Vintage 1950s Harvey Berin Pale-Pink Lace Illusion & Silk Flounce Cocktail Dress

About the Item

Absolutely gorgeous Harvey Berin designer cocktail dress dating back to the late 1950's. I'm so in love with that pale blush-pink color! Harvey Berin opened his business in 1921, and by the 1940's he was an important name in women’s high fashion. His designer, Karen Stark, adapted the latest styles from Paris each season. I can definitely see the Christian Dior influence. As Karen Stark said, "I like to use beautiful fabrics and unusual trimmings. I design for everyone–but always very feminine women.” This ethereal pale blush-pink French Chantilly lace and silk satin cocktail is a perfect example of their genius. I love the elegant low cut scoop shelf-bust illusion boned bodice with duel side-bows. The hourglass nipped waist flows into a fantastic sculpted wiggle flounce. The pictures say it all! Measurements Bust: 33-34 inches Waist: 26 inches Hips: up to 36 inches Total Length: 42 inches This Harvey Berin designer dress is in excellent condition with no rips, stains or holes. Perfectly working back metal-zipper and skilled bodice boning. A wearable investment piece that will continue to increase in value.

  • Vintage 1970s Ivory Mixed Lace Sheer Cotton Bohemian Flutter-Sleeve Bridal Gown
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    An ethereal 1970's British custom couture ivory gown that effortlessly mixes the bohemian vibe with 1930's Old Hollywood glamour. I definitely think this beauty would make an epic bridal look. The fabrics used work absolutely perfect together; a semi-sheer cotton gauze blend mixed with netted filet lace and thick corded crochet lace. The bodice is framed with gorgeous scalloped trim and the prettiest winged flutter sleeves. This figure flattering gown with a flirty low backside accentuates the waist while skimming the hips with yards and yards of skirting. The knotted fringe detail adds such fantastic depth and texture. It is impeccably hand crafted and on the level of modern day couture. Here is a show-stopper with attitude and elegant. Measurements Bust: 32-36 inches (varies due to design) Waist: 26 inches Hips: Free Sweep Total Length: 62 inches This 1970's custom couture gown...
