Fred Perlberg 1940s Black and Gold Evening Dress with Matching Gloves
About the Item
This arresting Fred Perlberg late 1940s or early 1950s black chiffon evening dress with matching gloves is designed to turn heads on the dance floor. Part of its 'creator's lovingly titled range of party and dance dresses "Dance Originals", the emphasis on movement and show stopping glamour is evident in this piece. Thin spaghetti straps support a dramatic horizontal neckline , which is softened by chiffon arranged attractively over the bust line in a cross-over fashion. The bodice is corseted to accentuate the fairytale waistline, which details a simple piped seam before falling away dramatically into the floor sweeping skirt. The high-waisted skirt is fully lined, with a full-circle chiffon overlay. The fabric features a panel of gold sequin embellishment that comes into play just above the knee and runs parallel to the hem. There is a concealed zip fastening to the left of the bodice with a hook and eye closure. The sheer chiffon gloves that accompany the gown are stylishly designed to cover the back of the hand, leaving the fingers exposed. They fold over at the wrist in a pirate style cuff, embellished with a gold sequin trim. The dress is in wonderful condition with no notable flaws. A generous length and would suit a taller silhouette; best fit for a US size 0-2, UK size 6.

- 1950s Ceil Chapman Black Silk Taffeta Full Circle DressBy Ceil ChapmanLocated in London, GBThis is a brilliant example of Ceil Chapman's early work from the late 1940s to early 1950s and the black taffeta silk design is exquisite. Its the first thing you notice about this dress which has the most unusual construction. The skirt's textured element from a distance looks like a floral design but its actually a large number of circular pleated stitched designs. The way the fabric is pulled and stitched creates an almost 3D effect. We have never seen this work before but it would have taken a very skilled seamstress and an incredible amount of time to do it. The dress style is a classic shirtwaister design with three taffeta covered buttons to fasten the bodice which is beautifully shaped and Princess seamed. The sleeves are three quarter length and feature a folded cuff...Category
