Vintage 1950's Pauline Trigere Black Silk Sculpted Pockets 'New Look' Full Dress

About the Item

During the 1950's and 1960's, Pauline Trigère's name was part of the glamorous excess in Hollywood fashion. Her exquisite tailoring and feminine-fitting clothing were highly desired by the wealthy and famous. She could create dresses which fit like a glove; cut in an extremely flattering style. Trigère designs commanded some of the highest prices often because they were made with very expensive materials. This stunning black silk-taffeta cocktail, dating back to her 1958 collection, is a wonderful example of her genius. The bodice is an elegant shirt-waist design with sparkling rhinestone buttons gracing the center. I love the hourglass nipped-waist which is so flattering to the figure. The sculpted side pockets flowing into a full swing-skirt brings the garment to a whole new level. The perfect "little black dress" for any modern occasion! Measurements Bust: 34-35 inches Waist: 28 inches Hips: 38 inches This vintage Pauline Trigere designer dress is in beautiful condition with no rips, stains or holes. Perfectly working side metal-zipper.

Rare 1970's Madame Grès Haute Couture Beaded Berry Motif Navy Sheer Silk Gown
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
Gorgeous and ultra rare Madame Gres haute couture two-piece dress ensemble dating back to the mid 1970's. Madame Gres felt that the true job of the couturier was not to create a name for one's self, as many designers do, but to pay rigorous attention to the clothing. This stunning navy-blue sheer silk organza dress has so much detail, you can tell it was made with loving devotion. The bodice is a unique cap-sleeve hourglass nipped-waist design with figure flattering attached sash-belt. The sash can be wrapped around in a cummerbund style or pulled back as a waist-tie. The sparkling holly berry novelty hand-done bead work really makes this piece modern and relevant. The work itself must have taken weeks. The full swing-skirt finished this dress off with an effortless romantic vibe. Grès had an extraordinarily long career, working until the late 1980's. Through each decade, which encompassed huge changes in fashion, her work remained consistent and timeless. Any one of her elegant gowns...
