Black and Fuchsia Rosebud and Rhinestone Yawn-Pocket Ballerina Dress –L, 1950s
About the Item
A modern vintage masterpiece, this ladylike frock is loaded with charming extras (our favorite is the pocket detail: decorative AND practical) that keep its timeless silhouette from becoming stuffy. If the yawning pockets and dimensional rosebuds don't garner enough attention, the voluminous rustling skirt certainly will! Match accessories to the rosebuds for a playful alternative to black.
Sleeveless circle dress with silk velvet cording at neckline, arm holes and pockets; massive fold-over yawning pockets each hip. Front bodice and pocket points feature rhinestone sprinkles and 3-D appliqué rosebuds. Bust darts, front and back princess seams at bodice, and matching belt*. Rear metal zipper closure; hanging loops. Unlined.

View AllSwirling Black Jersey Disco Day Dress with Plunging Bodice – M, 1960s
By Edith Flagg
Located in Tucson, AZ
If you had to choose ONE dress to wear for the rest of your life, choose this one. Its universally flattering cut accentuates even the smallest bustline while the swirling skirt (over ten feet!) skims over the hips and falls gracefully to the knee for dramatic movement. And though it is as light, wrinkle-free and sensuous as silk jersey, its easy care fabric means it is machine washable and supremely packable. A wardrobe workhorse, this dress can take you from day to night, Studio 54 to the Ritz Paris, and brunch to boardroom.
Long sleeve swing dress with plunging neckline and front and rear princess seams from underarm to hem. Gently gathered inverted “V” seam at bust. Rear nylon zipper closure with top hook and eye. Unlined.

Sheer Indian Black Silk and Gold Bead Kaftan Coat - M-L, 1980s
Located in Tucson, AZ
Halfway between a kaftan and a maxi coat, this sheer topper makes up in glamour what it lacks in warmth. The repeating floral pattern consists of clear bugle beads that catch and reflect light, while the hollow gold balls at each flower's center create evening-worthy shimmer. This single garment has the power to elevate the humblest outfit and would be a perfect travel or resort piece; it could even be worn as a bathing suit cover up!

New Bottega Veneta Black Silk Velvet Branch Coral Illusion Runway Dress – It. 38
By Bottega Veneta
Located in Tucson, AZ
New, unworn and right off Bottega Veneta’s 2012 runway comes this incomparable illusion dress whose nude shoulders make the dress appear to float unattached on the body. Painstakingly crafted, each piece of the laser-cut silk velvet pattern is sewn individually and perfectly matched to create perfect vertical symmetry on the left and right sides of the dress. Halfway between a Rorschach pattern and branch coral, the dress is a marvel and a walking piece of art.

1980s Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche silk floral wrap dress
By Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche
Located in CULEMBORG, GE
This figure flattering, silk, wrap-dress by Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche from 1980* has a beautiful multicolor floral print. The pink, orange and purple flowers surrounded by green leafs are set on a black ground. At the neck, there is an interior tie to close up above the bust. The inside is lined around the shoulders and it comes with a matching sash stitched on the back. Taking a closer look at the Jabot-style collar and ruffled sleeves covered in pink and orange stripes it shows how beautifully constructed Yves Saint Laurent's ready-to-wear items where made. The vivid colors and combination of stripes and flowers give the all together look a funky Parisienne touch: feminine, but rather cool with a touch of romance.
The indicated size FR 38 corresponds to a contemporary size S but because of the two strategic placed hooks at the waist it is possible to adjust this dress and therefore it would also fit a size M (FR40).
Item measurements (lying flat):
Size: FR 38
Shoulders: 50 cm (sleeves incl.)
Sleeves: 64 cm (from shoulder)
Bust: 45 cm
Waist: 35 up to 40 cm
Hips: up to 60 cm
Length: 100 cm up to 110 cm (back)
Model Nieve wears a size S with a 1.80 meter length.
