We absolutely adore this sensational vintage 1993 fine silk chiffon Bill Blass dress with a flesh/peach lining and sage green chiffon overlay. The effect is that of a bronze and green iridescence. The lovely ruffles fall asymmetrically down from the left shoulder to the floor and the dress has angel sleeves and a back zipper. You have to see it move to appreciate the feather light fabric and the impeccable tailoring. The video we are showing shows the dress on a size 4 model and you can see that the back is clipped for a better fit. This dress is approximately a US modern day size 6 or an 8 with narrow hips. This dress is a very straight column fit and narrow hips. We always encourage our clients to use the measurements as a guide for the best fit. This beautiful evening gown...

Gianni Versace Istante c. 1998 Sheer Lace Mini Dress IT 40

This 1980s Italian haute couture / alta moda design from Andre Laug appears to be the runway worn dress as it features some additional sewn-in tabs that indicate a collection and design number. The entirely sequined gown is unusual and we would described the tones as an artist's colour palette in that each sequin is printed in orange, yellow, green blue, black and white. The sequins slightly overlay each other like fish scales. From a distance, the sequins collude to give an almost impressionistic or pointillism look and it reminds us of the work of Georges Seurat. It has an asymmetrical neckline and the bodice has been darted with ruching the opposite side to the shoulder strap. It is a full-length sheath style that fastens to the rear with the original centre back zip and a hook and eye. It's an old runway size so best fit for a present-day UK 10 or US 6. It is backed onto an Eau de Nil silk satin and the dress is fully lined in quality acetate. It's in excellent vintage condition. There is just the tiniest amount of sequin loss very close to one side seam. If desired, there is a multitude of sequins in the hem that could be used as replacements however it is virtually unnoticeable. NOTES ON DESIGNER: André Laug was a chic but conservative designer renowned for his impeccable and timeless tailoring. His catwalk shows are remembered for his beautifully tailored, comfortable daywear and classic, elegant eveningwear. At the beginning of his career in the 1960s he designed for Nina Ricci and Courreges in Paris. After branching out on his own, he ran a successful haute couture and ready to wear fashion house in Rome from the 1970s until his death in 1984. Among his A-list clients were Audrey Hepburn, American First Ladies Jackie Kennedy and Barbara Bush...

An accomplished designer, Mary McFadden studied in New York and Paris, worked at Dior, and served as the editor of Vogue South Africa among other positions and awards. She started her own label in the 1970s, incorporating global inspirations and classic silhouettes in her designs. She notably created pleated garments that resemble the famous pleated silk dresses by Mariano Fortuny which eventually became her trademark. “The effect I'm searching for is to have the fabric fall like liquid gold against the body” said McFadden of her ‘Marii’ technique, and she seems to have accomplished just that. Made up of Fortuny style pleats, this dusky lavender gown...
