About the Item
A simply stunning and incredibly timeless Gigliola Curiel Italian couture heavy pleated royal purple silk chiffon gown dating back to the mid 1950's. Curiel is an important Italian haute couture brand with a history of over 110 years. Founder Ortensia Curiel runs a tailor shop in Trieste and after World War II, her daughter Gigliola opens a clothing shop in Milan. Since opening in 1945 this boutique was very well-known in upper class Milan and attracted many fans, including royal ladies from La Scala. Gigliola Curiel is the first Italian designer to give exclusive coverage to the prestigious Bergdorf & Goodman department store in New York and Harrods in London. Gigliola Curiel custom dresses are rare, unique and highly collectible. Fashioned from exquisite royal purple silk chiffon, this showstopper has everything you look for when searching for this designer. The strapless nipped waist bodice has fully boned corsetry with intricate pleating and a flattering sweetheart frame. The hourglass nipped waist flows into a ruched fitted wiggle with an attached full-length over skirt. The yards and yards of silk chiffon look sensational when you walk. The craftsmanship is simply magnificent; the concept reads so modern and timeless. We added any pictures so you can appreciate this beautiful achievement. A gorgeous one-of-a-kind Italian custom couture gown that would definitely make an unforgettable wedding guest or red carpet look.
