This Malcolm Starr silk dress is absolutely stunning and it is this kind of dress that I think of and love when I think this label. The color has a touch more of a green undertone then how it presents in the photos and is quite pretty in person! It has an air of refinement and elegance to it through the combination of the silk and the thick panels of beading. The dress itself is a simple cut - an almost sculptural A-line with capped sleeves and a scooped neck. Beautiful detailing at the neck and on each sleeve. These are beaded and sequined in bands that circle each. Wonderful piece and in excellent condition!
Fully lined in a cream silky rayon and closes with a back painted metal zipper. Hidden pockets along front seam. The faintest of marks near the front hem in certain lights only - super size to see

A beautiful graphic print silk chiffon dress that has that perfect balance between a bit of glamor and day appropriate wear. I love the contrasting print between the top and skirt and how she used that same black print on to anchor the hem. A small ruffle sits on the neck and each sleeve for a pretty feminine touch. The original tie belt is present and it has been cut extra long so you can wrap it and draw in the waist. Really fabulous day piece! Excellent, appears unworn condition

A stunning hostess gown by Kiki Hart has a touch of the East to it through its design that has been screened onto the silk back drop. The fabric is just beautiful - semi sheer and with a ribbon weave effect to create that stunning design. The top skims over the body and the sleeves each have a slight puff effect to them. I love the bold use of that dramatic black silk ribbon at the waist. This tops a full skirt that has a beautiful bell shape as is cascades tot eh floor. The entire dress has been covered with clear sequins spaces slightly apart so you can this wonderful subtle glimmer. A real beauty! Excellent condition
Fully lined with a nude net through the bodice and a black silky rayon through the skirt. Closes with a back painted metal zipper. The bow at the waist is attached and hooks under the front bow to close into place. Perhaps a missing sequin here or there but because the are clear and spaces apart you would never notice!

This is an amazing and quite beautiful dress by Oscar de la Renta. It is really one of my favorites that I have had. A pale, pale baby blue floral design is masterfully screened onto two types of silk. The jacket is a silk chiffon and the dress is made of a scarf weight silk that is then lined in silk chiffon. The style is very flattering - it just slips on and then you cinch on the waist with the ties that run through a loop around the waist. Pretty piping makes the straps and neckline and it all has a soft, romantic draped feel to it that is just sublime. The jacket it a pretty way to add a bit off coverage without bulk and then when you take it off the dress is all refined sexiness. Excellent, appears unworn condition
Fully lined in an off-white silk chiffon and the jacket is unlined. The dress slips on to wear and then you adjust the waist with the built in waist tie. The jacket has a piped tie at the neck and each cuff closes with a fabric covered snap. Note the sizing is a touch deceptive as its meant to drape a bit - this one will work on a smaller frame as well as what the actual measurements put it as.

A gorgeous goddess feel, draped maxi dress that drapes and moves wonderfully because of the light chiffon fabric used to construct it! It makes this amazing dress be both flattering and dramatic! Pretty tones of blue are printed on a light chiffon that drapes perfectly over an inner built in dress, giving it a wonderfully romantic and exotic feel. The fabric on the exterior has a striped pattern worked into it and gives the effect of depth and texture. I love the solid blue used at the hem and cuffs to anchor the design. The sleeves are very full and gather in at each wrist with an elastic cuff and the skirt flows to the ground in a swath of lightness. The original fabric tie cinches in the waist in a pretty and flattering touch. It is extremely flattering, easy to wear and high on drama. Excellent condition!

A stunning sixties dress from Oscar De La Renta in a soft and romantic light lavender mixed with a burnt red silk voile. Such an unusual color combination and yet it works well! The sleeves are very full are almost cut right from the waist! The have been left unlined and each snaps to close at the wrist, creating a wonderful airy puff effect. The collar is notched and it buttons at the front. The skirt billows out from the waist . I love how the red is used to contrast and highlight the design. I love it! Excellent condition

I love the lightness and airiness created by the chiffon and the brilliant mix of colors. The outer layer of fabric is cut on the bias and there are yards and yards used to make this little beauty. The bodice is cut simply with a sexy front plunge. The waist is highlighted with an attached bit of fabric that is set so that it angles up and into the base of the V neck. This creates a nice long and lean line and is very flattering! That spectacular full skirt then flows beautifully to the floor from there. The little cape that comes with it sits on the shoulders and add a pretty detail and flowing feel to the dress. It is very pretty and fresh feeling - a girl will dance the entire night away in a dress like this. Excellent, appears unworn condition

Silk voile is one of my favorite fabrics - it hold color exceptionally well and it is very light but still has a touch of structure to it so when it is used in layers like this you get a wonderful sense of volume without bulk or heaviness. The color palette on this is just exceptional. It is a confection of ruffles really! A ruffle circles the neck and each wide sleeve ends in one! The skirt is a marvel - literally yards of silk in a huge circle with a wide ruffled edge. It is cut slightly longer in the back and the effect is just wonderful - it begs to be danced in! It is an early label piece and very beautiful! Excellent condition
Fully lined with a nude silk except for the sleeves. Closes with a back painted metal zipper. There is a small, well done repair under one arm and a touch of thinning to the fabric near the shoulder. It has been priced accordingly taking these two tiny issues into account

I am such a fan of Joy Stevens work - she made amazing jersey dresses out of her design studio in California during the 1970s and they are really some of the nest jerseys of the time period. She concentrated on easy to wear day pieces and designs that ruled the night clubs of the seventies. Her work typically has a sexy but easy to wear feel to it. They were the type of thing you just threw on, looked fabulous in, and could dance until 3am without worrying about how they would hold up. Her best pieces were made from a fluid jersey (like this piece) and this allowed them to both move and wear well. This dress is made from that signature fabric and is a great little dress. The front of the dress is gathered into the center and then it has three straps set on each side that go up and around the neck. These then cross at the back. This leaves the back almost completely bare for a sexy bit of skin to show. The skirt falls to the floor and is cut so that it drapes from just under the bust-line. Most of her dresses are a solid color so I love that this one is finished in a pretty print. Excellent condition.
The dress is unlined and made of a synthetic jersey knit - it will stretch another inch or so from the listed measurements if needed. It closes with a back painted metal zipper and ties around the neck

This is a beautiful scarf weight silk dress by Ungaro. When you think of this time period for Ungaro you tend to think of those fitted ruched dresses but I find this one very refined and refreshing. The cut is sublime and the silk used is a very high grade and feels wonderful when on. The skirt is knife pleated and has a contrasting print all around the hem. That same contrasting panel is used to define the bodice, waist, front and cuffs. The neck has an attached tie and I love how it closes under that offset strip that ties into the waist! Wonderful! Excellent, appears unworn condition
Unlined and closes with buttons at the front and on each cuff. The tie at the neck is attached and part of the dress

Made of a stunning combination of red on pink and deep hued greens on silk, this Suzy Perette dress is a beauty! The front is is simple with a curved and plunged neckline that is mirrored in the back except the back plunge goes quite deep. The waist nips in with flat seaming that gives the illusion of overlapping and being caught up with that wonderful fabric covered, large button at the front. A soft pleat has been worked into each hip and these gently open to give the volume the skirt has. This seaming and use of pleats and flat panels cleverly draws the eye into the waist and gives the illusion of an even greater nipped in waist and hourglass silhouette. I love the rounded shoulders and just below the elbow length sleeves. The skirt has the perfect amount of fullness that allows you wear it with or without a light crinoline (shown without) and not be too overwhelmed by volume. Amazing fabric and in excellent condition.

A classic YSL piece, this deep blue velvet coat will never go out of style! Front slant pockets allow for a cool girl slouch and the top portion is cut wider and fuller with a slimmer hip. It buttons down the front. I love the wide, bold shoulders that have a bit of padding in them and each sleeve buttons at the cuff with a single, working, button. A take on a man's coat, it is classic Yves gender play! Excellent condition!
Fully lined in a deep blue silk and buttons to close. Note that the hips are smaller and the top cut larger as was the style - if the top fits you can wear it unbuttoned and if the hips fit you, expect to to feel slightly over-sized through the top probably! It was meant to be like this!

Amazing Mugler jacket that is long enough to wear as a mini if you dare! It has that classic Mugler sculpted quality to it that collectors look for! I love the fabric with its colors woven through the blue base. Each hip has his signature curved detailing and it has that wasp waist feel! The buttons are special too - each is an iridescent blue with rhinestones set into them. A low front and notched collar give the front some sex appeal. The final perfect detail is that little seam of fabric that runs down each arm! Quintessentially Mugler and a rare brighter color! Excellent condition

I love the slight military feel that this deep ink blue suit has. Its Miss Dior and is constructed to extremely high standards - all hand and properly finished with every stitch! The Skirt is cut on an A-line and has a nice sharp feel to its lines. The jacket has those amazing steel colored metal buttons and I love the two top pockets. It is cut very square but it has a belt to soften it and give the wearer some shape. Remarkably this suit comes its two original belts! The tops of each belt is an almost rubberized patent and this makes them "stick" slightly so you don't get that hanging belt end thing happening. It is just remarkable! Made of a wool that is heavy enough to hold the shape but not so heavy that it is uncomfortable to wear. Excellent condition
Fully lined in a deep blue tissue silk that is hand finished. Proper finished button holes and has the two original belts that are both in excellent condition. The jacket buttons to close and the skirt has a painted metal zipper and hook & eye at the waist.

Drop dead gorgeous bombshell pin up dress from Lilli Diamond! This is an earlier piece and really shows off the femme fatale look of this time. Made of a black silk taffeta that has that whispering rustle sound to it when ever you move, it instantly makes you feel old Hollywood glamorous. The skirt is fitted and has a fabulous side swag of black lace with rhinestones scattered throughout. The waist cinches in of course and the bodice has a crossed over effect. One side is covered in that same lace with scattered rhinestones like the skirt detailing. Wonderful, sexy piece in that old Hollywood kind of way and in excellent condition.
Partially lined with a nude silky rayon (one side of the bust and the front of the skirt) and closes with a back, painted metal zipper.

Utter simplicity is sometimes all that is needed especially when it comes packaged as Chanel! Made from a stretch crepe jersey in a fine light wool and silk mix this fabulous little dress is so easy to wear and instantly chic! Sleeveless and cut to skim the body it flows in a column from shoulder to floor. The back has a slit and this buttons to close with a row of Chanel buttons! It is so comfortable and sublime!

A classic black dress never goes out of style and this one is a clever play on a men's tux whole still feeling completely female. It is constructed from a high quality black silk that holds the sculptural shape of the dress but is not too heavy to wear once on. The top is cut in a simple design with wide straps that curve up and around each shoulder. The front has a pretty scooped neckline that is mirrored on the back. I love the double row of buttons that sits at the front under the belt and suggest the feel of a formal tuxedo but not in a literal way, just enough that it is an interesting detail. All of the buttonholes set behind each bold button are properly finished even though those buttons are decorative only. This is a great sign of the care and attention to detail that went into this piece and really shows the quality. The skirt flows over the hips and is cut on an A-line with a beautiful sculptural feeling to it. The lower hem is accented by a panel of the same fabric with the weave of the fabric set the opposite way giving is a visual contrast when the light hits it. A really great piece. Excellent condition
Fully lined in a black silky rayon and closes with a back painted metal zipper. The very tiniest hint of fading along the very upper edge of the interior arm sleeve - I am being extremely picky but it is noted for accruracy - it is not something that shows once on. The belt is original and closes with hook & eye that can be adjusted easily for the perfect fit.

Mac Tac is right up there with Leonard in my books in terms of print and quality. Ironically this label was produced by a parent company called Leonard Sunshine! Made from a beautifully printed fluid jersey that drapes and moves fabulously! I love the blue based red color and the way the print comes up from the hem. It has a nice sexy plunge front and the waist is defined by the band and attached ties. Excellent, appears unworn conditon.

Constructed from a chocolate colored silk sating with fabulous off white front accents that are also on the cuffs. I adore the flat silver grey piping used to highlight the design.

Love this sexy little knit dress by Missoni. It is a sleek sheath of fluid, fine knit that is topped by a triangle style top and criss cross straps at the back. The back is left almost completely bare and it weighs ounces! The knit has metallic thread woven through it so the dress has a subtle glimmer. It skims and clings over the body but in a forgiving way, helped by the angled print that draws the eye in and the amazing cut! Excellent condition

Fabulous little outfit by Ungaro with a slight contrast between the top and skirt created by fabric and patter. Both have that little abstract dot pattern bu the top has additional shapes and the design is highlighted by gold paint in the outlines. The fabric play against each other with the top a fluid silk satin that is very light weight and sensual feeling and the skirt a more crepe like silk. Very well amde and lovely one!

Easy to wear, fabulous, 1960s Oscar De La Renta Boutique dress in a poly nylon. That means it twill ravel like a dream and you can throw it on after a day at the beach or when you are just out for cocktails - it won't wrinkle and feels great on - nice and light and airy! The colors are just beautiful - a palette of a sunny yellow mixed with pops of reds, greens and pinks. I love the floral design that covers the entire dress should to hem. It also has a dash of the exotic with its offset border edged in a floral motif. That same detailing is used on each cuff and the tie belt. The sleeves each cuff in at the wrist so a slight billowing effect is created. Really fantastic piece and very dramatic! Excellent, appears unworn condition.

A killer wiggle dress by Suzy Perette! The entire shape has been created through the careful placement & cut of the vertical seams that come out above and below the waist- all done to create that wonderful hourglass shape. The front has a panel of fabric that crosses over the front. It is secured on the opposite shoulder and creates a bold geometric shape! I love that even though this treatment is not meant to actually unbutton the buttonholes are still finished off properly. The fabric is a light felted feeling wool in a deep oxblood. I can't go one enough about this piece - it really is extraordinary and I know I will regret listing it once it goes - the pictures do not come close to doing it justice. Excellent condition.

The skirt on this dress is cut so skinny that I could not get it on a mannequin! On a real girl it is walkable because of the way the opening is cut but all my mannequins have set legs that would not accommodate the cut! Just know that it cut to give you maximum curves and basically fit you like a glove! Red silk is gathered up the front and into a high peak strapless bodice, The back laces up corset style and even off the hangar the dress has curves. The back is tiered under the butt and slit high. The bottom is cut into two points that trail down your legs - you could potentially tie these to create a complete bondage look. Utterly in your face sexuality and a rare find!

This is an extremely well made little graphic shift dress from the sixties that just perfectly sums up that era! Made of a mix of a chocolate brown silk with a silk linen skirt that has bold green and pink blocks. The block pattern is picked up at the neck with a tie in that same fabulous fabric! I love the little details - the single top stitched pocket on the bust and the perfectly finished button holes on each cuff. It is all hand finished and has a good solid very well made feel to it! Really wonderful! Excellent, appears unworn condition

I think this is the best knit dress I have had on the site! It is just that perfect through it on with boots or tights and look instantly chic. Made of a chunky knit that somehow manages not to make the wearer look too bulky and thick. The sleeves are cut wide and each has a huge cuff at its end. I love the top set hip pockets and the way the skirt flares out! The turtleneck is loose and dramatic - everything about this dress is perfection! Coveted earlier label Chloe. Excellent condition

Lovely and simple, this Pierre Balmain dress is perfect for the summer months and will transition into fall with the addition of a jacket or sweater. I love the pretty blue scattering of flowers on the backdrop of printed silk voile - the contrast between the two patterns is wonderful. It has two tiny shoulder straps and then the dress flows to the floor from there, gradually widening as it reaches the hem to create a soft and pretty A-line. It has just a suggestion of waist as it skims over the torso and hips. It's the perfect and easy dress that can be styled up or down and worn day to evening. Very simple, very pretty and very well made. Excellent condition

A great Jean Varon that is actually quite constrained for him! Normally his pieces are head to toe pattern and this one has a beautiful simple A-line cut, to the floor skirt done in a fabric that is one shade off a true white. This is then topped by a scarf weight rayon twill which is printed in a typical sixties/seventies feeling pattern of blues and pinks. Love the scooped neck and skinny sleeves. The dress gets a touch a high drama with a wide patent belt in a deep ink blue that cinches in the waist! Excellent condition!
Fully lined in a white silky rayon. Closes with a back painted metal zipper and each cuff has a small painted metal zipper. The belt is a deep blue patent - it has one hole that has lost its border but is in excellent shape.

How sexy is this dress?! It is just amazing! Classic Biba with its small, triangle halter style cups from which the skirt flows to the floor in a wide A-line. It completely buttons down the front and I love the light weight cotton fabric that has been dyed to look like denim. It is very simple but very wonderful and undeniably special and sexy. Really good Biba pieces are getting harder and harder to find and this one is amazing - it really is one of the best of the best by Biba from this era! Excellent condition!
Unlined and closes at the front with the buttons as shown - note that on a girl smaller then my mannequin the buttons will sit closed better - this barely fit my mannequin. The fabric has a light bit of fading to it which is intentional and a natural part of the aging process - I do not consider it a flaw but a patina that adds to the look of ti! Note that the very last900oikm o button is missing - priced accordingly.

Mila Schon makes extraordinarily well made clothes and this fabulous little black dress is no exception. It is a classic shift shape and is made out of a combination of silk and cotton. I love that you can wear it is as loose and easy shift or you can create shape with the belt. It came from the estate of a wealthy Texan who bought bought bough but did not wear her purchases including this one, so it is in perfect, just off the rack condition. The top stitch detailing on the collar and neck is fabulous. The dress has that chic Hampton's feel that you know always looks perfect and is an easy throw on an go option. Excellent, unworn condition.

I Have a Question
This is a sexy and stunning dress by Giambattista Valli. The dress is classic Valli at his best. It is fitted and the inside is finished like a corset - this holds the almost micro mini firmly in place. The fabric is a heavy silk with an almost neoprene feel finish which allows it to really hold its shape. The skirt is a sharp little A-line that carries right up under the bust. The bodice makes a girl feel wrapped like a perfect little present with a bow set at the front. The inner construction is fabulous. A spectacular Valli and very sexy. Excellent condition
Has a full built in corset that is cupped and boned and closes with hook & eye. Fully lined in silk that is all hand set. It closes with a side hidden set zipper. It has some stretch so it really holds the wearer once on.

This is a fantastic suit from Geoffrey Beene and shows his love of sharp geometric shapes and love of adding pops of color onto a black base. The skirt is fitted and lean and the jacket has a strong silhouette that skims the torso and goes down and over the hip. The neck is high and all the closures are hidden so that you get this fantastic unbroken line. Onto the jacket are two abstract triangles of color that are top stitched - a green on the front and a burgundy one on the back. Each of these has a ribbon tie extending from a point and you wrap and tie these around to create some shape! Very graphic and very chic! Excellent, appears unworn condition.
Both pieces are fully lined in silk and beautifully finished. The skirt closes with a hidden set zipper and the jacket closes with hidden buttons at the front.

Sexy nylon gown by the great John Kloss who was an Ossie Clark contemporary and did mainly lingerie pieces with a few draped goddess jersey gowns thrown in for good measure. I love his work. He deliberately chose good weight and quality nylons that held the color well and would drape exactly as he wished. This white goddess feel gown is simply cut and is done in a pristine white nylon. It has a drop dead sexy front plunge and Grecian feel elastic gathers under the bust and at the waist. The skirt has yards and yards of fabric and cascades out from there. It is semi sheer but could be worn out as a dress with nude undergarments or clever styling. Truly a beauty and in fantastic condition!

Wonderful full length nylon jersey dress in a a off-white. The skirt flows to the ground in a cascade of fabric- there are yards of fabric in that skirt! The halter top is quite stunning with a low plunging front and halter style top that goes up and around the neck. It closes at the nape of the neck and then the back is left basically bare. The waist has a pretty illusion cut out detailing made of embroidered applique and highlighted with rhinestones. Perlberg made these pieces to be danced in and this one would look amazing twirling across the dance floor! Very Grecian goddess and very sexy. Excellent condition
Backed in a second layer of the same poly nylon jersey as the exterior. Closes with hook and & eye at the back of the neck and a low painted metal zipper.

This dress is pretty sexy! It is made out of a simple poly jersey and the skirt is cut on a wide A-line. That skirt comes right up and over the torso where it is topped by a sequin encrusted bra/halter top! The sequins are a deep charcoal pewter hue. I simple tie of jersey loops through the front key hole and ties around the neck, The back is left basically bare except for the tie of fabric that keeps the top in place! Very Studio 54 and very sexy! Excellent condition!
Unlined though the skirt with a rayon black backing on the bodice. It closes with a low back zipper and the bodice ties at the back. The skirt is a polyester jersey. The bra cups are probably best suited for an A - B cup

A stunning, hand painted gown from Zandra Rhodes that was most likely a custom order and it is not a far stretch of the imagination to think that it could have been used as a wedding gown even! It has a delicious Medieval feel to it with its cut out shoulders and high set bodice. Gold silk organza is pleated in the a Fortuny style and used to create the sleeves and again though the body of the dress. Onto this is a pink silk chiffon, hand painted with little clusters of gold stars - panels swirl down each side of the hip and have her signature cut out edging. The bodice has a gold lace overlay onto which faux pearls are hand applied. A swath of pink silk rings the collar and is secured by large pink toned pearls, it is just extraordinary and very special! Excellent, appears unworn condition!
Fully lined in a pink rayon and closes with a back painted metal zipper. The cuffs and "shoulders" of the sleeves have pink braided cord that you tie to tighten and hold in place. Fabric is hand painted

Killer Missoni knit gown in their signature multi-hued print! Cut like a Grecian Goddess gown it has a deep front and back plunge. Sleeveless and with a bit of gathering at the bust, the bodice flows into a nipped in waist and then the skirt cascades to the floor. I love the bias cut feel the light knit gives and the movement that this creates through the skirt. It is entirely lined in silk so feels decadent and sexy one! Excellent, appears unworn condition!

A very pretty floral print dress by Diane Freis made of a poly georgette, her preferred fabric of choice. Freis dresses tend to be the same sort of gypsy style - a loose bodice and full sleeves with a tie at the neck. The waist is a wide elastic gathered band so the fit is crazy easy and comfortable. The skirt is full from there and has lots of fabric. I loved this one in particular for its pretty inset panel skirt - a detail I have not seen on one of her dresses before. It's a great throw on and go summer dress that will work into fall as well. Very pretty and in excellent, appears unworn condition.

Fabulous Geoffrey Beene Set that is a testament ot what can be achieved with the choice of fabric! It looks like it should be heavy but the set is shockingly light in weight. The chenille used in a very fine and light - almost more like a silk velvet but with the texture of chenille. The silk taffeta used with it is also very fine grade and it has been hand painted with gold, has voided squares of applied velvet and a crumpled texture deliberately worked into it. It is quite beautiful! The dress is a simple tank suspended by silk ribbon piping. The jacket is over sized as was typical at this time period with a loose an easy cut. The chenille lines the jacket and it is so well done that if not for the inner labels you could flip it inside out and wear it either way! Really remarkable in person! Excellent, appears unworn condition.
Unlined and slips on. The jacket has gold metal buttons to close.

A stunning late 1970s Valentino dress made of his signature linen fabric that has been custom screened with huge blooms! Every detail about this dress is fabulous! The strapless bodice is very fitted and the inner bodice has been pin-tucked all the way around. Onto this is that floral fabric and is covers the back and then ties at the front making a very pretty detail! The skirt has this same spirit of layering - the inner skirt is the solid black linen over which a shorter skirt of that fabulous floral linen is placed. The effect is wonderful and the dress has that amazing Italian summer feel! I love it! Excellent condition

I love the deep hued green that the lace on this lovely set ha sheen dyed to. It's such an unusual choice of color for lace and feels shockingly modern. It is actually a dress that has a nude silk bodice underneath and a tunic that is semi- see through that slips over that. It is really wonderfully constructed too! The inner dress has a stiffened inner waist band that makes it feel very couture when on. The skirt is cut slim and lean. The tunic is a simple lace shell that slips over the head and settles perfectly in place. Very chic and very beautiful in person! Excellent, appears unworn condition
The inner dress has a double layer of silk through the bodice and the skirt is lined in black silk organza. It closes with a back zipper and the inner stay closes with hook and eye. The tunic has snaps along one shoulder.

The edges of the collar and the hem of the skirt are done in a pretty round scallop. I just adore this detail - it just is that little extra touch that you find in vintage tat you don't find anymore! The top is cut loose and boxy with an interesting double row of buttons down the front. The skirt is cut to skim the hips and cinch in at the waist. It comes with its original long silk tie sash that you can style at the waist or the neck. The colors are so pretty on person - if you like the photos you will love it in person! Excellent condition and very well made.

The fabric is so soft - it is made of a soft, light flannel cotton that is like a baby Tee! The cut has a definite prairie feel to it with its tiny floral pattern and little ruffle detailing on the shoulders. It has a pretty dip in the front and has an attached loop at the front just under that dip for the tie that you can wrap to add some definition. I love that you can wear it that way or very loose and smock style! A pretty ruffled finish runs around the hem! Very pretty. Excellent condition.

This is a fabulous 1970s Leonard done in a beautiful floral black and white graphic. I love the wide A-line cut skirt that flows to the ground and is actually quite wide as it nears the floor despite the fact that it skims over the hips below the waistline. The silk chiffon overlay gives it a beautiful airy feel too! The waist has a bit of extra definition with the contrasting banding that is also used on each cuff. The sleeves are billowing poufs of chiffon and are fabulous! The front plunges and has an attached low tie detail. The contrast between the pattern on the jersey underlay and the chiffon parts is just amazing! Excellent overall condition with two small repairs - please read details below.
Unlined and closes with a hand set, back painted metal zipper. Each sleeve closes with a fabric covered buttons. The fabric of the body is all a poly jersey and has stretch. The sleeves and skirt overlay are silk chiffon. There is a repair under each arm to the silk near the seam where it weakened and had to be fixed. It is visible when laid out but when on you won't see it since there is so much volume. There is the slightest discoloration here as well but again when on its fine. Its too fabulous not to list and I have priced it accordingly. Present perfectly when on.

What a fabulous checked Jean Varon dress! Made of a beautiful cotton fabric it is easy to wear and has wonderful lines. The bodice is cut to fit to the body and has a deep front and back plunge. The skirt is quite dramatic and cut on an A-line to the floor. The fabric helps it to feel full. I love how he took strips of a smaller checked fabric and used them as flat piping to highlight the cut of the bodice. It manages to be sexy and yet feel a little bit innocent at the same time!

Super rare Bill Blass Knitwear label that is a full length maxi. dress! It is a wonder of mixed ribbing pattern. Made of a fine wool knit whose top is a thicker ribbed knit that turns into the finer knit skirt. The edges are scalloped around the neckline and the cuffs. I love the skinny fit and the long lean look. If you have the right body type for this piece, this is sure to be one of your absolute favorite pieces ever!
