This sensational 1970s black sequinned evening gown is by Morty Sussman for Mollie Parnis Boutique and is in truly excellent vintage condition. The dress is elegant, with a modest V neckline, long sleeves and a full length skirt. The sheer black crepe fabric has black metallic thread running through it to create a subtle sparkle and is adorned throughout with black sequins. The full skirt is gathered just below the waist and fully lined in soft black chiffon, whilst the bodice and sleeves are unlined and remain sheer. There is a concealed zip fastening at the centre reverse of the gown with a hook eye closure to secure at the nape of the neck.

The self-taught Jean Muir made her name in the 1960s, creating a reputation for exquisitely tailored timeless, feminine clothing. Having previously worked as a designer for the famous textile house, Liberty of London, Muir’s designs are extremely fluid and often incorporate simple jersey or suede fabrics with small craft details throughout. Of her work, Muir has noted that she is more concerned with the process of engineering garments to make “beautiful shapes” rather than designing clothes. Her pieces are held in museums worldwide and she has been hailed as the greatest dressmaker in the world, in a league with Madame Grès, Chanel, and Vionnet. Done in an ivory chiffon featuring a print of large and small black polka dots, this divine Jean Muir dress is effortless and regal at once. The gathered bodice begins with a high square neckline and layered sheer angel sleeves. The knife-pleated chiffon creates a pleasing rhythm throughout, adding another dimension to the layered flounces of the skirt and fluttering elbow-length sleeves. The skirt falls from a high fitted waist to a maxi length just above the ankles, creating a classic, elegant silhouette, while decorative black stitching at the neckline and waist adds a note of refined elegance. Size estimate: SML/MED Measurements: Bust: 34 inches Waist: 28 inches Hips: up to 38 inches Length: 54 inches From the bust waistline, a layer of chiffon creates a long, knee-length flounce, bringing a fullness to the otherwise columnar structure of the dress. The hems of the sleeves and both layers of the skirt are edged in black silk, adding a nice contrast of texture along with striking pop of color. An excellent choice for a wedding or special occasion, this Jean Muir dress has stunning proportions and can easily be worn as a day-to-night look. This vintage Jean Muir dress...

This elegant dress was designed by Yuki for British store Rembrandt during the 1970s. Made in the UK, it is crafted from a high quality crepe cloth in a rich cream hue. This dress celebrates Yuki’s canny tailoring; his signature cut was to craft panels of full circles which were then draped. This was to create maximum fullness with no seams, and his designs - like this one - often formed flamboyant batwing sleeves which were cinched by gathered waists. This midi-gown has a pleated, ruffled collar and has an off-centre fastening at the bust, secured with snap closures, which gives way to a soft pleat down the front. The pleating at the collar is echoed at the cuffs, adding decadent detail. This dress is fully lined in cream satin. Yuki was the design name of Gnyuki Torimaru...
