1960s Lancetti Haute Couture Gold Silk and Lurex Beaded Dress Suit

About the Item

This haute couture dress suit was created in the 1960s by Italian 'Alta Moda' label Lancetti. Founded in 1961, Pino Lancetti earned the nickname “tailor painter” for his collections inspired by renowned painters, creating clothes for Royal Princesses and the Italian glitterati during the 1960s and 1970s. Notable clients included Princess Soraya, Queen Paola of Belgium and Salima Aga Khan. The slip dress is cut from silk chiffon, lined in Habotai silk and the cocooning jacket is tailored the same length. Labelled inside the slip, it reads “LANCETTI ROMA”. The hand-crafted details of the jacket lend it an artistic quality, with delicate beadwork and sequins forming floral motifs across a wave-stitched web of metallic thread. A single hook-and-eye clasp secures the jacket at the neck. This couture piece is in very good to excellent vintage condition; there are some miniscule pinholes on the front of the slip and some very well executed repairs to the chiffon and organza fabric of the jacket. We could only see these when the ensemble was in hand as they are undetectable when worn. The slip is a best fit for a UK size 8, US 4 although the jacket, which is oversized would fit sizes bigger.

1960s Pucci Silk Pink Trouser Set With Rosette Print
By Emilio Pucci
Located in London, GB
This desirable 1960s pale pink trouser suit is by celebrated Italian designer Emilio Pucci and is vibrant, contemporary and in very good vintage condition, showing only gentle signs of wear. Pucci designs are synonymous with luxury and often in printed silk hosting bold geometric designs and this lovely ensemble is a fine earlier example of his trademark look. The sleeveless silk chiffon blouse features a rose-window style design in marine blue, lime green and fuchsia on a sugar pink background, subtly emblazoned with the designers signature. There is an open shirt style neckline and a gently scalloped hem. The silk linen trousers are straight legged with a tapered ankle line and are neatly tailored at the navel, fastening to the side with a zip and button closure. This gorgeous set is as smart as it is opulent and would best suit a US size 2, UK size 6 or smaller. Our model is a UK 6-8 and 5ft 4in (163cm) and this outfit fit her well. TOP : Bust - 36 Waist 36" Length - 24" TROUSERS: Waist - 24" Hip 34"" Length - 38" Notes on the designer: During the 1960s, Pucci's signature look reigned as the ultimate status symbol for the decade, having created a perfect transition between luxurious couture and ready to wear lounge suits...
