Black Silk Moiré Jeweled Tea Dress and Red-Lined Opera Coat Ensemble - XS, 1950s

About the Item

Incredible as separates and magnificent worn together, this ensemble is both formal and whimsical thanks to the dress's shorter length and full skirt. The coat--featuring a brilliant red lining and trapeze-style sweep--can easily hold its own with other outfits; the dress's corset-sewn waist is nothing short of fashion sculpture. Unforgettable. Matching circle dress and opera coat set of black silk moiré. Sleeveless dress features plunging front and rear neckline and 12 princess seams around full bodice circumference for corset-style fit; bead and rhinestone detail at front bodice and shoulders. Drop waist with full circle skirt; notch at front center bust. Rear metal zipper closure with hook and eye at rear center neck; interior hanging loops. Matching opera coat features pointed shawl collar, curved rear yoke and ¾ point-inset dolman sleeves; on-seam pockets each side. Trapeze construction with clutch front and no closures of any kind. Dress lined in red acetate at shoulders and upper bodice, and in horse hair backing around waist; coat fully lined in red acetate. fabric: silk moiré, acetate, horsehair noteworthy: dry clean only repairs: none condition: very good with light interior wear on dress only measurements: •dress• neckline opening: 12 ½” across neckline drop: 6” at front (not including 1” notch), 8” at back shoulders: 18” from shoulder edge to edge bust: 34” natural waist: 24” drop waist: 28” hips: free bodice length: 10 ½” from underarm, 17” from shoulder (to drop waist) skirt length: 22” total length: 32 ½” from underarm, 39” from shoulder sweep: 150” •coat• collar: 2 ½” at widest shoulders: approx. 16” sleeve: 13” from underarm, approx. 15” from shoulder sleeve circumference: 16” at upper arm, 9” at forearm bust: free waist: free hips: free length: 30” from underarm, 39” from shoulder sweep: 94” label: no label present size: no size tag present; comparable to modern size extra small

Milly Brown Satin Cone Bra Bolero and Petrol Ruched Pencil Skirt Suit - XS, 2002

By Milly New York

Located in Tucson, AZ

Angular, sexy and powerful from top to bottom, this satin suit is built of two pieces that can be worn together, as separates, or with our complementary Milly Autumn Roses suit listed under separate cover. With a sly nod to Gaultier’s fierce conical bodices and a skintight ruched pencil skirt that cups the derrière, the set has an edgy femininity that demands attention. The lining of each piece matches the exterior of the other, creating a sophisticated, intentional mismatch. Mismatched skirt and jacket set with complementary lining. Chocolate satin jacket features gently conical bust, surplice bracelet sleeves and 2” self ruffle around all edges. Clutch silhouette with no closures; fully lined in petrol silk to match skirt. Skirt features front and back 7” wide ruched panels from waist to hem for extra narrow fit; left side notch at knee for ease of walking. Left zipper closure; lined in brown silk to match jacket. fabric: silk satin noteworthy: dry clean only condition: excellent with original tags unattached repairs: none measurements •jacket• shoulders: 14” sleeve length: 19” from shoulder, 13” from underarm sleeve circumference: 13” bust: to 38” length: 16” from shoulder, 17” from rear neck (not including 2” ruffle around neck), 8 ½” from underarm sweep: 34” •skirt• waist: 25 ½” hips: 35” length: 23 ¼”including 1 ½” plain waistband sweep: 33” with side slit closed, 36” open hem: 1” side slit: 4 ½” label: Milly of New York...
