An ethereal 1970's British custom couture ivory gown that effortlessly mixes the bohemian vibe with 1930's Old Hollywood glamour. I definitely think this beauty would make an epic resort party or bridal look. The fabrics used work absolutely perfect together; a semi-sheer cotton gauze blend mixed with netted filet lace and thick corded crochet lace. The bodice is framed with gorgeous scalloped trim and the prettiest winged flutter sleeves. This figure flattering gown with a flirty low backside accentuates the waist while skimming the hips with yards and yards of skirting. The knotted fringe detail adds such fantastic depth and texture. It is impeccably hand crafted and on the level of modern day couture. Here is a show-stopper with attitude and elegant. Measurements Bust: 32-36 inches (varies due to design) Waist: 26 inches Hips: Free Sweep Total Length: 62 inches This 1970's custom couture gown...

As in the original 1962 paper work, the blood-red paint smudges and defects are clearly visible.  The printed cotton bias on the neck and sleeves is also true to the original paper one. The background is a cheap unbleached cotton. Trace of a label cut on the collar, this could be a Mr Feedom (?) manufacture in England circa 1971. All seams are machine sewn. Exceptionally good condition. Probably never worn. A rare collector's item. Dimensions: Equivalent size 38 France.

This 1960s Tony Armstrong evening dress is cut in a classic and flattering column silhouette with a high rounded neckline and short, slightly capped sleeves. The front is very lightly embroidered with fine blue thread in a criss-cross pattern. This continues round to the back of the dress, where a concealed original metal zipper ensures a smooth and seamless fit. A pair of right and left darts to the front and back emphasises the waist. The fabric is a very fine quality peacock blue raw silk with a satin sheen to it whilst it is fully lined in a lilac coloured acetate. A best fit for around a UK 8-10 or US 4-6. Superb vintage condition and looks barely worn, we noted only a small area of discoloration to the lining near both the sleeve underarms but this is totally unseen when worn.

Fitted around the bust, with a flattering empire line tie fastening and three covered buttons at the back in the same fabric.
