1960s Sea Foam Green Silk Gazzar Embellished Couture Dress
About the Item
This pale seafoam green/blue dress is a very regal example of late 1960s haute couture evening wear. Cut in a classic and flattering A-line shape, it falls gracefully to around ankle length. The dress is made from silk gazar which has a lovely iridescence to it, complete with elaborate beaded trim to both the scoop neckline and capped sleeves. The shell beads and crystals are complemented by a blue lurex thread that adds shimmer to the overall effect. Along the skirt seams, additional fabric has been folded in to add volume, and the dress fastens at the back with the original metal zip, concealed by a hand stitched placket. It is beautifully lined and the work has evidently been done by hand, although the label has been removed or lost over time. We suspect this is by a couturier of note as it has a small catalogue label so this was acquired by a museum in the past. We purchased privately from a collector.
With its pale colour and classic princess silhouette, this would make a wonderful alternative wedding dress or a formal occasion. In excellent vintage condition, with no stains or faults to note. It would fit up to a UK 10-12, or US 6-8.

1950s Diana Warren White Tulle Dress With Ribbon Appliqué
By Diana Warren
Located in London, GB
A beautiful and timeless original 1950s pure white tulle ribbon appliqué work dress from high-end British boutique label Diana Warren. Classic scoop neck, cap sleeves, a fitted bodice and pleating to the waist, the dress is adorned all over in scrolling ribbon appliqué work over a net overlay. The underskirt lining is a lightweight acetate with a net mid layer. The dress fastens at the back with a metal zip and is styled in the photos without a petticoat. The fullness of the skirt will allow a petticoat of several layers if desired to further accentuate the waist and hips. Truly excellent vintage condition - we have been unable to find a single hole in the lace and all the ribbon is intact. This would be a beautiful vintage bridal dress...
