Rare 1910s Julius Garfinckel Couture Beige Embroidered Sheer Net-Lace Dress Gown

About the Item

Unique mixed-lace dresses from the early 20th century are perennial favorites and this Julius Garfinckel and Co. garment is a showstopper. Garfinckel was a prominent department store based in Washington, D.C. that catered to extremely wealthy clientele. The garment's ethereal silhouette is so modern; the fine fabrics are a treasure trove of needle art. The dress is made up of three different laces which surprisingly work so wonderfully together. I especially adore the blue chenille leave motif embroidery. The 3/4-length sleeve bodice has a gorgeous layered design with dramatic sapphire silk-satin cummerbund. We are excited to add detail pictures so one can appreciate the masterful achievement. A beautiful and angelic piece of wearable fashion history! Measurements Bust: 34-35 inches Waist: 26 inches Hips: 38 inches Total Length: 55 inches This Julius Garfinckel and Co. designer couture dress is in excellent wearable condition with no rips, stains or holes. The garment slips over the head with a wide structured waistband and over 20 hand-set metal hooks. This dress is over 100 years old and is truly spectacular.

A breathtaking Nolan Miller Couture unworn with tags embroidered silk organza sculpted bridal gown dating back to the early 1990's. Nolan Miller was an acclaimed costume designer best known for his work on the long-running series Dynasty. Miller was nominated six times for an Emmy Award, winning 'Outstanding Costumes' in 1984 for the Dynasty series, which also set a fashion trend for glamorous high society gowns. This stunning Nolan Miller creation from his exclusive couture line is the perfect solo in the spotlight 'Barbie Doll' bridal look. This showstopper has serious allure with that hourglass mermaid silhouette. The fabric itself is a masterpiece; the highest quality large-scale ivory floral cutwork embroidered silk organza with a matching ivory silk underlay. I adore the fully corset boned satin trimmed sweetheart plunge strapless with adorable back-bow. A curved nipped waist with fitted mermaid slightly trained skirting creates the perfect amount of drama to this timeless garment. It is impeccably seamed and on the level of modern day haute couture. This would make an epic red carpet or wedding moment.
