About the Item

This is a magnificent body-con maxi gown by Parisian Atelier Guy Laroche - the exact one which walked the runway for the Fall/Winter 2007 couture collection. A floor length creation in mauve stretch-crepe which sensuously clings to the curves of the body. It recalls the minimalist designs of the 1990s, pushing the bandage dress silhouette to its limit by wrapping the cloth around and around the body and cinching the halter drapery across the bust and waist. The dress fastens under the right arm with a hidden tonal zip and a hook-and-eye clasp. It is lined with coordinating fabric throughout the entire dress. The label reads “Guy Laroche Couture” in glittering gold on black thread. French designer Guy Laroche designed practical, haute couture garments throughout the 1950s up until his death in 1989. By the 2000s, his eponymous brand had taken a new, more modern direction under Damian Yee, who has worked with brands such as Karl Lagerfeld and Gucci, as well as with celebrities like Kylie Minogue and Lenny Kravitz. This incredible gown is in superb archival vintage condition with no flaws of any note. Like many couture pieces, it has no composition or size label so please check our measurements closely below. The fabric has some stretch so please allow a small degree of flexibility on the below measurements. Would fit up to a statuesque UK size 8-10 or US 4-6 and sizes smaller. MEASUREMENTS BUST - 32 in. (81 cm) WAIST - 28 in. (71 cm) HIP - 44 in. (112 cm) LENGTH - 58 in. (147 cm)

1990s Bellville Sasson Velvet Slip Dress with Sequinned Bodice
By Bellville Sassoon
Located in London, GB
This 1990s Bellville Sassoon floor-length dress is crafted from an amalgamation of beautiful fabrics. The flattering, bias-cut body and skirt are tailored from devoré cloth, showcasing sheer aubergine crepe detailed with velvet patterned with autumnal-hued paisley. The bodice is made from a sheer mesh and is adorned with hundreds of beads in hues picked out from the paisley across the skirt. This beadwork forms a lattice and is finished with swirling paisley shapes that mirror the patterns further down the dress. The bodice has an asymmetric cut with one beaded shoulder and one sleeve tailored from aubergine chiffon and burgundy mesh. The bodice is boned the whole way around, which cinches the waist and flatters the bust; it is lined at the front but at the back remains sheer, meaning that the beads appear to adorn the skin. This is hands down the best Bellville Sassoon design we have ever had in Circa's collection and this whimsical dress is lined with crimson satin to the floor. The label reads “Bellville Sassoon Lorcan Mullany”. Made in England and in excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note and looks barely worn. It is labelled a UK size 10 or US 6 but sizes vary hugely between vintage brands, so please check our measurements below. There is no composition label and the fabric has no stretch. British couture house Bellville Sassoon was founded in 1953 by Belinda Bellville and provided Parisian style fashion in the heart of London for aristocrats and debutantes. Designer David Sassoon...
