1950s Blue Floral Wiggle Dress

About the Item

This original 1950s dress has a super feminine silhouette and nicely executed details such as the small, square neckline that features a modesty panel with a sailor collar and bow. The collar is consolidated with a little hexagonal buckle that from a distance looks like it may be diamante but it is a clever use of inverted faceting to create the sparkle. The dress has very short dolman sleeves and is darted and fitted at the waist. The dress has concealed, front pockets and fastens to the side with the original metal zip. The dress appears to be a lightweight man-made crepe fabric that has a soft sheen to it. It is in shades of blue and inky black in a very painterly floral design. The dress isn't lined and retains its original fabric belt. In excellent vintage condition with no issues of any note. No labels are present but the dress has been manufactured, probably in the USA as the belt has some manufacturing stamps to the reverse. Of note is has a good seam allowance and is currently a best fit for around a UK 10 - 12 or US 6-8. MEASUREMENTS Bust - 41 in. (104.1 cm) Waist - 32 in. (81.3 cm) Hip - 38 in.

  • Vintage 1990 Givenchy Haute Couture Sapphire Blue Draped Silk Velvet Dress
    By Givenchy
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Givenchy, the name itself evokes glamour, refined elegance, simplicity and style. Givenchy's trademark of sculpted lines and luxurious fabrics make his work easily recognizable. This gorgeous cocktail, dating back to his 1990 Fall-Winter runway collection, is a beautiful example of his brilliance. The fabric itself is a masterpiece; liquid silk velvet in the prettiest sapphire blue color. I adore the seductive criss-cross plunge bodice with lean, long zipper-wrist sleeves. The sparkling rhinestone-encrusted side buttons create the perfect amount of drama to this timeless piece. An hourglass nipped-waist skirt with side draping finishes this garment off with a perfect femme fatale vibe. It is an exquisite example of wearable luxurious from one of the most important houses of the modern era. Measurements Bust: 36-37 inches Waist: 26 inches Hips: up to 39 inches Sleeve Length: 24 inches Total Length: 46 inches This vintage Givenchy Haute-Couture 72436 numbered dress...
