This is an incredible dress with its matching stole lands somewhere in that time period between the end of Christian's reign, Yves Saint Laurent's time there, and Marc Bohan's appointment as the was head of the Dior atelier. The closest I have found was a 1958 piece by Yves and I have added that reference photo here for nothing else but to give you an idea of what it will look like on the body. Regardless of under whose directorship it falls, it is a beautiful and early example of the work being produced by Christian Dior in this time period. This is the Christian Dior - New York label and is considered to be demi-couture from this time period of Dior's history. These where made for the American market based on the runway designs and with many of the same high standard finishes that Haute Couture pieces incorporated. This would be an incredible dress for any collector and it might even make an amazing dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. It is seriously beautiful

This is a dress that makes you draw in your breath the first time that you see it. The dress is made out of a very high end ivory silk that feels like it has some weight to it. It's not so heavy that is unwearable it just is that fantastic earlier silk that has a richness to it that is hard to replicate in modern fabrics. The dress is strapless and the bodice is simple and perfect. It is boned and shaped but that is all hidden inside. This hidden interior shaping allows it to perfectly mold to your shape. The waist is seamed and nips in. The dress falls to the floor from there and here is where it really gets incredible. The upper portion of the skirt is the same silk as the bodice so you get this sleek feel from the waist to just about the knee. Below that the silk has been sewn into horizontal ribbing. Each individual section of ribbing has interior padding inside of it so that they stand out for an incredible 3-D feel. This gives it this incredible texture. Besides being a beautiful design detail it also weights the fabric so that it holds the shape once the dress is on you. These are techniques that you often see in older couture pieces that you just don't see as often anymore in modern design. Inside, the dress is lined in silk and silk organza and it is almost completely finished by hand. There's also a wide inner waist stay that hooks to close and acts as an inner support so that the dress stays perfectly in place once on. The dress comes with its original matching stole. The stole is finished with the flat silk on one side and the same puffed ribbing technique on the other. These were worn to cover the shoulders and act as a evening wrap against cooler nights. It is wonderful to have this original extra piece still with this dress. The stole is also an exact match to the bottom of the skirt so in theory you could also add all or part of it the bottom if you needed more length. The colour is a touch richer feeling in person than how it photoed. Incredible in person. There are endless couture level details put into this one and the workmanship throughout is perfectly and meticulously done. It is an amazing example of the fine workmanship and attention to detail of this time period and it is a true piece of fashion history. Excellent condition

The dress is fully interlined in an ivory silk organza and then lined again with an ivory silk. Hand set hidden and exposed boning in the bodice. A wide waist stay hooks to close. Hand finished to demi-couture standard throughout. It closes with a hand set, back zipper. I see a tiny repair on the inner lining of the bodice above the center boning.

A full shoulder version of this dress in black was shown as Look 78 for the 2015 Resort presentation. This was a piece that was produced in limited quantities for retail and I love this chic ivory version. In 2015 Valentino was headed by both Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli. They had stepped into Mr Valentino's shoes and were breathing new life into the brand. In the Vogue review for this collection they said: "Monastic, artistocratic, modest, and even prim have been terms applied to Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli's Valentino almost since they took over in 2009." In this particular collection the pair definitely ventured off into colour and print. Most of the looks in the show followed that more exuberant feel but the black two shoulder caped dress was one that maintained their more simple approach. For retail production it was also made in this ivory version that had one one single shoulder. I'll absolutely love this dress. In addition to runway photo I have included a photo of Louise Camuto  in a red version that she wore to the Valentino Gala that year so you can see how it looks on the body.

The dress does not have a single unnecessary seam. It really shows how sometimes absolute minimalism is best. Even with its simplicity it would still be a dress that is red carpet worthy or would make an amazing wedding dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. And of course it could also be worn to any other event too. The dress is made from an ivory silk crepe that has a beautiful drape. This is what lets it move so beautifully over the body once it is on. It is constructed so that it drapes and skims over the body perfectly. The skirt falls to the floor in a sweeping expanse of fabric. When you stand still it looks more like a sleek column but when you move you realize how much fabric is in there as it billows out behind you. The bodice drapes softly over you at the front. One arm is left bare for a bit of an expanse of skin to show. I love how the neckline curves up on an angle to the other shoulder. The shoulder that is covered is down by having the back panel of fabric wrap around from the back to the front of the arm. It them falls to the floor to create this elegant and still dramatic caped feeling over your arm. It is very beautiful. Excellent condition

Fully lined in an soft ivory coloured silk and closes with a hidden set side zipper. Tagged a Valentino 46. A minor grubbiness to the hem and the occasional small pull in the fabric. I don't think it has ever been worn. These are more from being hung with the skirt dragging on the floor. Very minor and just mentioning for accuracy. It otherwise appears to have been worn very little if at all.

This is the all white ready-to-wear a version of that famous 1992 Valentino dress in black and white. Linda Evangelista wore the original on the runway and just recently Zendaya wore its twin to a premiere. It is one of the most instantly recognizable Valentino dresses and I love this more unusual all white version. This is the kind of dress that you can dress up or down and it might even make an amazing dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. Absolutely gorgeous and you can't go wrong in a piece this well-known. It is gorgeous

Like its famous graphic black and white counterpart this dress is made of multiple long vertical panels pieced together. Each panel has a tiny seamed piping along its edge and slightly overlaps its neighbor. Where the panels meet there is the slight three dimensional feel. The bodice is strapless and I love how the top of each panel has been rounded off to create a pretty and feminine scalloped effect along the neckline. Inside the bodice there is a full built-in shaped corset that helps to give you support and to keep the dress in place. This inner piece closes with its own zipper and holds the dress on the body. From there it starts to widen out and skims over the waist and the hips. It then flares as it reaches the hem. When you're standing still the panels create this gorgeous soft ruffled feel. But when you move you get a kick of fabric around you that is fantastic. The dress highlights the body but in that very refined and classic Valentino kind of way. I love that there are so many reference photos out there of the other version of this dress. It really gives you an idea of what it's going to look like on the body but just in an all white. This is one of the most recognizable Valentino dresses that there is and it is an incredible find. Excellent condition

Unlined with a full inner built-in corset. The dress closes with a side zipper and the inner bodice closes with its own side zipper. Ribbon edge finishes at the hem. The fabric has a slight stretch to it. The dress is perhaps a tiny touch more ivory in person than how it photoed. There is the tiniest bit of darkening to the edges here and there that I am just mentioning for accuracy. The exterior layer of the dress has more room through the waist than the inner foundation piece. So if you needed more room in the waist you could add to the inner piece and probably get at least another inch if not more

Bust: 17.5" flat across from side seam to side seam

Vogue said of the Spring 2018 'La Bomba' show that 'Jacquemus: the young designer, his models, his friends, his sun-drenched South of France Instagram—they’re everything about the French which makes foreigners writhe with envy. Welcome to Paris! ....Not to mention the fact—for goodness sake—that we were all in the Musée Picasso, a national landmark never before used for fashion.' Simon Porte, the man behind the label is self-taught and this collection in particular cemented his cult-like status. The collection was a tribute to his mother who he lost at a young age. 'You see, Jacquemus is my mother’s name,' he said as his models surrounded him at the end of the show. 'She was shy, and she was sexy. It will always be about her, I don’t care! That’s me.' This was the closing look of the show and it was one of the strongest pieces of the season. It was photoed for vogue that season and shown extensively on their social accounts. And one is one of the hardest pieces to get a hold of.

The dress was one of his first examples of using this modified and updated hoop-skirt. It is made out of a raw feeling cotton linen mix that has a slight texture to it and was left in a natural linen color. The dress is suspended from the shoulders with two tiny straps of the same material. The neckline is cut straight across and the body of the dress is cut slim and more tubular giving it a shape reminiscent of the 1920s. The fabric is softly gathered around the bodice giving it a subtle detail that feels easy and natural over the body. It runs down and past the waist and then flares out to meet the seam set below the hip line. The skirt flares out from that dropped seam and it has incredible volume to it. There is built in heavy stiffened net structure underneath that helps to hold that exaggerated shape through the hips. This gives it the feel of a modified version of the hoop skirts of the 20s and 30s that designers like Paul Poiret and Jeanne Lanvin were doing. The ease and casualness of the fabric give it this great contrast between that historical feel. It is a beautiful dress to wear and I'm glad that we found some video clips so you can see the incredible movement that it has. It is the perfect summer dress and a definite important future vintage piece. It might even make an amazing dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. Excellent condition with one note below

Fully lined in a matching cotton through the bodice. It closes with a hidden set side zipper. Internal structure under the hip in stiffened tulle helps to hold the shape along with the seaming. Tagged a modern 38. I see a couple of tiny scattered blue spots at the front that look like they are in the actual weave of the fabric. A small mark inside the bodice. Please see the photo after the label shot

This is one of those fantastic things that you'll only find in the vintage world. It is a very unusual piece that has no label but has been immaculately made and is quite fabulous. The piece is completely made by hand using knotting and macramé techniques. The rope that is used has a subtle gold thread running through it which adds a gorgeous texture and just a touch of glimmer. This is mixed with silver metal beads that are used to anchor the knots at the neckline and waist and also add detail across the bodice. To wear it you just slip it on and then tie it at the neck and the waist at the back. The front is an intricate design that covers you like a fantastic and elaborate breast plate. More silver beads are used here to anchor the cross ropes and add detail and interest to the design. Under the waist the skirt falls in a long fringes. The fringes give it incredible movement when you move. It also has sleeves that are anchored to the neckline and then suspended across the shoulder by rope. Long fringes then fall from there to flow around your arm and past the hands and wrists. It is incredible. This is a piece that you would wear over something else and depending on how daring you want to be you could wear it with something absolutely minimal to look like you are completely bare underneath or layer it over a dress or pants. The possibilities to style this are endless limited only by your imagination. It's in immaculate condition and is one of the most unusual and fabulous pieces I have seen. I absolutely love it. Excellent condition

Slips on from the front and ties at the back of the neck and the back of the waist. It should fit a variety of sizes depending on how open you are OK with it at the back. The measurements below are where it is tied so each side perfectly meets but you could extend that as much as you want to give yourself more room as needed.

Sleeves: approx 43"
Front: each side covers approx 6" flat across
Waist: is 29" from end to end and then it can be extended with the ties
Hips: open

This wonderful little dress is from the Nina Ricci Boutique ready to wear line. The Ricci atelier was launched in Paris in 1932, with Nina retiring from designing in the early 1950s. Jules Francois Crahay then headed the design team until he left for Lanvin in 1963. Gerard Pipart took over from Crahay and stayed on with Ricci until 1998. This dress is just the prettiest example of the sweetness the house could do in terms of design. Besides being one of the prettiest dresses you could possible wear it might even make an amazing dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration.

The dress is made out of a beautiful white cotton waffle weave pique that is extensively embroidered with a pretty daisy pattern. The embroidered daisy flowers are scattered over the entire dress. The bodice is fitted and sculpted to the body. I love how the edge of the neckline and at the waist are both softly rounded in a pretty curving scallop to soften the line. The dress is suspended from two tiny straps that curve up and over the shoulders. The neckline dips down at the front and cups are seamed to help mold it to your frame. A sweet little bow sits at the bottom of the front V. The waist is cinched in by shaping with the actual seam sitting just below the natural on the top of the hips. The skirt falls under that and it is extremely full with yards and yards of fabric in it. Excellent condition

The bodice is partially lined through the cups and upper back in a white cotton muslin. The skirt is lined in an attached inner white muslin. Stiffened netting runs through the hem of the lining to help hold the shave and give the volume that you see. It closes with a painted metal zipper at the back.Ribbon finished edges in a skirt. Handwork throughout. It has a touch of cream to it in real life.

In 1993 Oscar de la Renta took over as Creative Director at Balmain where he designed the Haute Couture collections until 2002. The house had been floundering at that point and he had a huge impact on the reviving the sales of the couture pieces, mainly by catering to private clients, much like Balmain had originally. It is extraordinary to think that Oscar never produced a Haute Couture line under his own label and these few short years at Balmain gives us a chance to see just how talented he really was at all levels. I was very pleased to be able to fully document this dress with its photo on the runway and we even found one that shows the twin of this dress just behind Oscar for the finale of the show.

Like most Haute Couture, this is a dress that only truly comes to life when it is on an actual body. No matter how good it looks in the photos, the impact it has in real life and how it moves once on is undeniably beautiful. You can see in the runway shots that the dress sits lower on the sides of shoulders then where it sits on the dress form and this simple difference changes the look of it tremendously. The fabric is a fine silk in a pale baby blue that gives it the weight it needs to perfectly hold and to shape you through the bodice. The dress is sleeveless with wide straps that curve up and off the shoulder. It is fitted to be like a corset with built in boning and seaming to shape you. The neckline is scooped at the front and dips into a V at the back. There are attached underskirts to hold the volume of the skirt and if you wanted even more there is room to add a crinoline. The bodice is shaped with long vertical seaming that curves into the dipped waist seam. At the back it closes with a corset detailing and matching coloured ties. The skirt is set along the waist seam in a series of big soft inverted pleats that give you this lovely curve around the top of the hips. Then as they open out the volume of the skirt is achieved to give it the incredible volume that you see. Each layer of the fabric is light but when all the layers, and the sheer volume of fabric that has been used, is combined the overall weight of the dress is substantial and it feels like a couture piece. You can see how stupendous this is one in the runway photos and the massive sweep that the skirt has. This comes to me from one of his the original couture clients. This dress is definitely a dress that could walk a carpet and it would also make an amazing dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. Excellent condition with a minor note below

Fully hand lined in a pale blue silk through the bodice. The skirt has an inner silk lining and then two layer of tulle over that and a partial layer around the inner hips. Hidden boning and corseting through the bodice. It closes with a hidden inner zipper, a half zipper at the exterior waist and then laces to close over that. A waist stay inside that hooks to close and a second hooked stay above that this sits just under the bust. Hand finished through out to Haute Couture standards. Proper couture tag present Couture tape #172438. I see some teeny marks on the grommets which would be a natural part of normal use. One yellowish mark near the seam above the hem. A couple of very faint marks here and there neat the hem. All of which you only see if you lay it out flat and look for them

When hunting for the provenance of this dress we found a great shot of its twin on Moran Atias when she wore it to the Cannes film festival in 2007. I love that I have this so you can see how great it is on the body. The dress also has the significance of being from one Mr. Valentino' final few years before he retired. It is incredibly beautiful and it would make an amazing wedding dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. And of course it could also be worn to any event.

This ivory silk chiffon and lace dress is stunning on the body. This combination of those two fabric allow it to drape beautifully over the body and highlight your every curve in a very flattering way. The fabric also have a slight stretch that allow the dress to show off your curves while still feeling wildly comfortable once on. The bodice has a soft and romantic feel as it glides over you. The front and back of the bodice curves across you to leave the other shoulder bare and exposed. All of the edges follow the natural pattern of the lace and this adds to the feminine feel that it gives. The lace is backed with more silk chiffon so even though the lace has a bit of transparency you are fully covered. It is just tremendously beautiful. The lace is set over the waist in angled panels that work the way down the dress. In between the lace are silk chiffon panels. They are set in a way that emphasizes your curves and give height. The workmanship is exquisite where they meet. It skims over the waist and hips and then falls to the floor in a beautiful drape of lace at the bottom skirting. Both fabrics are light and soft and there are additional layers of chiffon underneath so that it feels amazing against the skin. It is cut supermodel long in length. The back is cut slightly longer then the front so you get this pretty sweep of fabric behind you. It is incredible and I love it. Excellent condition.

Fully lined with two inner layers of silk chiffon and closes with a hidden set side half zipper and then has another one mid-back. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. The fabric does have some stretch. The measurements below give you the comfortable range the fabric has when lying flat.

i think at this point in time everyone pretty much recognizes certain Celine pieces from the Phoebe Philo days and her knit dresses are definitely some of the most recognizable. It is just a joy to see knits done to this level when so many are synthetic fabrics now. Besides being a gorgeous piece of fashion history it is just a wonderful dress

The dress is made from a beautiful knit that feels like a wool, cashmere and silk mix. It has a very dense weave to it and has a wonderful feeling weight. It is made with the absolute minimal seaming. Where there is a seam she made it into a design detail so that you have these perfect lines running down the dress that add just the perfect little touch. The colour is a gorgeous ivory and in person it is richer and better then how it photoed. The dress has a high collar that frames the face. The top edge of the collar is finished with a subtle curve under that again gives it that perfect subtle little detail. The sleeves are cut extra long and meant to be worn bunched up on the arm. Each cuff ends in a wide ribbing. It skims over the body and past the hips to land about mid-calf to just above the ankles depending on your height. It slightly flares out at the hem. It is a beauty. Excellent condition with one small note below

Unlined and slips on to wear. No size tag present. It feels like a wool, cashmere and silk mix. The fabric does have some stretch so should fit a range of sizes. The measurements below give you the comfortable range the fabric has when lying flat. There is a faint blueish line on one sleeve that you see when they are fully down. Once the sleeves are bunched up properly it disappears.

Kiki Hart is a fantastic little vintage label. The dresses were well made and they had gorgeous lines. This one is so pretty and might even make a great bridal piece for the bride not looking for something traditional or as a dress for an event surrounding the ceremony. The dress has a classic one shoulder cut. It is made out of a white chiffon that drapes so prettily to form and define the lines of the dress. The fabric that covers the bodice is set to sweep up and into that single shoulder while the other shoulder is left completely bare. It gathers up and into a metal ring set just below the shoulder. The ring is completely encrusted with tiny rhinestones and adds such a pretty touch. It curves up and then two long panels of chiffon are knotted around it and secured. These then cascade down the back in this fantastic swath of fabric. Each is a single wide layer of chiffon so when you move they billow out behind you in the prettiest of ways. Your upper back is left completely bare which I love. The waist is defined by a wide gathering of the same fabric and then the skirt flows out from under there to the floor. There are several yard of fabric in the skirt and it sits over an inner lining. It catches the air as you move and creates a beautiful sweeping line when you walk. It is just gorgeous. Excellent condition

Fully lined in an ivory chiffon and closes with a zipper at the back.

This is a stunning Halston that is very rare and very special. I have had it in my archives for a long time and for some reason it feels like it is the time to let it go. That season Halston did a series of pieces using this pleated silk jersey. This was a runway piece and the only photo I have been able to find of it just shows the little bit of it behind a shot of Pat Cleveland. You can clearly see the amazing slevee in the photo. It is also interesting to note that they looked to have added a belt on the dress to style it for the show. I love when you can see how the designer intended it to be styled. At this point in his career pieces would have been made in very limited quantities. That alone makes this dress that much more special never mind to have runway documentation. It is an incredible example of his work from this time period. And it is a killer dress.

The dress is made from a light weight silk that has tiny pleat work throughout. Like most of his best work its design is simple yet impactful. As in many of his pieces his genius lies in the ability to use the least possible amount of seams yet he still manages to create the most stunning lines. The dress wraps around and is secured through the inner waist with snaps and hooks to keep it in place. The waist has elastic running through it that gives it this incredible ease once it is on the body. The front plunges into a low V and there is a tiny snap to hold it more securely in place. I did not use it for these photos but if you wanted a plunge that was a little less extremely you could close it a bit more with this snap. It skims over the bodice and comes in at the waist. You could add a belt if you wanted more shape or wear it as it is. The skirt wraps below that and falls in a cascade of the silk. The pleating gives it a little movement so that it moves wonderfully when you walk and the wrap allows a touch of leg to show when you move or sit. The sleeves are the star of the show on this dress. They are cut extra long and on a curve. They come in at the wrist where they snap to close and pouf and balloon fantastically above that. On my dress form they hang low but you can see in that glimpse of a shot how they billow around the arm and wrist once they are actually on. It is an incredible dress and like many of his pieces it truly will only come to life once there is a body in it. It is remarkable and a true piece of fashion history. This would make an amazing wedding dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. And of course it could also be worn to any event. Excellent condition

Unlined and wraps around you to close. It hooks and snaps in places around the waist. The waist is elastic so there is give there. You could also get less of more room by moving some of the hooks inside if needed. The range given below is the comfortable range where they are now. Each cuff has hidden set snaps to close and there is a bit of room to move those as well. I have put XS-MED and with some moving of the inner hooks / snaps it would probably work on a larger frame as well

Luis Estevez worked for Jean Patou for two years before starting his own label in 1955 and had a long and successful career. By 1968 was based in California and his designs from that period on reflected that West coast vibe. Lana Turner, Rosalind Russel and Eva Gabor, who he even designed for when she had her won label. He loved using white in his work and this dress is one of his most recognizable and coveted pieces. I love it.

The cut of this dress is extremely sexy with that barely there feeling coverage of the top and yet it still manages to have a chic elegance to it. It is made from a white jersey that has gorgeous drape and has enough weight to it that it is opaque. The halter top stays in place with a strap that runs up and behind the neck and a second on that extends out from each side and hooks into place across the back. The waist is cinched in and the skirt has a ton of volume as it falls to the floor and gradually widens out. I love how the design of the bodice leaves the back and sides completely bare and open. The barely covered top with the full length of the skirt are the perfect contrast to each other. If all of that were not enough the top is completely covered in square cut rhinestones set in silver edging. This follow the line of the halter and cover both straps and circle the waist. It is stunning. Presents as excellent condition with notes below

The bodice is backed in the same jersey and the skirt is lined in a nylon jersey. It closes with hidden snaps on both straps and a a low set zipper at the back. The skirt has some small faded marks here and there and the top of the zipper shows some grubbiness. I photoed the areas. When it is on you don't notice them because of the volume of the fabric but laid out flat you will find them. Please see the photos after the label shot. Otherwise has no flaws. The snaps and hooks on the back strap could be moved an inch either way if needed but of you moved it to get more room you would get a small area with no rhinestones.

Mollie Parnis is one of my favorite American designers. She was known for having dressed numerous first ladies and her dresses regularly appeared in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Vanity Fair. She started a label with her husband in 1933 called Parnis Livingston Inc. and she quickly became know for her quality, fit and use of very good fabrics. She had a particular talent in dressing woman of every age and designed pieces that suited her older clients in a time when this was not a focus. Her husband died in 1962 forcing the label to shutter but she re-grouped and re-opened three months later under her own Mollie Parnis label. In 1970s she launched a ready to wear line and hired designer Morty Sussman to do the initial designs and then approved everything he did before it went into production. After the first year his named appeared on the labels like it does on this one. This is a gorgeous example of the work he did.

The dress is made out of a ivory silk moire that holds the intended shape and volume beautifully. It is a set that is made up of a dress and a jacket that slips on over the dress. They are beautiful worn together or separately. I love that having the two pieces gives you more styling opportunities and extends the life of this in your wardrobe. The dress is suspended by two tiny straps that curve up and over each shoulder. The bodice scoops wide at the front and does the same across the back. It skims over you to the waist and the skirt has an incredible amount of volume to it that shows best when you move. The fabric choice keeps it light enough to be comfortable when on yet it still has enough weight that it holds that full feeling when you stand still. And it has pockets. Over this pops the jacket and it is gorgeous. It drops from a soft shoulder and curves around and up from the hem to the neckline. It is slightly cropped and the sleeves are simple and long. The entire front is finished with a feather trim dyed to the palest possible nude ballet pink. The feathers frame your face and create this incredible statement. I love that they continue all the way around to the back. It is absolutely beautiful. A long matching sash in the same fabric is the perfect finish. It lets you add a  little extra bit of detail at the waist and you can cinch the waist in more with it if you need to. This would make an amazing wedding dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. And of course it could also be worn to any event. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in an ivory silky rayon. The dress closes with a side zipper and the jacket has no closures. Pockets along each hip seam. It looks to have been worn very little if at all but there is a very minor bit of grubbiness along the edge of the hem here and there.

In 1951, 27 year old James Galanos launched his first label called Galanos Originals. By 1954 he had won a Coty award and the Neiman Marcus award. By 1958 he was producing clothing that could range in price from $200 to $3000, an astronomical price for ready-to-wear for that time period. His ready-to-wear line was made close to couture standards and with a level of craftsmanship that was on par with the French couturiers. Galanos was a master cutter and draper and he used many couture techniques in his work. Grace Kelly was an early fan. He was truly one of the great American designers and his work is held in all of the major museums around the world. He is one of my personal favourites. This dress is exceptional and I was very excited to have it come into the shop. It would be red carpet worthy and it would also be an amazing wedding dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. It already has the something blue built in. And of course it could also be worn to any non wedding event too. 

I love this dress. The color combination is fabulous together and the two different silks that he used are the highest quality. Galanos excelled at silks and silk chiffon and this dress is a testament to that. It is very difficult to work with these fabrics and have them sit properly. The skirt is really where you see his genius. It is made out of four layers of an ivory silk chiffon with each layer stacked perfectly over the one beneath it. Then on top of those is a fifth printed floral layer. This final outer layer has a touch of texture to it that makes it incredibly beautiful. The layers are attached at the side seams and around the waist so that the hem and shallow slits at the sides can benefit from the full movement created by all the layers. This is what gives the dress movement when you move while still keeping it light as air. Along each side of the skirt is a panel of a liquid finish silk satin. This is a clever way to help the skirt hold its shape and give it weight so that when you move it always sits right. The side panels are actually extensions that run down from the bodice. The top is a simple affair that covers you at the front and leaves the back completely bare. It is gathered in soft horizontal folds across the bust and then those gathers tighten and curve down low at each side. Instead of wrapping around you to the back they drop and extend into those side skirt panels that you see. It is incredible. Tiny straps curve up and over your shoulders and then drop all the way down your back to the waist to hold the dress in place. The inside of the bodice is lightly boned and then lined with what feels like several layers of silk and structure so that you can wear it with nothing underneath. To finish the look he then added this spectacular and huge flower print on both the front and back of the skirt. This bold blue flower covers almost the entire skirt and makes sch a beautiful statement. It is like wearing a piece of art. It would also have had to have been all planned out prior to construction and the silk used for it done separately so that the flowers fell in the exact right position. As with most silk chiffon pieces it really will only truly come to life when on an actually body. It is beautifully made and feather light. Gorgeous. Excellent condition with a small note below.

The multiple layers of silk in the skirt serve as the lining. It closes with a low back hand set zipper. Hand rolled edges and hand finishes throughout. Light boning through the bodice. There is the very faint mark on the side panel of the skirt and some small ones near the hem of the inner lining. Please see the last two photos after the label shot. Slightly more ivory in person then how it photoed.

This is a beautiful dress from the Christian Dior label that showcases the restraint and elegance the best of the brands work has always displayed. I have had this exact dress in the shop before but in black and it is amazing how gorgeous the ivory version also is. John Galliano went from Givenchy to Dior in October of 1996 and stayed there until he was dismissed in February of 2011. During John Galliano's years at the house of Christian Dior he arguably produced some of the most amazing dresses in the house's history. His work is always beautifully cut and this one is no exception. It has that minimalist spirit of the nineties and early 2000s and it is stunning. This was a piece that was produced in limited quantities for retail. The main line runway pieces that season where based on his own couture work and then the actual production pieces included a group of more refined and elegant pieces like this one. It is always interesting to see how John translated his over the top runway collections into elegant, wearable and yet still glamorous pieces. It is a beauty and really might just be a perfect cream coloured dress. 

I love everything about this dress. The way the buttons are laid out onto it with that curved lined off-set down the front make it feel longer then it is. Everything about the cut is done to lengthen the girl wearing it and give her one long and beautiful line. The shoulders are slightly squared off, but not in an exaggerated way and they are not padded. The sleeves are long and simple. The body of the dress is cut to skim over you from shoulder to hem. The waist is brought in just a touch and this is done with vertical seaming so that there is no line to break the fabric across the waist. The skirt falls from there to the floor in a column widening out just a touch as it nears the hem. It buttons down the one side and the buttons are set on a slight curve that give the dress a respectful nod to the early days of the house and the work of Christian. All of the buttons are functional and the entire dress will completely open so you could wear this is a layered piece over other pieces if you wished. The dress doe not have a single unnecessary seam. It really shows how sometimes absolute minimalism is best. Even with its simplicity it would still be a dress that is red carpet worthy or would make an amazing wedding dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. And of course it could also be worn to any other event too. Excellent condition

In 1952, Givenchy founded his namesake house on Rue Alfred de Vigny in Paris and quickly rose to fame as one of the grand couturiers. 16 years later for the 1968-69 season, he added a ready-to-wear line of clothing and accessories called 'Givenchy Nouvelle Boutique'. The line was initially sold in the United States exclusively through Bergdorf Goodman and was eventually made available at other retailers. The line was high end and extremely well made and it was made to appeal to his non-couture clients who wanted to be able to purchase a piece of the Givenchy dream. This label continued until 1992 when it was retired and rebranded as the Givenchy Couture label which this dress is from. This dress is also interesting as it is the obvious ready to wear version of two of the Haute Couture dresses presented that season. I have included the photos of those two runway shots here as it is always interesting to see the progression and translation of Couture to ready-to-wear.

This is one of those pieces that you can only find in vintage. It is so spectacular and it would certainly be the show piece of any vintage collection. It would make an amazing wedding piece for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration and of course it would work for any red carpet event or gala.

This is an exquisite 1960s silk gauze dress whose exterior is covered with hand done sequin work.  It has no tags except the one that identifies the work as having been done in India where some the finest sequin work on the planet was being executed during this time period. The dress is made from two layers of the finest slightly textured silk gauze that float over an inner fine silk lining. Then onto the top layer of gauze is that incredible floral design that is completely made from an array of beautiful coloured sequins. You would rarely see this level of handwork on a piece today and if you did it would cost the moon. The work here borders on couture. Each flower is beautifully made from a dense application of sequins. Many of the parts of the design are set to give the flowers a slightly raised 3D effect. These cover the entire dress on both the front and back. The front bodice and all the way around the hem have the heaviest amount of hand work and sequins but even the sleeves are adorned with those beautiful flowers and sequins. The dress is cut to skim lightly over the bodice with a high scooped neckline. Each sleeve is a double layer of the silk and are cut to gracefully follow the curve of the arm. The waist is seamed and the layers of the skirt float over the inner silk lining, gently widening out as it nears the hem. The dress also comes with its original matching shawl made of a single layer of the silk gauze. It is also sequinned with flowers. It is quite large  and you could easily use it as a head piece, a veil, over the shoulders for a cape effect or tie it around the waist. This is a remarkable example of the fine hand work being done during this time period and is quite beautiful. This it is a definitely once in a life time find. It looks like it was never worn or worn very little. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a matching silk and and closes with a back painted metal and nylon zipper. Each cuff has snaps to close. Hand finishes and all the sequin work is hand done. Hand rolled edges on the matching shawl. There may be the occasional sequin missing but it presents perfectly with no outstanding issues. Carefully stored.

This dress is instantly recognizable as an Alexander McQueen piece. And it is an incredibly interesting piece when you fully delve into its history. This was a part of the McQueen wedding dress line for the Spring of 2012. By that date the label was under the direction of Sarah Burton. However this dress is a ivory lace version of the dress that Lee designed for the 2007 runway for Look 20. I have seen the twin of this dress for sale at more then double my price and mislabeled as being a 2007 original. But it is not. It was produced in 2012 as an updated dress made wedding appropriate and was based on the 2007 dress that I have included here. The 2007 collection was titled "Sarabrande" and the Alexander McQueen website stated this of that collection:The inspiration is Handelís Sarabande of the title is a majestic and elegant dance - the portraits of Goya, the turn of the century exotic and socialite Marchesa Luisa Casati and garden flowers. As always, there is a melancholic undertone: faded flowers are trapped in chiffon and lace, ruffled skirts constructed out of tiers of delicate petals and prints are botanical brightly coloured birds and blooms, scattering swallows and winding stems of leaves. Show pieces include a dress made entirely out of frozen flowers. Tailoring is this time more fluid than it has been and clothing indebted to horsemanship is worn with finely worked, oversized pirate shirts. McQueen's idealisation of the feminine form continues with an exaggerated hour-glass silhouette.' So the dress is an original Alexander McQueen design but one that was executed after his death. The connection to Lee makes it very interesting and the dress is exceptionally beautiful.

The dress is stunning and even though it is meant to be a wedding dress I think that his work transcends any box assigned to it. As stunning a piece it would make for a bride it would also be spectacular for the events surrounding a wedding weekend or as a gala / event piece. The dress is very fitted through the bodice and waist with a fully built in corset whose boning acts as a secondary design element. You can just see it peaking though the lace over the bust and bodice and the curves and complex pattern iff the boning makes for an interesting detail in itself. The breasts are formed and cupped and and the skirt falls to about the knee, depending on your height, at the front. The sleeves are to the elbow and made from a single layer of that stunning lace. It is set to sit off the shoulder and the runway version in black really gives you an idea of fit. On the runway I think they added a hip peplum or tulle under the back and sides to create a more bustle effect. On this one the train falls in a more graceful and soft feeling down the sides and then down the back to slightly train behind you. If you loved the look of the runway it would be easy to have something made to support the fabric underneath and recreate that look. It is an incredible dress and though it does look pretty on my dress form it is no where near as gorgeous as it will be on an actual body. Excellent condition with one minor note below. 

The bodice has a full complexly boned corset and cups and closes with a back hidden set zipper. The lace snaps into place over the top portion of the zipper and just above it. The skirt is fully lined in an ivory silk. This was never worn but there is a small yellowing spot on the back of the lace above the zipper that happened during storage. It is on the underside of the lace that snaps to close so once it is snapped into place the lace above it hides it completely. I have added three photos after the label shots to show this. The first is the mark on the lining, the second to show that it peaks out on the lace just slightly and the third shows it snapped close with the other side over it completely hiding the mark. The corset does have some stretch. Tagged a 42

John Galliano was moved from Givenchy to Christian Dior in October of 1996 and stayed there until he was dismissed in February of 2011. This dress is from the Fall 2007 collection and was a piece that was produced in limited quantities for retail. In the runway we can see similar beadwork and the design used on the upper part of the dress referenced  in look 26 in an shorter orange version. A shorter version in black with a slightly different bodice was also worn by Penelope Cruz when she attended the 2008 Cruise collection show. I have included photos of both of these examples here as it is always interesting to see the progression and variations on a theme that a designer chooses to do.

Vogue raved about the collection saying in part: "If you're getting into the forties this season (and that's definitely one way to go), John Galliano is the man to fulfill those latent Joan Crawford urges, no holds barred. His ready-to-wear collection for Christian Dior was virtually a camp-fabulous Hollywood spectacular—like a pumped-up 2007 remake of The Women (Cukor, 1939; ever a fashion favorite), but this time played out in full glorious purple, pistachio, electric blue, and fuchsia, rather than black and white.' This is one of my favourite Dior dresses that I have had in the shop to date and it is even better on person and on an actual body.

As with many Galliano piece this dress is entirely cut on the bias and it is meant to be on an actual body and not a mere dress form. As good as it looks on the form once on an actual body it will only be better. The dress is made from a rich looking champagne coloured silk satin that in certain light has a slight silver undertone to it. The fabric and the way it is cut and draped allows it to hug the body but without being tight. It skims over the body and highlights every curve yet is very comfortable and easy to move in. Once on an actual body and you start to move in it the dress moves with you. The dress molds itself around the bust and plunges at the front into the squared off neckline. A wide panel of fabric runs down the centre of the body to the bottom of the torso. All of the fabric on either side of that center strip is gathered and hand draped into and under the panel in big soft folds. Then he embellished it with little silver flat metal sequins meant to suggest tiny leaves, hand sewn tube beads and prong set glass crystal rhinestones. These catch the light and add even more glamour to the dress. As the draped silk of the dress nears the bottom of that center panel is starts to open up more into looser folds and eventually falls and expands out into the skirt. The skirt has yards and yards of fabric in it and I love how it is draped around the sides of the hips for shape and volume. It gives you this insane hourglass feel. At the back the fabric is lightly gathered into the zipper so it is fitted on the back and then it falls out to the skirt with a series of panels built into the back for added volume. It then extends out to a short train at the back for the perfect finish. It is one of the most beautiful and glamorous dresses I have ever had in the shop. It is red carpet worthy and would make an amazing wedding dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. It appears to have never been worn or worn very little. Excellent condition

John Anthony is an award-winning American fashion designer best known for simple, elegant clothing with a strong sense of chic. His work veers towards minimalism, with sharp tailoring, striking evening wear being his signature. He is renowned for his cutting and tailoring. From the day that he launched his atelier in 1971 his design philosophy is a fusion of function and purpose. The function is his logical, wearable approach; the purpose, his pared-down ideas. As a designer, he considers it his job to make things easy for the customer. He designs with focus and a narrow palette for both day and night, so items can easily intermingle. He uses natural fabrics and is noted for contradictory daywear fabrics in his evening collections. In the early 70’s he was one of the first designers to promote the idea of easy-to-travel clothes that resist wrinkling. By 1976, he was showing soft, liquid separates in muted colours that became his trademark and received 2 Coty awards, one in 1972 and one in 1976, as recognition. 

His business was all done on a made to order basis. That means the majority of pieces you will find are a one-off, or if there are similar pieces, very few of each piece exist. This personal attention to each dress is clearly seen in the workmanship of his pieces. His work is very expensive and beaded pieces did, and still do, retail for over $10,000. His work is a personal favourite of mine and I am thrilled to offer this exclusive nine piece capsule collection of pieces and samples that John pulled from his own archives to share with you. 

This is a dress that when you see it in person seems impossible to have the level of detail that is does on the silk and netting fabric. It is magical in person. The dress is made from a beige nude silk chiffon through the body and then the upper bust and back are made out of a nude silk netting. It is cut to skim over the body with a suggestion of a waist worked in by vertical seaming. The netting above the front edge of the bodice curves up to the shoulders and then down the back. The back is dipped very low so you see your lower back peek through the netting. Onto the netting is a design that reminds me of coral in the way that it has been executed. A fine silver colour metal thread is first used to create the organic feel of the pattern. Then onto that is a dense application off silver sequins, soft pastel blue beads and rhinestones. These are applied thickly enough that they sit up and off the silk to give a 3D effect. They run over the entire dress and over the netting as well. When this is on the body the effect that this creates is astonishing. I think it is one of the most beautiful textile examples I have ever seen. A long slit up the side allows a flash of leg to show when you walk or sit. It is magnificent. Besides being a very wearable dress for any special evening  this would make a stunning wedding choice for the bride looking for something not as traditional or as an option for an event over a wedding weekend. Excellent condition with a minor note below.

Fully lined in a node silk chiffon and closes with a hidden side set zipper. One of the shoulders has a Velcro close to help get in and out of it.
