Gorgeous and incredibly rare Madame Grès haute couture sculpted black silk dress ensemble dating back to the early 1950's. Madame Grès felt that the true job of the couturier was not to create a name for one's self, as many designers do, but to pay rigorous attention to the clothing. This stunning set has so much detail, you can tell it was made with loving devotion. The alluring bodice has a low-cut scoop neck with flattering short sleeves. My favorite designer element is the dramatic back bow with chic cut-out. The matching jacket has a shawl-like front with a stunning cropped back. I'd wear the jacket alone with other looks for a unique bolero option. The sculpted panel style skirting ,which looks incredibly hard to mold, reads so fresh to the modern eye...

50s Emma Domb Black Chiffon Tiered Dress

The Bindalli Caftan is a garment made for special occasions such as weddings. Bindallis were worn by the bride, and her female family and friends. Marked by elaborate floral designs bindallis were decorated with dival embroidery, a technique in which metallic threads are applied to the ground fabric and stitched down rather than sewn into the fabric, embellished with pearls and other beads. Most bindallis were long dresses, worn with matching slippers. Elegant Moroccan Ottoman style caftan, velvet embroidered with Turkish gold threads and beads. This dark green maxi dress kaftan is embroidered and embellished by hand. One of a kind custom wedding Moroccan Ottoman style gown. The kaftan features a traditional neckline, with gently fluted embellished sleeves. Nice example of the traditional women wedding dress. Size Large: Measurements: Bust 40". Waist 38". Hips 40". Across shoulders 18"5. Sleeve length 20". Center back length 55". Jimmy Hendrix, Elvis Presley, Prince worn...

From the early 1950s comes this heavenly silk dress by Hattie Carnegie. Its nipped-waist silhouette is the perfect canvas for the gorgeous watercolor print that unfolds upon it: a blanket of pretty peonies in shades of pink, gray, white, lavender and, of course, Carnegie blue. “My clothes are built to show off the woman who wears them,” the American designer once said. “I like them to be simple—complicated and simple—to move well, to move with the times and a little ahead of them.” Still stunning today, this vintage treasure is a reflection of her philosophy—and a ladylike option for so many occasions, from a springtime luncheon to a summertime wedding or garden party. Measurements Size estimate: XS/S Bust: 32 inches Waist: 24 inches Hips: 34 inches Length: 42 inches This vintage Hattie Carnegie dress...
