1984 Givenchy Haute Couture Documented Silk Petal Appliqué Velvet Hourglass Gown

About the Item

A breathtaking and truly timeless Givenchy haute couture petal appliqued silk velvet hourglass gown dating back to his 1984 fall/winter runway collection. Givenchy, the name itself evokes glamour, refined elegance, simplicity and style. Givenchy's trademark of sculpted lines and luxurious fabrics make his work easily recognizable. This gorgeous gown is a beautiful museum quality example of his brilliance. The fabric itself is a masterpiece! It's the softest black velvet with hundreds of sparkling crystals adorning silk petals that have been carefully placed over unique cut-outs. The crystals mimic morning dew found on flowers and the end result is beautiful. These three-dimensional petals create the perfect amount of drama to this showstopper. The seductive low cut sweetheart strapless has an impressive boned corset interior structure for perfect fit. The hourglass nipped-waist silhouette finishes this garment off with a perfect nod to 1940's femme fatale design. As shown, we were thrilled to find the original sketch! It is an exquisite piece of wearable custom couture art from one of the most important houses of the modern era. The pictures say it all. Measurements Bust: 32-33 inches Waist: 25 inches Hips: up to 36 inches Length waist to hem: 10 inches Length waist to hem: 46 inches This lifetime Givenchy haute couture gown is in excellent condition with no rips, stains or holes.

  • Vintage 1950's Madame Grès Haute Couture Sculpted Silk Back-Bow Dress & Jacket
    By Madame Gres
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Gorgeous and incredibly rare Madame Grès haute couture sculpted black silk dress ensemble dating back to the early 1950's. Madame Grès 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 set has so much detail, you can tell it was made with loving devotion. The alluring bodice has a low-cut scoop neck with flattering short sleeves. My favorite designer element is the dramatic back bow with chic cut-out. The matching jacket has a shawl-like front with a stunning cropped back. I'd wear the jacket alone with other looks for a unique bolero option. The sculpted panel style skirting ,which looks incredibly hard to mold, reads so fresh to the modern eye...
