About the Item

This beautiful Zandra Rhodes couture dress and scarf ensemble is cut in really gorgeous shades of green silk chiffon. Her abstract, signature screen-printed fabric is worked by hand in a lime, apple green, white and silvery brown colourway, with delicate threads of sequins and bugle beads running through it. The dress is fitted through to the hip and flares out with overlaid elongated panels, similar to a car wash style which separate when you walk, creating a bohemian and flowing look. It is lined with a pale mint silk that is cut with a similar wide fringe detail and which feels cool and comfortable for the wearer. The style reminds us of the early flapper dresses of the late 1910s and 1920s when women were released from constraining undergarments and fashions moved to a less constructed look. The very long and extravagant scarf is nearly twice the length and one and a half times the width of the dress and can be styled as a shawl, neck scarf or worn separately. The lady who consigned this dress was a close personal friend of Zandra Rhodes who bespoke designed and made this dress ensemble for her son's wedding around 8 years ago. The dress is in beautiful vintage condition with no stains or flaws to note. Due to its dropped waist, it would fit sizes up to a 10-12 UK, or 6-8 US. MEASUREMENTS: BUST: 34 in. ( 86.36 cm ) WAIST: 30 in. ( 76.2 cm ) HIP: 38 in. ( 96.52 cm ) LENGTH: 43 in. ( 109.22 cm )

1960s William Travilla Green and Blue Sequin Dress
By William Travilla
Located in London, GB
This is a late 1960s or early 1970s couture sequinned maxi gown by William Travilla whose name is synonymous with Marilyn Monroe for whom he worked as a costume designer from 1952. He designed, arguably, the most famous cinematic dress in history, the white pleated halterneck dress for 'The Seven Year Itch' and was Oscar nominated 5 times winning for 'The Adventures of Don Juan' where he designed costumes for Errol Flynn. He designed for his own label from 1957 and was widely acclaimed for his work on the television series The Thorn Birds and Dallas during the 1980s. The silk fabric in this gown is just beautiful and has an abstract almost painterly foliage print design; the vibrant greens and blues invoke a tropical vibe. Overlaying the silk from head to toe are tightly spaced clear sequins that have been joined together with a a silver thread giving an iridescence to the top layer of organza. The dress has a deep V-neck crossover empire line bodice with hidden covered popper buttons for modesty along the V-line. The gathered skirt is very full and is separately lined underneath in a fine quality silk crepe. A green velvet band with a neat bow completes the look. There's lots of hand finishing details on this dress and it is so well made that you could wear it either way around depending on whether you wanted slightly more coverage. The label inside the dress reads 'Haute Couture by Sally's and then the address is Palisades Park, New Jersey. Whilst not strictly, haute couture, this dress is as close to American designer royalty that you can get. A fellow vintage dealer I very much admire, Shrimpton...
