Vintage 1950's Pauline Trigere Black Silk Sculpted Pockets 'New Look' Full Dress

About the Item

During the 1950's and 1960's, Pauline Trigère's name was part of the glamorous excess in Hollywood fashion. Her exquisite tailoring and feminine-fitting clothing were highly desired by the wealthy and famous. She could create dresses which fit like a glove; cut in an extremely flattering style. Trigère designs commanded some of the highest prices often because they were made with very expensive materials. This stunning black silk-taffeta cocktail, dating back to her 1958 collection, is a wonderful example of her genius. The bodice is an elegant shirt-waist design with sparkling rhinestone buttons gracing the center. I love the hourglass nipped-waist which is so flattering to the figure. The sculpted side pockets flowing into a full swing-skirt brings the garment to a whole new level. The perfect "little black dress" for any modern occasion! Measurements Bust: 34-35 inches Waist: 28 inches Hips: 38 inches This vintage Pauline Trigere designer dress is in beautiful condition with no rips, stains or holes. Perfectly working side metal-zipper.

  • Vintage 1978 Lanvin Couture Black Sheer Silk & Stripe Velvet Billow-Sleeve Gown
    By Lanvin Paris
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    This 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...

    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 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...
