About the Item

This magnificent 1990s bespoke made embellished lace and crystal dress is a fairytale dream. The top section features a heavily crystal studded lace and turquoise bodice which has an incredible internal structure, made up of heavy boning, shaped bust cups and a reinforced, neutral coloured lining. The puffed sleeves are lined with grip tape to ensure a seamless fit, and to prevent any slippage in the shoulder area. The dress is fastened to the centre back of the bodice, with eleven neatly concealed hook and eye closures. The skirt portion, which is internally attached to the bodice, is lined in a white, crisp polyblend fabric. The weight and impressive volume of the dress is created using a combination of this underlay, turquoise blue chiffon and an embellished mesh overlay which is embroidered using silver and iridescent champagne threads and sparkling diamantes. The neckline and sleeve cuffs are finished with turquoise ruffle trims, with rows of small diamante embellishments. A genuine one of a kind dress; this belonged to a lady who was a fabulously wealthy heiress and had all her clothes made for her. No expense was spared making this entirely handmade garment, undoubtedly designed for a grand special occasion or event. In wonderful vintage condition, she is without fault and best suited for up to a small size UK 10 or US 6. MEASUREMENTS Bust - 34 in. (86.4 cm) Waist - 27 in. (68.6 cm) Hip - 62 in.

1950s 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...

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...
