White and Silver Ballerina or Wedding Dress with Removable Red Trim – XS, 1950s
Located in Tucson, AZ
Why not throw a little Hell-bent red into your virginal white dress? The silver filigree embroidery imparts a distinctly Nutcracker-Ballet-Snow-Fairy feeling, but the red implies pure “charm school dropout.” A lovely exercise in contradictions that would also make a precious tea-length wedding gown by simply removing the red fringe. Strapless sweetheart party dress with shelf bodice and split front triple-layer tulle skirt; flexible boning in front and back princess bodice seams. Silver metallic filigree embroidery around full circumference of shelf bodice and down skirt split, plus red tulle...

Vintage 1950's Pierre Balmain Couture Creme Beaded Embroidered Silk Bridal Gown
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
Breathtaking mid-1950's creme silk satin ballgown attributed to Pierre Balmain. This iconic designer created a very sculptural quality which was always allied with a ladylike essence. His garments have a body and a shape of their own. This absolutely stunning French couture dress is fashioned from the most luxurious materials and of the finest craftsmanship, resembling Pierre Balmain's "Jolie Madame" collection. In 1947 he opened a boutique on the ground floor of his couture house, which he named "Jolie Madame". These pieces were not out-sourced nor factory mass produced. They were made a few at a time, in the designer's own workroom, exactly as if a client had ordered multiple duplicates of a couture design with Balmain's extraordinary workmanship still readily apparent. The bodice is a seductive fully-boned twisted knot shelf-bust with gorgeous pleating. Sumptuous embroidery and beadwork add sensational 3-dimensional richness to the silhouette. The hourglass drop-waist full skirt construction finished this ballgown with the perfect ethereal vibe. I totally see this satin couture show-stopper gliding down the red carpet. Measurements Bust:33-34 inches Waist:25 inches Hips: Free Sweep Total Length:60 inches This couture ballgown...
