belgium and Salima Aga Khan.
The slip dress is cut from silk chiffon, lined in Habotai silk and the cocooning jacket is tailored the same length. Labelled inside the slip, it reads “LANCETTI ROMA”. The hand-crafted details of the jacket lend it an artistic quality, with delicate beadwork and sequins forming floral motifs across a wave-stitched web of metallic thread. A single hook-and-eye clasp secures the jacket at the neck. This couture piece is in very good to excellent vintage condition; there are some miniscule pinholes on the front of the slip and some very well executed repairs to the chiffon and organza fabric of the jacket. We could only see these when the ensemble was in hand as they are undetectable when worn. The slip is a best fit for a UK size 8, US 4 although the jacket, which is oversized would fit sizes bigger.

- 1990s Couture Silk Floral Rose Print Dress and Jacket SuitLocated in London, GBThis enchanting 1990s printed silk 2 piece set is comprised of a simple shift dress and bolero to be worn as either as an ensemble or separates. The aesthetic is playful, summery and feminine and presents easily as formal or informal attire. The soft ivory silk is slightly embossed with an irregular texture atop a vibrant rose print design in sugar pink, canary yellow, sapphire blue and emerald green. The dress is sleeveless and broad straps are gathered at the shoulders. The full circle skirt is gathered into tight uniform pleats below the waist and flares generously to the calf. The hem is fluted in yellow satin to match the pretty satin rosette embellishments that feature on the waistband and atop of each shoulder. The bodice is lined in ivory silk. The jacket has three quarter length sleeves which are gathered at the shoulder and the cuff to create an understated fairytale puff. The wide cuffs are embellished with satin rosettes to complement those on the dress, and the seams are fluted in matching yellow ribbon. This piece has a collarless round neck and falls into a central button stand which curves at the hem and hosts 4 x yellow lucite buttons. Tailoring below the bust brings the jacket neatly in at the waist when fastened, and a pretty peplum flares out over the hips. The peplum detail becomes more exaggerated at the reverse, where it is gathered into pleats to mirror the skirt. In pristine vintage condition, this charming set would best suit a US size 4, UK size 8 or smaller. Unlabelled couture...Category
