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.

1960s Turquoise Scallop Pleated and Beaded Embellished Shift Dress
Located in London, GB
This 1960s cocktail dress is intricately adorned with pale-aqua ruched manmade chiffon stitched in a scalloped pattern across the entire body, the resulting effect is soft and cloud-like; the only distraction the occasional ivory or blue pearl which trims the chiffon. Heavy beading and embroidery feature across the bust and continue onto the wide straps. Here, ombré vines made from dark grey-blue beads and pale blue stitching encircle light blue iridescent beads and pearls - decadent detailing that makes this gown a stand-out piece for any occasion. The chiffon is sewn onto the integral viscose blend lining to prevent the dress from being sheer. A parted Watteau train...

1960s Tony Armstrong Raw Silk Turquoise Dress
Located in London, GB
This 1960s Tony Armstrong evening dress is cut in a classic and flattering column silhouette with a high rounded neckline and short, slightly capped sleeves. The front is very lightly embroidered with fine blue thread in a criss-cross pattern. This continues round to the back of the dress, where a concealed original metal zipper ensures a smooth and seamless fit. A pair of right and left darts to the front and back emphasises the waist. The fabric is a very fine quality peacock blue raw silk with a satin sheen to it whilst it is fully lined in a lilac coloured acetate. A best fit for around a UK 8-10 or US 4-6. Superb vintage condition and looks barely worn, we noted only a small area of discoloration to the lining near both the sleeve underarms but this is totally unseen when worn.
