About the Item

This striking full length silk blend vintage dress in neon green is by American label Gino Charles for Malcolm Starr and is of superb quality. Made in the late 1960s in Hong Hong, which at the time, was the centre of excellence globally for intricate embellishment work such as this. The dress has prong set rhinestones in green, pink and crystal tones interspersed with gold thread embroidery in a floral design around the yoke neckline and cuffs. It features full length sleeves and is slit at the centre front to the knee with a central zip fastening at the reverse. Inside it is fully lined in a matching green silk satin. The dress is in good to very good vintage condition overall and presents well. We noted a linear area of colour fade across the top of the right shoulders which extends down the arm to the cuffs; not easily to detect when worn. There is also some puckering of the fabric due to age and wear. A real statement piece for an evening event or summer party, it would best suit up to a US size 2, UK size 6. Our model is a petite UK 6-8 or US 2-4 and this was a tight fit. MEASUREMENTS: BUST - 81cm/ 32" WAIST - 68cm/ 26.5" HIP - 99cm/39" LENGTH - 140cm/ 55" SLEEVE - 56cm/ 22" ACROSS BACK - 40cm/ 16"

1960s William Travilla Green and Blue Sequin Dress
By William Travilla
Located in London, GB
This is a late 1960s or early 1970s couture sequinned maxi gown by William Travilla whose name is synonymous with Marilyn Monroe for whom he worked as a costume designer from 1952. He designed, arguably, the most famous cinematic dress in history, the white pleated halterneck dress for 'The Seven Year Itch' and was Oscar nominated 5 times winning for 'The Adventures of Don Juan' where he designed costumes for Errol Flynn. He designed for his own label from 1957 and was widely acclaimed for his work on the television series The Thorn Birds and Dallas during the 1980s. The silk fabric in this gown is just beautiful and has an abstract almost painterly foliage print design; the vibrant greens and blues invoke a tropical vibe. Overlaying the silk from head to toe are tightly spaced clear sequins that have been joined together with a a silver thread giving an iridescence to the top layer of organza. The dress has a deep V-neck crossover empire line bodice with hidden covered popper buttons for modesty along the V-line. The gathered skirt is very full and is separately lined underneath in a fine quality silk crepe. A green velvet band with a neat bow completes the look. There's lots of hand finishing details on this dress and it is so well made that you could wear it either way around depending on whether you wanted slightly more coverage. The label inside the dress reads 'Haute Couture by Sally's and then the address is Palisades Park, New Jersey. Whilst not strictly, haute couture, this dress is as close to American designer royalty that you can get. A fellow vintage dealer I very much admire, Shrimpton...
