1960s Green Floral Metallic Brocade Dress

About the Item

This elegant vintage 1960s metallic evening dress is of high-end, British manufactured quality although unlabelled. The opulent and textured brocade fabric has an iris design in alternating two-tone forest green which shimmers in the light with understated glamour. The dress has neat cap sleeves and is superbly tailored to create a classic hourglass silhouette. The bodice is drawn in at the waist and the straight skirt falls snugly over the hip, finishing below the knee, with a short back slit to ease movement. The dress is lined throughout in coordinating green sateen fabric with a concealed zip fastening at the centre reverse. This beautiful cocktail attire is in excellent, barely worn condition. On very close inspection, there are a few, small, copper coloured marks. They blend in so well that they will not detract and I have priced accordingly. Would fit up to a US size 6, UK size 10. MEASUREMENTS: BUST - 35in. (89.5 cm) WAIST - 30 in. (77 cm) HIP - 40 in. (101.5 cm) LENGTH - 42 in. (107 cm) ACROSS SHOULDERS - 15in. (38 cm)

1980s Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche silk floral wrap dress
By Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche
Located in CULEMBORG, GE
This figure flattering, silk, wrap-dress by Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche from 1980* has a beautiful multicolor floral print. The pink, orange and purple flowers surrounded by green leafs are set on a black ground. At the neck, there is an interior tie to close up above the bust. The inside is lined around the shoulders and it comes with a matching sash stitched on the back. Taking a closer look at the Jabot-style collar and ruffled sleeves covered in pink and orange stripes it shows how beautifully constructed Yves Saint Laurent's ready-to-wear items where made. The vivid colors and combination of stripes and flowers give the all together look a funky Parisienne touch: feminine, but rather cool with a touch of romance. The indicated size FR 38 corresponds to a contemporary size S but because of the two strategic placed hooks at the waist it is possible to adjust this dress and therefore it would also fit a size M (FR40). Item measurements (lying flat): Size: FR 38 Shoulders: 50 cm (sleeves incl.) Sleeves: 64 cm (from shoulder) Bust: 45 cm Waist: 35 up to 40 cm Hips: up to 60 cm Length: 100 cm up to 110 cm (back) Model Nieve wears a size S with a 1.80 meter length. All items I sell are being professionally cleaned, pressed and are odor free. We offer free shipping on all (international) orders. * Additional information: When I was gathering information about this lovely silk Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche floral wrap dress...
