Like the other dress by Biba that I have in the shop right now, the sleeves on this dress stand out immediately. They are just amazing and really take this simple black dress to a whole new level. Each sleeve ends in a full circle cuff that circles the wrist and gives you really dramatic movement once the dress is on. In typical Biba fashion, the rest of the dress is kept simple and easy with a figure hugging silhouette. It is that perfect British mix of saucy, sexy and girl next door. The fabric used for the dress that fabulous black moss crepe that was favored by the British designers during this time period. The front bodice is fitted and plunges in a V. From there the black moss crepe fabric is cut on the bias and flows out from just under the V neckline on the bust all the way to the floor in a beautiful sweep of fabric that widens as it nears the ground. It is an amazing, original Biba dress that is extremely collectible and still very wearable and fresh feeling. A real treasure. Excellent condition.

Unlined and closes with a back painted metal zipper. The occasional but of sheen to the fabric here and there from it being cleaned and pressed over the years but nothing that really takes away from the dress or would be considered anything but normal vintage wear and patina.

This spectacular gown designed by the American couturier, James Galanos shows how he combined that sense of American sensibility with Parisian glamour. It is chic and sophisticated and yet it is bold design and in his fabric choices. Galanos was particularly known for his evening wear and this gown is an amazing example of his work. His work was on par with French couture and the workmanship is fabulous. He is considered one of the great American couturiers and his gowns reflect this in terms of construction and quality. Galanos dressed actresses, socialites, even First Lady Nancy Reagan and his work is held in the collections of all of the major museums around the globe. Hie work was selling for as high as $20,000 a dress by the eighties whoich works out to be about $60,000 + in today's dollars.

This gown combines black and gold stripes and he uses two different fabrics to create a beautiful contrast in texture. On the skirt the black stripes are contrasted with a muted gold stripe on a silk taffeta. On the bodice he chose a black silk velvet with gold stripes made from gold lame thread. The bodice is constructed like a simple tee that skims over the body and has a nod to sportswear in its design. Below this the skirt is set into the waist in tiny gathers all the way around. The skirt itself is fabulous and is deceptively sexy. At first glance it looks and falls like a ball gown skirt but upon closer inspection you see that is is made from three panels. The full back one and then two on each side at the front. In between each and down the front you have a high slit that shows a flash of leg when you sit or move. Under the silk panels is a layer of tulle that is edged in gold. A row of functioning gold buttons go from the waist to the top of the slit at the front. It is amazing. Excellent condition.

The gown in fully lined in a soft, fine black silk through the bodice and the skirt has attached layers of gold edged tulle under the top silk skirting. It closes with a back, hidden set zipper. Hand finished. Functional buttons along the top front of the skirt. It appears to have never been worn.

This is an absolutely incredible dress and once on the body it flows and drapes into place beautifully. It is from the 1970 collection and is documented in the "A To Biba" where a photo of a model wearing its twin was captured at the press launch party for the Biba make-up range on Kensington High Street in April of 1970. This is everything you look for in Biba dress, from the signature black moss crepe fabric that is so representative of this era, to the incredible flowing bias cut, to those amazing  Bishop cut sleeves. Those sleeves are the star of the show on this dress and they are incredible. This is classic Biba at its best and each billows out in a huge pouf of fabric above the elastic cuff. Above that they narrow to a slimmer fit over the upper arm which gives them balance and mimics the flared cut of the bodice and skirt. The front bodice is fitted and plunges quite low and it is gathered with seaming just under the bust. From there the black moss crepe is cut on the bias and flows from just under the bust to the floor in a beautiful sweeping column that widens as it nears the ground. The cut is supermodel long so it adds height to the girl wearing it. This is Biba at her best and even now feels incredibly relevant and modern. Excellent condition

This is a fabulous silk Sonia Rykiel set that really sums up her chic French girl style that always feels so chic and has so much charm to it. We lost Sonia last August and it feels even more special to know that this was a piece designed by her. The label tells us this is an early piece designed shortly after she launched her label or a few years into that. The silk is scarf weight and I love her signature combination of black with a chic taupe tan color. Stripes were her forte and this set used them beautifully. The pants are just perfection - they are cut wide with a slight flare cut at the ends and each is split deliberately up the sides. This split detail is mimicked on the tunic with also is split up each side. I love the way the stripes sit over each other once the two pieces are layered. The tunic is suspended from skinny straps and is cut to skim over the torso and flare out over the pant. My favorite detail is the front pockets that are sewn apron style and have a slight droop to them, again deliberate. This gives the set the final perfect touch for me. Together they are perfection but you could of course wear them separately as well. Excellent condition

Both pieces are unlined. The top slips on to wear with no closures and the pants close with a fine metal zipper at the side. Handwritten fabric tag. All hand finished inside. The seams on the side of the tunic are set inside out - again this is deliberate and a design detail

This is am amazing piece and a piece for a brave girl who wants to drop jaws. Its about as risque as you can get and even more so when you think of when it is from since it looks like it could have walked off a runway yesterday. The bodice is made of a texture black crepe chiffon with stitched lines running vertically from shoulder to waist. It is left completely sheer and the only thing covering your modesty are those rickrack panels of glossy black sequins. At the back the sequins run down the center of the back. The panels keep your modesty intact and the high neckline keeps it from moving. The waist nips in and is attached to the flared, wide legs. For the lower portion of the jumpsuit Varon used a textured "bubble" 3D fabric. It is amazing and I doubt you will see this one again. Excellent condition

This lovely dress is made from layers of black chiffon set in tiers over each other to create that pretty ruffled effect. This combination of ruffled tiers perfectly offset the black of it to give the dress a wonderful romantic feel. Each layer widens gently out as they near the floor and each panel of fabric is set so that it floats above each other and moves when you move. The bodice is cut with a slight scoop across the front and has two tiny straps that go up and around the shoulders. At the back it dips into a slightly lower scoop. I love that the straps and trim are a cream and each ruffled layer is finished with a cream stitch for the a little detailing. Note that it was a teeny bit small on the mannequin so on a girl that it fits properly it will of course zip all the way up, rather then being open at the very top as the photos show. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a black silky crepe rayon. It closes with a back painted metal zipper.

This black pleated full length cape is a wonderful example of Giorgio di Sant'Angelo's work and aesthetic. He first hit the fashion map when Diana Vreeland asked him to design clothing for a desert location shoot that starred Verushka in 1968. That shoot is now legendary - it created such a buzz that his clothing was instantly sought out by all the most fashionable women on the planet. In 1976 he dropped the "di" from his name giving us a post-1976 date for this. His pieces were sexy, bold and had a hippie flair to them that few other designers could match at the time. I love his work. This spectacular cape is constructed from an unusual perma-pleat fabric that is lightweight but gives it some structure and keeps the slim line  of the piece until you need to move around in it. It falls all the way to the floor in a full length swoop of fabric. The collar is gathered and it has ties running through it that allow you to loose or tighten that ruffle around the collar as you wish. This lets you have it so that it sits wide at the shoulder or tightly framing your neck. The lightness of the fabric gives it a billowing effect when you move and walk that is stupendous. A really lovely and romantic cape that will top just about anything. Excellent condition.

The cape is unlined and ties at the neck. It will fit any size

Length: 57-60" from neck to hem depending on how you tie the neck

This is a beautiful and romantic bias cut black chiffon, full length cape by Adolfo. Adolfo often did custom work for his clients who ranged form clients ranged from the Duchess of Windsor to Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Gloria Vanderbilt and Nancy Reagan. He won a Coty Award in 1969 for his head to toe women’s design. I love his work and though you most often see his more conservative suits here and there these days, he was actually quite flamboyant in his work during the early days. This spectacular cape is constructed from a lightweight black chiffon that falls all the way to the floor in a full length swoop of feather light fabric. At the neck are very long, attached ties in the same fabric and the neck is cut so that it sits wide at the shoulder instead of gathered up around the neck. The lightness of the silk gives it a billowing effect when you move and walk that is stupendous. A really lovely and romantic cape that will top just about anything. Excellent condition.

This Bill Blass dress is fabulous. It is the kind of dress that will stop people in their tracks. This is not from his main line and I rarely pick up this particular version of his label but I have to say that I was very impressed with this dress. The design is on point and the construction is very good. It would have definitely been the upper end of this line and the fact that it basically looks to have never been worn and is as crisp and fresh as when it was made certainly doesn't hurt. It is cut in a sleek column suspended from the tiniest of straps. You could tuck these in and wear this as a strapless piece if you wished. That huge black and white diamond pattern is created by squares of fabric placed piece by piece so the pattern is made. The yellow top stitch bow that sits on the top of the bust is the highlight above that great graphic feel. That pop of yellow is fantastic and the tops stitching gives it that perfect Blass touch. Excellent condition

This gorgeous Estevez dress is perfect for the summer and can easily work during the day or at night. The jersey has an almost swimsuit feel and will travel and wear extremely well. The cut is very flattering with a ling lean body, tiny straps and a built in bodice inside that gives you shape. This inside foundation would even allow you to tuck in the straps and wear this as a strapless dress is you wished.  The base is black and onto this is screened a graphic print of lilies in white and greys. It is so pretty and chic and still feels fresh and current. Louis Estevez worked for Jean Patou for two years before starting his own label in 1955 and had a long and successful career. Excellent condition.

It has a built in bodice with elastic that sits just under the bust and the rest of the dress is unlined. It closes at the back with a painted metal and nylon zipper.Note the straps are extra long and work best if you slip them over your head so they cross as photoed. Or you can shorten them to the perfect length if you prefer then to not cross

This is an absolute stunning silk chiffon dress from Chanel. It is truly one of the prettiest and chicest pieces I have seen from the label during this time period. It is made from feather light layers of a high quality, fine silk chiffon set to float over each each other through the skirt. The layering of the chiffon is used with a masterful hand to create light and dark areas where needed. The fabric is draped and gathered perfectly to create that gorgeous and feminine silhouette. The top is kept simple and chic with a high cut neckline at the front. At the back it dips into a low V to show some bare skin. Suspended within the bodice is a second layer of chiffon that covers the bust and keeps it from being completely transparent. A wide gathered panel of silk chiffon is set to wrap around the waist and define it. At the back this banding comes together to close with a series of tightly spaced gold metal embossed buttons that run down the back. Below this is the skirt flows and floats around you when you move. It is made from three layers of silk. Each layer wraps around the body and is cut to leave a soft hem that dips down at the sides and back. It is the perfect mix of sexiness and elegance. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a black silk chiffon and closes down the back with a series of tightly spaced gold metal embossed buttons over a hidden set zipper. The skirt has a touch of transparency to it. Light boning through the bust and sides.

John Kloss for Circa were originally intended as lingerie pieces the vast majority are too thin or too sheer to wear as proper dresses now. This one walks the edge, perhaps not to be worn on its own out in public with its open sides, but as a layering piece. It def has a touch of sheerness in a strong light but you could use it as a cover up, be daring and wear nothing but a slip under it, or layer it over just about anything. 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 black tabard cut gown is simple in feel but big on style. It slips over the head with an elastic drawing in and adding shape under the bist and to the waist at both the back and front. It is left completely open on either side with just a simple tie. Quite amazing and daring. Excellent condition

this is a darling little dress from the 1950s with pretty lines. It is labelled - Jeannette Alexander of California - and is well made. It has a fitted, strapless bodice that has a pretty black velvet ribbon circling its upper edge for a little detail. I love how it glides into the skirt and the fullness of the skirt is created by the pleats set along the side of each hip and around the back. This gives the skirt lots of fullness but keeps the front from being bulky and unflattering. I have added a light crinoline and you could wear a far fuller one for e really "cupcake" look, or none for a more modern feel. It's light and airy despite the black of it and it is still in great shape.

This is certainly later Halston but still from the time period when he was alive and would have still owned the company. In it you can see his move to more modern fabric and feel of the 1980s in it's cut, while still maintaining his signature simplicity. The silhouette is his classic one shoulder design but inside there is far more structure then his earlier pieces would have had. Here he utilizes the stretch lingerie weight nude nylon "bandage" fabric that would have still been a fairly new innovation then, and creates a inner built in bodice that gives support to the wearer. Over this is a matte silk satin and a black crepe falls from there into a slim skirt. Attached ties wrap around the high set waist and tie for detail and at the back the skirt has been wrapped with a panel left to flutter down the side with a backing of the same silk satin as the bodice. Excellent condition.

The bodice is lined as described above and the skirt self backed with a satin finish. It closes at the side with adjustable lingerie hooks at thew side bust and then the fabric wraps and hooks along the back with a series of hook & eye concealed along the seam. The attached ties wrap and tie at the waist.

This fabulous set is by Claude Montana and is a favorite. Montana designed for strong woman and his pieces always pushed the envelope and defined the female form in a way that felt sculptural. Once worn together these look like a dress but it is actually two separate pieces - a body suit and a wrap skirt. The base of both pieces feels like a starched polished cotton and this fabric choice gives the pieces that little bit of body they need to give them the shape he wished them to have. Montana was a genius at creating structure with fabric while still allowing the body to be able to move freely. The bodysuit has a high, squared off neckline with straps the curve around and down  to the waist leaving the back bare. The skirt is fabulous. It wraps and hooks into place and has a signature mirrored piece set at the waist for detail. The skirt is cut in a swirling curve around the body and the entire lower half is finished with a stiffened black netting. It's sexy and naughty but covered at the same time. Extraordinary. Excellent condition

Both pieces are made of a double layer of the exterior fabric and the bottom half of the body suit is made of a stretch jersey. The bodysuit closes with a low zipper at the back and snaps at the bottom. The skirt hooks to close and there are two rows of loops so you can adjust the fit. It would be easy to move and add to these if you needed to go up or down a bit more on the skirt. Both pieces are tagged a size 40.

This dress is quintessentially eighties and the lines pure Yves Saint Laurent during this time period. It is made from a combination of a inky black velvet through the body with a gold flowers in a black silk chiffon adoring the sleeves and skirt. The floral design is made from a combination of gold lame eyelash thread and curving lines of velvet fused onto the silk. At the from of the dipped neckline sits a pretty flower made from velvet, feathers and beads. The lines through the body are long and lean and have an almost flapper quality to the cut. The sleeves are cut full and billow above each cuff. The skirt is made of the same fabric as the sleeves and falls in a sleek column with a touch of fullness. Both the sleeves and skirt are left unlined so you get a glimpse of the body underneath. Excellent condition

The near twin of this dress is held at The Metropolitan Museum which enables us to exactly date it. The difference between the one in The Met's collection and this one is that this one is opaque top to bottom so even though it would have originally been intended as lingerie piece you can easily wear it out as a dress now. The vast majority of John Kloss pieces that one finds are usually too thin or too sheer to wear as proper dress, but every once in a while you find a fabulous little exceptions like this one. John Kloss was a contemporary of Ossie Clark and I love how you can see that same British sense of sexiness in his pieces. This gown has a simple but sexy cut that really shows off the body once on. The halter cut bodice has an almost scandalous plunging front that goes right to the waist. At the point where the waist and the halter join is an elaborately beaded pair of swan set so they highlight the plunge and add a beautiful detail. At the back it is cut so you have an almost slight cowled effect and the entire back is left bare above that. From there it flows to the floor in a column of bias cut nylon jersey. A slit up the front shows miles of leg. Kloss was genius at choosing extremely high quality nylons that held the color well and would drape exactly as he wished. Excellent condition.

This lovely little tunic cut top from Yves Saint Laurent has a fabulous print and his classic peasant cut. It buttons at the front and closes to give you a higher neckline. I love the design screened onto the challis - the colors are a perfect compliment to each other with their muted black and green mix that will go with almost anything. The cut is loose and easy and the sleeves pouf above their cuffs. The top is cut almost like a tunic with a long line and slits at each side. This will allow you to tuck it on or wear it loose and easy over a bottom. It is made from a gorgeous light weight wool challis of a high quality. Excellent condition.

This is a seriously sexy, dramatic strapless dress that was made to hug and create curves whether a girl has then or not. It is all fitted and shaped to give you that Barbie Doll body with the bust and hips exaggerated in just the right way. The actual dress is a strapless little number that is cut above the knee and has a black cotton lace set over a nude base. Between the lace and the inner nude fabric is a layer of the same dotted tulle that makes up that dramatic skirting. This gives the lace an very interesting texture and depth. The sweetheart neckline tops the fitted silhouette of the dress. Circling the hip is a curving overlay of dotted tulle over two other tulle layers. These curve around and down and give the dress the suggestion of a full fifties skirt. Totally '80s and fabulous. Excellent condition

The dress is fully lined in a nude silky rayon and closes with a back metal and nylon zipper.

This is a cute and sexy little dress that combines a beautiful silk with a fun, multi-color dot pattern. It is from the D&G label which no longer exists. The cut is classic D&G with a fitted, curving cut that follows the body and is very flattering. The bodice has a full built in corset with cups that keep the dress in place. Over this, the silk skims and drapes, down and around the body. There is a ruffled detail that circles the sweetheart neckline and that ruffle then extends down from one side, curves over the waist, and then runs down one hip. The skirt is cut to come up slightly at the spot where the ruffle ends for a little extra leg. At the back is one of their signature, large chunky zippers and the silk is all set to drape inward towards that. Signature, adjustable, lingerie straps sit at the shoulder and can be removed to make it a strapless dress. It is fabulous on and I love the colorful dots. Excellent condition
