1970s George Halley Metallic Paisley Evening Gown High Neck 70s Couture Dress

By George Halley

Located in San Diego, CA

Approximately Size Small Measurements: Bust: 34 inches Waist: 24 to 25 inches Hips: 37 inches Length (top back shoulder to hem): 54.5 inches An elegant and beautifully constructed vintage early 1970s George Halley metallic paisley gown / maxi dress, embodying the refined, romantic aesthetic of boutique American designer fashion from the era. This piece features a tailored bodice with a high neckline and decorative mock button front, offering a structured, polished look while maintaining comfort. The true closure is a hidden zipper up the back with hook-and-eye, allowing for a clean, uninterrupted front silhouette. The fabric is a softly luminous, semi-sheer textile with a delicate metallic-infused paisley motif in earthy tones of sage, gold, champagne, and warm neutrals. The bodice is fitted through the waist, while the skirt falls into a gently gathered, flowing silhouette that moves effortlessly. The sheer sleeves add an ethereal quality, giving the dress depth, lightness, and movement. In great condition. The interior label reads Claudia by George Halley, a boutique line known for producing feminine, well-crafted garments with elevated detailing during the 1970s. ⸻ Designer Background George Halley was known for creating refined, feminine designs often sold through upscale boutiques. His work reflects the more sophisticated side of 1970s fashion—balancing romantic silhouettes with tailored structure. Pieces under his labels, including Claudia, are increasingly appreciated for their craftsmanship, wearability, and timeless appeal. ⸻ Why This Piece Stands Out • High neckline with strong vintage appeal • Mock button front adds visual structure without bulk • Metallic paisley textile catches light beautifully • Sheer sleeves create contrast and softness • Classic silhouette that translates seamlessly to modern styling ⸻ Key Features • Designer: George Halley • Label: Claudia by George Halley • Era: 1970s • High neckline • Mock button front (non-functional) • Hidden back zipper with hook-and-eye closure • Sheer long sleeves • Metallic paisley print • Fully lined body ⸻ Measurements Bust: 34 inches Waist: 24 to 25 inches Hips: 37 inches Length (top back shoulder to hem): 54.5 inches ⸻ Size Estimate Best fits a Size Small ⸻ 1970s George Halley dress Claudia label vintage maxi dress metallic paisley dress high neck vintage gown long sleeve...

ODICINI COUTURE Little Black Dress with Floral Detailed Raffia Hem, c. 1990s

ODICINI COUTURE Little Black Dress with Floral Detailed Raffia Hem, c. 1990s

By Andrea Odicini, Odicini Couture

Located in Munich, DE

Oh! Jackie proudly presents a sophisticated c. 1990s ODICINI COUTURE little black dress. Such a beautiful design with unique and lovely details! As not everyone might be familiar with the designer behind this very successful Italian couture label, following some words about Andrea Odicini: "The Genoese couturier is of incredible refinement and one of the most important ambassadors of haute couture. Witty, elegant, reserved, and at times elusive, Andrea Odicini is one of the leading figures in Italian high fashion. Uninterested in the spotlight often demanded by his profession, Odicini has earned recognition among an exclusive international clientele. It was in Paris that Andrea Odicini began his career, which later flourished in New York, London, and Monte Carlo. Some still recall how, in 1978, his dresses displayed in the windows of Bergdorf Goodman sold out within hours. Present on the haute couture calendar for many years, he eventually chose to withdraw from the public stage and remain in his hometown of Genoa, where his atelier is still located in a historic building in the city center. Those who seek one of his creations must visit him personally, as do the elegant ladies from Milan to Monte Carlo, Paris to Portofino, who trust his talent. Among them are notable figures, including the Princess of Kent and the Duchess of Marlborough." – From the book "Andrea Odicini" by Rizzoli At first sight this is a classic and elegant Odicini Couture dress tailored to couture standards from a high-quality structured black fabric with a subtle sheen. Cut simply, it ends just below the knee and features a round neck and cap sleeves with small shoulder pads. But, what makes it exceptional and outstanding is the wide row of black raffia fringes that highlights the hem and gives the dress just the perfect amount of weight, depth and movement. So when you move, it creates that typical rustling raffia sound. I love, that hidden between the plain raffia ribbons some with small black fabric flowers decorated ones are placed here and there. They catch your eye and add that certain-something effect. The dress is lined throughout with a fine black silk and closes with a back hidden set zipper. Tagged an Italian vintage size 46. Excellent vintage condition. Appears unworn. Shoulders: 40 cm – 15.75" (seam to seam) Bust: 100 cm – 39.37" Waist: 90 cm – 35.43" Hips: 100 cm – 39.37" Length: 100 cm – 39.37" (including raffia) / 79 cm – 31.10" (without raffia) Measurements are taken flat across from side seam to side seam and then DOUBLED for bust, waist and hips.
