Jeweled Deco Black Velvet and Georgette Drape Shoulder Cocktail Dress – L, 1940s
About the Item
Though this wartime dress observed all the restrictions of clothes rationing, it suffered no loss of glamour thanks to its clever design tricks. The contrast of fabrics forces the eye to travel around the dress, where it stops at the fixed rhinestone brooches at the hip and chest, while the ample draping imparts softness contrary to the severe silhouettes of the time.
Midi-length cocktail dress with velvet front bodice, georgette rear bodice and skirt, and georgette cap sleeves with padded shoulders; draped georgette shoulder and hip swags gathered at left by fixed rhinestone brooches. Left side metal zipper closure; unlined.

Swirling 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.

Carolina Herrera Black Mini Cocktail Shift Dress w Sequin Bandolier – M, 1980s
By Carolina Herrera
Located in Tucson, AZ
An elusive long sleeved cocktail dress for the lady who wishes to cover her arms but accentuate her legs. This abbreviated—almost mini—shift bridges the gap between covered and uncovered thanks to its short hemline, but balances the attention with the addition of a stylized leaf bandolier that criss crosses the bodice both front and back.
Long sleeve shift dress with wide scooped neckline and black sequin criss-cross leaf trim at front and rear bodice. Lightly padded shoulders and 2” rear vent. Rear nylon zipper closure with top hook and eye; fully lined in black silk.
fabric: pebbled wool crêpe, silk georgette, sequins

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.
