Exceptional late 1950s evening gown by high-end British fashion house Frank Usher, crafted in a striking shade of azure blue, complete with iridescent metallic jacquard detail. The bodice has a squared off neckline and thick straps, with a slight V shaped plunge to the rear. The dress fastens down the back with an original blue metal zip, concealed with a placket, and is topped off with a hook and eye closure. The skirt features a large bow detail to the front middle section, with the second tier gathered slightly to add volume to the lower portion. The front of the skirt is shorter than at the rear, allowing for movement and showcasing the wearer’s chosen heels! The inside of the top section of the dress is lined in a coordinating acetate colour, with the lower portion lined in a stiff blue mesh to create volume and structure. The dress fabric is the real star of the show with a sheen when it catches the light, finished off in a champagne toned iridescent jacquard pattern, reminiscent of winter trees or more abstract branch...

A breathtaking Hattie Carnegie couture whimsical hand-painted cream silk gown dating back to the early 1950's. Hattie Carnegie led a fashion empire that set the pace of American fashion for nearly three decades. She imported Paris designs, produced custom designs and a ready-to-wear collection. Even women who could not afford to buy Carnegie originals felt the influence of her style in the many mass-market copies of her work. Carnegie made numerous trips to Paris every year, buying and importing the models of designers such as Vionnet, Chanel, Christian Dior and Schiaparelli. The gorgeous large scale watercolor motif used for this ethereal beauty has a timeless allure that I find irresistible. The unique hand-painted semi sheer silk fabrication really sets this gown apart from others during this era. It almost has a Gilbert...
