Vintage 1950's Neymar Couture Duchess Satin & Beaded Gown UK 4 US 0
About the Item
A once in a lifetime piece, this original 1950's Neymar Couture duchess satin gown, in the most sumptuous shade of cream, showcases true craftsmanship in its design and construction.
The straight-cut neckline is constructed on a tulle base and embellished with pearlescent glass bugle beads, claw set silver rhinestones, pearlised rounded beads, and tubular pearlescent beads that are sewn in a droplet design, accenting the criss cross beaded design upon the tulle base. The duchess satin bodice sits beneath the tulle embellished bust-line and is constructed with internal boning, which creates a fitted silhouette along the bodice. The cinched in waistline, is accented by a central decorative matching satin bow and waist belt. The elaborate and quite simply magnificent skirt is built upon layers of stiffened petticoat tulle. The central straight line panel of the skirt, which boasts double box pleats to either side of the front of the waistline, is in fact the main skirt in which you step into and is built in a column design, edged with a panel of beadwork to match the bodice along the centre front of the hemline. To either side of the central skirt, constructed in a pannier design, gathers of pleats and draped Duchess satin, fan out in elegant pleats along the length of the side skirts and a final one along the central back of the skirt. The central back pleated design conceals the hook and eye fastenings along the back of the dress and the base of the zip. This dress is small and therefore has not been fully zipped onto the display mannequin.
