About the Item

A rare and likely one-of-a-kind couture piece by Vicky Tiel, this 1970s gown is a romantic masterwork in sheer floral silk chiffon. Designed with a ruched, off-the-shoulder neckline and flutter sleeves, the silhouette evokes bohemian elegance with a distinctly Parisian edge. The gown features a hand-smocked bodice and a lace-embellished waistband, leading into a flowing, tiered maxi skirt finished with a black sheer hemline and gold embroidery. The dress closes with a side zipper and is fully lined through the body, allowing the sheer silk to maintain its lightness and movement. With a 24-inch waist, this piece fits like a modern XS and would have been custom-tailored, pointing to its couture origins. Tiel, a favorite of Elizabeth Taylor and known for her sultry Parisian designs, rarely produced pieces in high volume during this period—making this gown highly collectible. ⸻ Details: • Designer: Vicky Tiel • Era: 1970s • Origin: Likely custom couture (no label present) • Size: Approx.
