About the Item

Vinchi Demi Couture black silk hand rolled petal evening dress from the 1960s, Hong Kong. Hong Kong has always been a mecca of hand tailoring.

There is a center front focus bow with a decorative buckle of black glass beads. Below a row of hand rolled petals form a belt around the body. The long skirt is sheer black silk, a double row of petals form the hem. The dress is interlined & lined in black silk, the bodice lining continues to approximately the knee. The skirt lining of opaque silk, ends at about the knee inside, making the lower leg slightly visible through the sheer fabric. The skirt back features a deep center hem vent.
