Alfred Bosand 1980s Black One Shoulder Asymmetric Gown with Rhinestone Bow

About the Item

Amazing vintage one sleeved black asymmetric dress by New York designer Alfred Bosand, circa 1980s. Full skirt with a single puffed sleeve. Very avant-garde in style, even for today! Rhinestones set in prongs create a fun bow design at bust. Dress is beautifully hand finished. Alfred studied at Pratt and The Fashion Academy and designed for several other designers before opening his 57th avenue workshop and showroom, which he maintained through his retirement in 1986. His gowns retailed at Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and other high end boutiques. He dressed many celebrities and created the wardrobes for a decade of Miss Americas through the 1960s. Fabric unknown, feels like a mid-weight silk satin. Skirt lined in a light organza-like fabric to hold shape. Made in USA. Shown on a size 2 dress form, best fits an extra small. See measurements. (No size label, likely custom.) Bust (underarm to underarm) 31". Waist 26". Hip open. Length (shoulder seam to hem) 57 1/2". Very good condition, gently worn with no major flaws to note. One rhinestone reads slightly duller than the others in real life, and one has been replaced with a stone of slightly different cut (both extremely hard to notice unless hunting for, see closeups.)
