About the Item
Known for creating beautiful eveningwear, Greek designer George Stavropoulos launched his own label in 1960. Inspired by classical Greek sculpture, his clothes were crafted by hand to couture standards, and were worn by stars and First Ladies alike, including Barbra Streisand, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy, and Lady Bird Johnson. He is remembered for his masterful work with chiffon and for the high retail price his gowns commanded, which was upwards of $7500 in the 1980s.
From the 1970s, this incredible Stavropoulos dress comes to life when worn, and moves beautifully with the wearer. It is brilliantly draped to create volume and floats at the back when the wearer moves, making it easy to picture this dress on a ballerina. Done in a luxurious couture quality burgundy silk that has a nice sheen, this dress oozes a dramatic sophistication. The bodice begins with an elegant boat neck and long sleeves, allowing the cut and drape of the silk to take center stage. A low V neckline at the back of the bodice adds a small risqué element which also doubles as the center point for more incredible draping.

An inverted pleat at the center back of the dress creates a magnificent asymmetric flounce on one side, and a long, looping draped panel on the other, giving the eye something new to appreciate at each angle. The dress falls to a midi-length just above the ankles in a layered, hand-rolled hem, creating a classic silhouette. A special addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this dress is the perfect choice for a gala, wedding, or special occasion, and can be styled with a pair of strappy heels or flats and statement accessories.
This George Stavropoulos dress is unlined and has a zip and hook closure at the back. There is a weight sewn inside the back of the hand-rolled hem to ensure that the fabric hangs perfectly. In excellent condition, this dress has been professionally eco dry cleaned and pressed. 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.

Vintage Givenchy Couture Magenta Silk Chevron Sleeveless Ruffle Bow Dress
By Givenchy
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Best known for his high-end, feminine silhouettes, French haute couture designer Hubert de Givenchy rose to international acclaim during the 1960s by creating signature looks for actress Audrey Hepburn. Maintaining a classic romantic elegance to his designs, Givenchy began experimenting with bolder colors and pattern options around the 1980s.
Done in a vibrant magenta silk organza, this couture dress was custom made at the Givenchy atelier in Paris. The dress features an incredible cascade of ruffles at each shoulder and a subtle chevron pattern done in alternating rows of smooth silk and basket woven silk. The woven silk provides contrast and texture while the chevron pattern itself creates a pleasing rhythm throughout.
The bodice begins with a flattering bateau neckline framed by short sleeves comprised of layers of wide, undulating ruffles. The ruffles are adorned at each shoulder with a large knotted bow for extra flair and femininity that flows seamlessly with the rest of the fabric. The bows are set slightly behind the high front ruffle on each shoulder, making them easy to miss at first glance, but delightful when seen from the side profile or back of the dress. The basket woven silk provides a sheer element to the ruffles that is further enhanced by the lower cut bodice at the back of the dress.
Size estimate: Small/Medium
Bust: 32 inches
Waist: 30 inches
Hips: 37 inches
Length: 55 inches
The bodice is finished with princess seams that reach from the bust to hip, complimenting the subtle A-line silhouette of this dress. The skirt falls to a maxi-length just above the ankles in a straight hem that is semi-formal and perfect for showcasing a beautiful pair of heels. Sophisticated and feminine, this dress is the perfect choice for a summer wedding, gala, or special occasion.
