1930's Fashion Originators Guild Rhinestone Studded Floral Silk Neck-Bow Gown

About the Item

A gorgeous and highly collectible Fashion Originators Guild colorful floral maxi dress with the most impressive rhinestone detailing dating back to the mid-1930's. The Guild was organized in 1932 to protect its members from 'piracy,' which they said was an unfair and tortious invasion of their design rights. This organization helped solidify the role of the designer as an intellectual property holder and changed the landscape of fashion forever. This rare showstopper really captures the essence of the magical 1930's time period. The vibrant deco floral print in bold hues of red, green, blue and pink against the rich, black silk rayon fabric radiates timeless elegance. Dramatic, dazzling prong-set rhinestones placed on the adorable neck bow, sleeves, and matching waist belt. These rhinestones are even color coordinated to match the print which is extra special. They catch the light with every movement and elevate the dress from playful to truly spectacular. The dress is crafted to flatter the figure, it even has a waist belt for the perfect fit. I especially adore those charming cuffed puff-sleeves. This maxi dress embodies the perfect balance of elegance and whimsy that could easily have graced the silver screen of Hollywood’s golden age. Measurements Bust: 33-34 inches Waist: 26 inches Hips: 36 inches Total Length: 57 inches This 1930's Fashion Originators Guild floral silk dress is in beautiful condition for age with no stains, discoloration or alternations. Extraordinary attention to construction and couture detail. After close inspection we found some wear to the belt buckle and underarm seams which is unnoticeable when worn. Please message for detailed pictures. Perfectly working original side hook and neck-bow snap closure in place. An investment piece that will only continue to increase in value.

1969 Nina Ricci Haute Couture Documented Rainbow Block-Color Velvet Maxi Dress
By Nina Ricci
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
The French fashion house Nina Ricci, known for its feminine, ladylike clothing, has long been the go-to for Parisian chic. Elegant Frenchwomen and their daughters streamed steadily through the doors of Maison Ricci, seeking debutante dresses, party frocks and wedding trousseaus distinguished by fine details and luxurious fabrics. To achieve her figure-flattering cuts, the seasoned dressmaker draped on a live mannequin, pinning and snipping with a couturier's care. This breathtaking colorful rainbow stripe block-color gown, dating back to fall-winter 1969, is a perfect example of this brand's genius. The bodice has lean, long sleeves with an hourglass wide sash belted waist. I adore the bold primary colors and flattering bell-shape skirting. I totally see this walking down any red carpet or at a special holiday event. Measurements Bust: 32-33 inches Waist: 25 inches Hips: up to 40 inches Total Length: 57 inches This Nina Ricci Couture...
