Vintage Escada Dress in a Yellow Floral Silk Print by Margaretha Ley Size 8/10

About the Item

This is such a pretty Escada vintage dress, in a rich yellow silk print with beautiful tropical flowers in shades of pink, fuchsia, blue, orange and purple. The dress has cap sleeves, a side zipper with buttons above, and buttons up the back. We love the 1940's styling of this dress, which was so popular in the 1980's (but we think timeless), with an attached sash that ties at the hips. This dress was designed by Margaretha Ley in the 1980's and was made in West Germany and labeled a European size 40. We estimate it to fit a modern day US size M.. Escada was started by Margaretha Ley and her husband, Wolfgang in 1979. The Ley's named their company Escada, (which means staircase in Portuguese) after a racehorse, believing it would be good luck for their brand. Margaretha died in 1992. BUST: up to 40" WAIST: 30" HIPS: 40" LENGTH from top of shoulders: 43"

  • Vintage 1960's Gene Shelly Chartreuse Yellow Sequin Beaded Knit Cocktail Dress
    By Gene Shelley International Boutique, Gene Shelley
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Mid-century Gene Shelly designer garments are in a class of their own. They are always fully-sequined by hand and fit to flatter the figure. This early 1960's treasure has a fantastic abstract-deco design worked in, featuring iridescent-beadwork. The base is an ultra-soft chartreuse yellow wool-knit and the sequin work is done in the same hue. Just look at the detail pictures! Though the hourglass fit is rather seductive, the 3/4-length sleeves give it a balanced elegance that Gene Shelly is known for. I love the nipped-waist belted hourglass wiggle skirt! This is the type of garment celebrity vixens, like Marilyn Monroe, made infamous. Extraordinary and a rare find to be in such pristine condition. Measurements (The knit will allow stretch so you can safely add two inches to the below measurements) Bust: 34 inches Waist: 28 inches Hips: 36 inches Sleeve Length: 19 inches Total Length: 42 inches This vintage Gene...
