Vintage 1950's Rudolf Couture Metallic Peach Lace & Satin Scalloped Party Dress

About the Item

Breathtaking and incredibly chic Rudolf couture designer golden peach party dress dating back to the mid 1950's. The company, started by Max Cory Rudolf, was an upscale boutique in New York City that catered to very prestigious and wealthy clientele. Rudolf was the first person to bring Hubert de Givenchy to America and Givenchy even did a line of dresses for Rudolf. His specialty was creating evening and cocktail dresses very much in the tradition of movie-star glamour. This metallic lace beauty is a wonderful example of his genius. Just look at the detailed fabric! The bodice is a flattering scalloped shelf-bust with elegant satin cummerbund sash. The nipped-waist full circle-skirt finishes off this garment with a perfect "new look" silhouette. I love how the scalloped design is mirrored at the hemline. The beautiful construction and gorgeous color really sets this dress apart from other garments of this era. Measurements Bust: 35-36 inches Waist: 28 inches Hips: Free Sweep Total Length: 44 inches This vintage Rudolf couture designer party dress is in beautiful condition with minor wear to the lace. Please message for detailed pictures. Perfectly working back original metal-zipper. This dress is over 60 years old and is truly stunning.

  • Vintage 1920's French Couture Metallic Gold Lamé Beaded Leaf-Motif Trained Gown
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Breathtaking mid-1920's French couture museum-quality beaded & jeweled metallic lamé evening trained dress. The dramatic gold color palette touches a deep chord in our collective aesthetic consciousness. As fashion lovers, we never tire from antique metallics; they will always be fresh to modern eyes. It is in wonderful wearable condition; something that is becoming a rarity as time goes by. The gold fabric is even more amazing when you realize it is all hand-beaded in the much gorgeous turquoise and creme leaf motif. The prong-set jewels add another degree of charm that is irresistible. I adore the fringed cut-out shoulders and three-dimensional floral side applique. The attached duel-trains really set this garment apart of others during the period. This is one of the best 1920's pieces I have ever seen and I would not be surprised to learn that it was custom made from one of the top haute-couture Paris...
