This is the long version that was made from two pieces shows for the resort runway for that season. You can see the same top of the green dress here and then the same red silk organza used on the the second dress we have induced for reference. Combining the two elements and making the skirt full length results in this gorgeous dress. 

This is a stunning example of Ferrertti's more recent world and a very pretty dress. The red has a touch of a coral tone to it and the fabric choice gives it a light and romantic feel. The bodice and lower skirts have an extensive paneling of an embroidered, open cut owrk lae feeling fabrication. It's pattern combines different sized flowers that are layered over each other with  parts of the design open. On the top this is set to engine down on north he front and back with the silk red silk on the side.A bide coloured mesh sits behind the plunge at the front so you get the illusion of a deep neckline but it is very secure and safe. At the back there is a little option start of fabric that you cansnap into place or fold that back as I have for a deeper more open plunge. It nips in at the waist but with a slightly generous feel and then the skirt is full and falls to the floor under that. The entire bottom half fo the skirt is covered int hat same embroidery work as the top. It is a very pretty dress and has a touch of a vintage feel to it. Its very soft and romantic and feminine. It appears to have never been worn or worn very little. Excellent condition 

Fully lined in a red silk and closes art the back with a hidden set zipper. Tagged a US6. It appears to have never been worn or worn very little.

This exceptional dress is by Marc Bohan for Christian Dior and it is a wonderful example of his work during this time period. It is not perfect but I believe its flaws could be reinforced. Please make sure to read the entire description and review the provided photos before purchasing. Its an exceptional piece and offered at a dramatically discounted price as a result of its small flaws.

It was in the late 1960s that Bohan was doing these wonderful metallic detailed dresses for Dior and the results were stupendous. The red silk chiffon base is as light as a feather and there are literally yards and yards of fabric used to make this dress. Woven through the silk is a winding flower and vine design that is entirely made form a gold lurex thread which gives the dress its metallic finish. The gold is used from neck to hem and catches the light as you move. The neckline is high and the bodice is set above a empire waist that is detailed with a wide red silk ribbon that is attached and hooks to close at the back. This is balanced by long sleeves that has a bit of volume to it above the cuffs. The skirt is fabulous and has a tremendous amount of fabric it, falling to the floor from under the red ribbon. It also has a extremely large shawl scarf piece that is made form the same fabric and I think you could easily use some of the fabric from that to reinforce the flaws. The flaws are as follows. There is stress and small tears to the fabric at the seams under each arm and near the seams. I see some very small starts of this near the seam of the top of the shoulder. There are a couple of large areas on the fabric of the skirt that also show small tears and weakening. Please review all photos provided that are shown after the label shot and read any extra details concerning condition below. Otherwise it is in great condition and presents very well

The skirt is fully lined in a red silk with the sleeves left unlined. It closes with a back painted metal & nylon zipper and hook & eye just above the zipper of the low back. The ribbon belt hooks to close. Each sleeve buttons to close and one button is missing. Hand finishes. Please read above concerning weak areas of the fabric. There may be additional teeny tiny areas I missed. The scarf could be used to reinforce the weak areas or even to recreate and replace them as it is huge. This would easily be priced for $3500 if perfect so is a tremendous bargain for the person willing to put in a little work on it. It is sold as a final sale

Ot was around 1973 that Halston really embraced sequins and started to showcase them regularly in his collections as his clients asked for more evening pieces from him. The sequin technique he used during this time period differed from later collections. In these earlier pieces the sequins were laid onto the silk underneath completely flat and were placed side by side to each other. This makes the fabric extremely fluid and flexible while giving it a glossy, liquid finish. I have included a reference photo of Liza Minelli wearing a panted version of this suit that year

The glossy black sequins on this suit have been hand placed and sewn onto a silk chiffon base. The technique used to place the sequins onto the fabric captures the light as much as possible so that it really has a high gloss feel. His sequin pieces are incredibly well done and despite their lightness in weight, there is still a solid underlying structure to them. This suit is cut to follow every curve. The skirt has a banded waist and a simple cut that flares out slightly as it nears the hem. The jacket is cut to follow the body and plunges low at the front. It corses over itself and hooks. There is also an inner elastic waist stay that wraps around you and hooks to hold it perfectly place. Excellent condition.

Both pieces are fully lined in black silk. The skirt closes with a zipper and flat hook & eye at the waist band. The jacket hooks to close with a combination of hook and eye. There is an inner elastic waist stay inside the jacket that hooks to close. Minor sequin loss around the hook to close the waist
