1960s Lauretta Alta Moda Blue and Purple Sequinned Dress
About the Item
This mesmerising sequinned dress was designed in the late 1960s to early 1970s by Lauretta. Made in Italy using alta moda (haute couture) craftsmanship, it is exquisitely handmade. Cut to a mod-silhouette and falling to below the knee, it has a loose, swinging body which is weighted by the elaborate sequin-work. The long sleeves are slightly cropped and are cuffed with a contrasting band of sequins, as is the bottom hem. Up close, the detail of the sequins is beautiful and the assortment of blues, turquoise, purples and violets create a swirling, psychedelic pattern. This dress is fully lined in violet satin. It fastens at the back with a concealed zip. The original label reads “Lauretta Venezia”.
Haute Couture clothing which is handmade in Italy by members of the Camera Nazionale della Moda is known as Alta Moda. Very few Italian couturiers were well known outside of Italy during this time period with the exception of Valentino Garavani, perhaps the most famous of them all. Circa treasures garments such as these in our collection as they represent an important part of Italian fashion heritage.
The dress is in excellent vintage condition with only very, very minor sequin loss noted on close inspection - no other issues apparent. Due to its age it has no size or composition labels so please check our measurements below as the fabric has no stretch. We estimate a good fit for sizes up to a UK 10 or US 6.

View All1950s Turquoise Layered Tulle Net Halterneck Dress
Located in London, GB
This original 1950s turquoise and net prom dress is a real show-stopping, fairy tale piece. It reminds us of the Disney Princess dress worn by Cinderella at the ball.
There are three layers to the skirt; an acetate underskirt, over-laid with a plain net skirt and finally the top layer. This has 11 ruffle trims added in rows which give the dress a very full and sweeping profile. The boned bodice is also in the same coloured ruched fabric, imitating taffeta silk with net trim to the sweetheart neckline. The dress has a very pleasing detachable layered net halter neck that widens over the shoulders to give a little cape like effect. Fastening to the rear with the original concealed centre back zip and hook and eye closure. A long bow...
