1960s Couture Maggy Reeves Silk Gown
Maggy Reeves was a couture designer in Canada and her pieces are as rare as rare can be. It is a delight and privilege to be able to pass on a piece of her work! This dress is extraordinarily beautiful, It is constructed entirely of silk - the bodice is a soft slinky, high grade silk and the skirt is a heavy weight luxurious silk satin. The bodice has an almost dolman sleeve and is cut fairly simple with a dramatically scooped and plunged neckline. It is all hand finished and there is a weight attached tot he inside of the front scoop so that it sits perfectly in place when on. This top inserts into a high, sculpted waist to the floor skirt. The appearance is that it is a top tucked into the skirt but it is all one piece. The pleating in the skirt is meticulously done and it is constructed of long vertical panels that sweep up to the high waist where they are seamed in like a flute that the top blossoms from. The skirt is meticulously made and has a good solid weight to it due to the high yardage. We photoed it on Vickie to show you how stunning it sits on a real girl! The gown is a superb example of high end couture workmanship and in excellent condition. Item# DD849
