1960s Gold & Silver Sequin Rhinestone Dress possibly Pierre Cardin

About the Item

The designer of this dress is unknown, but that makes it no less spectacular. Possibly created by renowned Italian-French designer Pierre A. Cardin, this 1960’s dress is an incredible statement piece. Done in gold and silver sequins with prong-set crystal rhinestones, this fitted mini dress exudes a timeless 1960s glamor. The bodice begins with short sleeves and a jewel neckline embellished with a band of silver sequins that is framed by rings of rhinestones, creating the illusion of a collar-like necklace. The concentric circles draw the eye upwards while elongating the neck, giving this dress a regal feel. Beneath the bust, another band of silver sequins bordered by rows of rhinestones mirrors the neckline while creating an empire waist that emphasizes the natural lines of the body. Size estimate: Small Shoulders: 14.5 inches Bust: 34 inches Waist: 30 inches Hips: up to 36 inches Length: 36 inches The dress falls to a chic mini length several inches above the knee in a subtle, A-line silhouette, allowing the fabric to take center stage. Every sequin and rhinestone on this dress is intact, creating a seamless, shimmering masterpiece that has the intended mesmerizing effect. The silver sequins overlap like fish scales and are set on the diagonal, while the gold sequins are set in undulating columns, giving the fabric a unique visual movement and rhythm of its own. A special addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this dress is the perfect choice for a wedding, cocktail party, or special occasion. This vintage 1960s dress is fully lined and closes with a concealed metal zip. The boutique I. Magnin label is present, but the designer label has fallen out. Pierre. A Cardin designed several similar dresses in the 1960s with lurex and other metallic elements, as can be seen in the featured images. In very good condition with some discoloration on the lining only, this dress has been professionally hand spot cleaned and steamed. High-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself.

  • Rodarte Fall 2015 Lace Crystal Embellished Feather Trim Mini Dress
    By Rodarte
    Located in Boca Raton, FL
    Creating beautiful clothes that channel a certain fantastic dreaminess has long been Rodarte’s calling card. Rodarte’s designs are held in permanent collections at world-class museums including The Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Founded by sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy in 2005, Rodarte has been worn by many celebrities and icons including the likes of Tilda Swinton, Rihanna, and Rooney Mara. The sisters notably designed several costumes for the Oscar-winning film Black Swan, and have won many prestigious awards including the Swiss Textiles Award, a CFDA, and a Domani Fashion Award. True to their typical whimsical fashion, the Mulleavy sisters cited migrating birds as the inspiration for their avian and disco-themed 2015 Fall/Winter collection, which featured an array of “hedonistic glam” dresses. As seen as look number 24 on that season’s runway and in the featured images taken by British fashion photographer Tim Walker, this dainty, fairytale-esque dress is a feat of craftsmanship and imagination. Done in lace, net, and marabou feather trim, the dress features several risqué elements and is embellished with hand appliqued beads and sequins. The sheer lace sleeves, hem of the skirt, and half of the neckline and bodice are trimmed in crème marabou feathers, offering a nice contrast of texture while lending the dress a dramatic sophistication. Alternating sides of the plunging V neckline and the asymmetric skirt are adorned with rows of small silver and clear beads, giving this fitted dress a regal feel. The bodice is done half in white lace and half in sheer lavender lace...

    By Hattie Carnegie
    Located in Boca Raton, FL
    From the early 1950s comes this heavenly silk dress by Hattie Carnegie. Its nipped-waist silhouette is the perfect canvas for the gorgeous watercolor print that unfolds upon it: a blanket of pretty peonies in shades of pink, gray, white, lavender and, of course, Carnegie blue. “My clothes are built to show off the woman who wears them,” the American designer once said. “I like them to be simple—complicated and simple—to move well, to move with the times and a little ahead of them.” Still stunning today, this vintage treasure is a reflection of her philosophy—and a ladylike option for so many occasions, from a springtime luncheon to a summertime wedding or garden party. Measurements Size estimate: XS/S Bust: 32 inches Waist: 24 inches Hips: 34 inches Length: 42 inches This vintage Hattie Carnegie dress...
