Antique 1890's Victorian French Couture Floral Embroidered Yellow Satin Gown
About the Item
Undiminished by time, this Mme Arnaud on 16 Rue Bassano Paris couture ensemble from the Victorian era still casts its seductive spell. An exceptional evening ensemble fashioned from vibrant sunshine yellow silk-satin. The gorgeous three-dimensional purple iris floral embroidery really sets this formal gown apart from others of it's time. I love the ruched fully-corset bodice which are so modern and chic. Making a bold and dramatic fashion statement, this must have been worn to an extremely regal event in. Totally looks like the type of garment that inspired John Galliano when he was head designer at Christian Dior. This is truly a rare and exceptional quality made piece of wearable art.

This 1890's Mme Arnaud French Couture ensemble is is in beautiful wearable and presentable condition. As shown, the inside bodice is fully-boned with hidden hook eye closures. Designer labeled wide band of silk grosgrain circling the waist. There is hand-stitching throughout. Only sign of wear to the ballroom skirt is minor soiling by the bottom hem. Please message for detailed pictures. The back fabric on the bodice looks to have been matched and not original to the rest of the ensemble. Extremely well-done and hard to notice when worn. Truly exquisite and a wearable investment piece that will only increase in value.

View AllVintage 1960's Gene Shelly Chartreuse Yellow Sequin Beaded Knit Cocktail Dress
By Gene Shelley International Boutique, Gene Shelley
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
Mid-century Gene Shelly designer garments are in a class of their own. They are always fully-sequined by hand and fit to flatter the figure. This early 1960's treasure has a fantastic abstract-deco design worked in, featuring iridescent-beadwork. The base is an ultra-soft chartreuse yellow wool-knit and the sequin work is done in the same hue. Just look at the detail pictures! Though the hourglass fit is rather seductive, the 3/4-length sleeves give it a balanced elegance that Gene Shelly is known for. I love the nipped-waist belted hourglass wiggle skirt! This is the type of garment celebrity vixens, like Marilyn Monroe, made infamous. Extraordinary and a rare find to be in such pristine condition.

2001 Dolce & Gabbana Sheer Black Silk Built-In Lace Bra Plunge Hourglass Gown
By Dolce & Gabbana
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
An ultra seductive and totally iconic Dolce & Gabbana black stretch sheer silk hourglass gown dating back to their 2001 fall/winter collection. As pictured, Beyoncé wore a very similar black sheer illusion built-in bra dress to the 2001 VH1 Vogue Fashion Awards. Dolce & Gabbana are considered the inventors of a Mediterranean style that draws its inspiration from women of Italian realism, sensual and austere like Anna Magnani, to whom they dedicated a collection whose key element was the 1940's slip. They are not looking for a retro look; Dolce & Gabbana turned to the past for innovation. The designers once stated, "We want to use the past to project it into the future". This highly coveted built-in bra bodycon gown...
