Fantastic 1970s Stavropoulos Wrap Skirt and Top Set w Embroidered Red Dots & Metallic Thread Pattern

  • This set dates to the late 1970s 
  • It was made under the creative direction of George Stavropoulos.
  • Stavropoulos was known for his evening wear and his signature looks often involved draping and the use of silk done on a bias cut. He focused on cut and fabric to convey the beauty of each piece. It was said that his gowns 'seemed to float on air'.
  • He launched his label in 1960 and soon was dressing women like Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy, Barbra Streisand and Maria Callas. His gowns are were made by hand and to couture standards in his salon. 
  • This is a set made of two pieces and both pieces are made out of a feather light black netting topping two layers of black silk organza.
  • The top layer has a combination of little red dots hand embroidered directly onto net mixed with clusters of black dots created from a black metallic fabric that was also hand applied. I love the fantastic pop of colour this gives the entire set.
  • The neckline is cut in a shallow V across at the front. The top wraps too close and can be fully opened. To wear it you wrap it around yourself and then it closes with a series of hooks and snaps hidden under the red piping to the side.
  • Piped red straps curve up and over each shoulder. That same red piping edges is the entire top. I love the sweet little red bows set down the front to the side. The very last bow extends out into long ties that trail down the skirt.
  • The skirt wraps and closes around you. The snaps and hooks are hidden along the inner waist line. It wraps over itself to one side and on the side that overlaps you see the red piping all the way to hem.
  • The skirt falls in this extravagant sweep of bias cut silk to the floor. I love how much it widens out by the hem. It really is incredibly full and having the three layers of fabric help to hold the shape and also create beautiful movement around you as you move.
  • Having two pieces gives you the added versatility of wearing them together to give the look of a dress or you can mix and match them with pieces you already own to extend their wear. 
  • It is an outstanding example of his work and is an absolutely fantastic piece of vintage.
  • The top is lined in a layer of black silk organza and the skirt has two layers under the top layer. Both pieces close with combination of snaps and hooks as described above. Hand work throughout. You could adjust the size up or down by moving the snaps and hooks.
  • There is no size tag present. Please go by the measurements listed below.
