1960s Guy Laroche Couture Orange Silk Beaded Ensemble
About the Item
This mid to late 1960s couture ensemble was made by sophisticated Parisian atelier Guy Laroche. Composed of a skirt and three-quarter length sleeved top, it is crafted from luxurious pale champagne coloured silk which holds its shape. The ankle-length skirt is cut straight with select gathering at the waist which forms a gentle, elongated column silhouette. Two zips secure the front or the back if you prefer and mirror the panelled construction. The top is hand-beaded all-over with vibrant tangerine orange rocailles and glittering gold bugle beads; the cuffs and hem are finished with a fringe formed from loops of the orange rocailles. The top fastens at the back of the neck with a zip and hook-and-eye fastening. Both the skirt and top are unlined. Despite the top having a “Guy Laroche Boutique” label, the ensemble is constructed to the Atelier's' haute couture standards - there is no machine finishing on it.
This incredible ensemble is in excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note and is worthy of museum acquisition. There were a few bead loops missing but we have reworked the fringed hem so that this cannot be noticed. She displays beautifully and is wearable with care. Like many couture pieces, neither the skirt or top have a composition or size label so please check our measurements closely below. The top and skirt have no stretch to them. Our model is a UK 8-10 or US 4-6 and 5ft 11in (180cm) and this was a good fit on her.

1990s Couture Silk Floral Rose Print Dress and Jacket Suit
Located in London, GB
This enchanting 1990s printed silk 2 piece set is comprised of a simple shift dress and bolero to be worn as either as an ensemble or separates. The aesthetic is playful, summery and feminine and presents easily as formal or informal attire. The soft ivory silk is slightly embossed with an irregular texture atop a vibrant rose print design in sugar pink, canary yellow, sapphire blue and emerald green. The dress is sleeveless and broad straps are gathered at the shoulders. The full circle skirt is gathered into tight uniform pleats below the waist and flares generously to the calf. The hem is fluted in yellow satin to match the pretty satin rosette embellishments that feature on the waistband and atop of each shoulder. The bodice is lined in ivory silk.
The jacket has three quarter length sleeves which are gathered at the shoulder and the cuff to create an understated fairytale puff. The wide cuffs are embellished with satin rosettes to complement those on the dress, and the seams are fluted in matching yellow ribbon. This piece has a collarless round neck and falls into a central button stand which curves at the hem and hosts 4 x yellow lucite buttons. Tailoring below the bust brings the jacket neatly in at the waist when fastened, and a pretty peplum flares out over the hips. The peplum detail becomes more exaggerated at the reverse, where it is gathered into pleats to mirror the skirt. In pristine vintage condition, this charming set would best suit a US size 4, UK size 8 or smaller. Unlabelled couture...
