Vintage 1950's Calabri Italian Couture Black Velvet & Scalloped Lace Party Dress
About the Item
A stunning Calabri couture Florence, Italy beauty dating back to the mid 1950's. This is perhaps the most alluring and flattering "little black dress" I have ever seen. Fashioned from silk-velvet & scalloped illusion lace, this creation has everything a woman wants. The boned bodice has a seductive low-cut plunge with ribbon detail. I adore the hourglass nipped-waist which was the signature style for a 1950's 'New Look 'craze. The full swing skirt with unique angled lace finishes this beauty off with a perfect femme fatale silhouette. This will be the party dress you reach for every time you want to look dynamite.

- Vintage 1978 Lanvin Couture Black Sheer Silk & Stripe Velvet Billow-Sleeve GownBy Lanvin ParisLocated in Beverly Hills, CAThis extremely gorgeous Lanvin Couture sheer silk chiffon dress from their 1978 fall-winter collection is a statement piece. I love the beautiful bohemian chic vibe mixed with an elegant refinement. The striped velvet trim adds the perfect amount of color to the garment. The bodice has a stunning ruffle collar with dramatic billow-sleeves. Shaped with an elastic band, the figure flattering cut adds a sophisticated blousy nature while still showcasing your waistline. Under the direction of Jules Francois-Crahay, Lanvin was a playground for imagination. This vibrant primary hues is the perfect example of this. Lanvin may be the oldest fashion house in Paris, but it has also managed to remain one of the most relevant. Through many years and many designers, it has stayed true to the vision of its founder, Madame Jeanne...Category
