Vintage 1950's Lee Claire Aqua-Blue Silk Ruched Asymmetric Draped Cocktail Dress

About the Item

With its vivid aqua-blue color and flawless sculpted silhouette, this Lee Claire designer cocktail dress has the sophisticated elegance the 1950's were known for. The construction is clearly inspired by the draping techniques of Charles James or Madame Gres. The gorgeous mid-weight silk satin fabric can also work for any event, all year round. The bodice is an alluring thin-strap ruched design which is oh so flattering. The hourglass belted sash-waist flows into an asymmetric skirted drape which really finishes this masterpiece off with a perfect couture feel. This would make a fantastic 'something blue' moment or a chic wedding guest look! Measurement Bust: 34-35 inches Waist: 26 inches Hips: up to 42 inches Total Length: 48 inches This Lee Claire designer party dress is in beautiful condition with no rips, holes or alternations. Perfectly working back metal-zipper and inner boning. Only sign of age is slight wear by the underarms. Please message for detailed pictures. This garment is over 60 years old and is truly stunning.

    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.
