This is just an amazing piece of art-to-wear. Hand made in Mexico in the late sixties, maybe early seventies, this is the epitome of hippie chic. Looking like it could have been worn by Talitha Getty this is an amazing and easy to wear piece. The design is based on a classic caftan this pairs light cotton with a linen like finish with an explosion of color and movement with those strands of multi-coloured ribbon applied to the front. A rainbow of colors are hand sewn into place with their ends left loose. When you move they move and create the most fabulous effect. Extra wide angel sleeves and a zip front that you can close tot he neck or leave low, are the perfect finishing touches. Presents as excellent condition!

Unlined and zips to close at the front with a painted metal zipper. There is a bit of patina to the fabric through out with some smudges of storage and foxing marks. Because of the brilliance of the ribbons and general "hippie" feel of the piece, these actually make it feel more authentic in a way.

The bust goes to 19" across from seam to seam - if this fits the rest should fit.It is 59" long from neck to hem

I love this colorful and fabulous dress. It is made by Gottex and is that perfect mix of sexy with a laid back bohemian feel. The colors are a gorgeous mix that will work for day to evening and in any setting. I love how the design has a touch of a muted gold that defines all the outer edges of it. It is cut full through the bodice with a plunging to the waist neckline that wraps over itself and then closes with two hidden snaps at the front waist. The waist itself is elastic so super comfortable to wear and if you wanted more shape you can easily move the snaps to cinch it in more, or you could add a belt. The skirt flows to the floor and the wrap design allows a peek of leg when you sit or walk. It is just amazing on. The fabric has the feel of a cotton voile but will wear and travel much better then a true cotton. It has just the slightest touch of sheerness to it and it has the added bonus of being hand washable. This would have originally been intended to wear as a piece for the beach or pool as a coverup, but you can definitely wear it out a dress on its own. Excellent condition

Unlined and wraps to close with large hidden snaps at the front of the waist. Elastic through the waist line. Tagged a small but the wrap fit will allow for a wide variety of sizes. You can easily move the snaps inside the waist so adjust to exactly where you want it. One tiny repair and a smudge to the back lower skirt that you don't see unless it's laid out flat.

This gown is divine and has been made to couture standards. I love the instant impact of the custom silk fabric with its beautiful poops of blue in a cream silk backdrop. I feel that Halley designs always start with the fabric and this fabric is amazing. It is a rich, luxurious cream silk with a bold floral design running over its surface. The bodice has a high neck giving it a more formal, regal feel. Each wrist is finished with hand cut floral appliques that ring each wrist. Each of the appliques are set with a cluster of glass crystals giving the effect of wearing a pretty jewel on each hand. The skirt is tremendous with a great volume of fabric but without adding extra width to the wearer - you could also wear something under the skirt if you wanted to create a fuller ballgown effect. Halley started at Charles James who said of the young designer that he "was a genius at draping". By the time he opened his own atelier in 1966 he was in full form and was a master cutter as well. His work is on par with couture and each piece is hand finished and has all the lovely high end details one looks for in proper couture. He is without doubt one of my favorites and I treasure each piece I can acquire. Excellent, museum quality condition

Fully lined in hand set white silk and closes with a back hand set, painted metal zipper and hook & eye at the back neck. Hidden fabric covered snaps at each cuff. Hand finished throughout.

Very sweet little maxi dress with that reference back to the Victorian era that Gina Fratini so loved and often took inspirations from. The fabric is an easy to wear and travel with polyester in a pretty grey that has a blue under tone to it. A color that will work well on most skin tones and serves as a fabulous neutral if you wish to add some pops of color when styling. The bodice is scooped and the waist set high. From there the skirt cascades to the floor in a swoop of fabric. I love the little fabric bows on each sleeve and the sleeves themselves are incredible! Each is a huge puff sleeve that ends at the elbow and gives the pieces a great silhouette. Excellent condition

Unlined and closes with a back painted metal zipper. The ties on each cuff are decorative only.

I recently sold a two piece set by George Halley with the same treatment to the silk and from the same source that all the other Halley's I have in the shop were from. I am quite sure that this is also a Halley and my client pruchased it as such. It is an amazing gown. The silk has heavily applied glitter detailed that makes the curving "flame like" design you see here. The glitter used is fused directly to the silk and because they used different hues of glitter you get an amazing look over all. It is cut loose and easy and simply wraps and hooks into place. The skirt portion that wraps over the other has a pretty extra panel of silk that creates a great drape down the front. Best, it has that incredible hand beaded belt that picks up the flame design. Halley started at Charles James who said of the young designer that he "was a genius at draping". By the time he opened his own atelier in 1966 he was in full form and was a master cutter as well. His work is on par with couture and each piece is hand finished and has all the lovely high end details one looks for in proper couture.

We are, of course, Pucci fans around here and this one is a beauty! Done in one of his earlier prints that combines florals with geometrics, it is an amazing mix of color and design. The print is screened onto a light silk jersey that feels delicious once on. It has a simple silhouette and just slips on with a wide cut neckline. The bodice skims over the bust and the print highlights the shoulders and arms a clever way to draw the eye up to the wearers face. The dress falls in a sleek and simple cut skirt leaving the waist unfitted (though you could certainly cinch with a belt). This is a classic Pucci silhouette that is instantly recognizable and very sexy despite it not being super form fitting since the fabric drapes so wonderfully. Very easy to wear cut and super chic. The entire dress is light and comfortable when on and the silk is very good quality. Excellent condition.

This dress is so much better in person and on a real body I wish you could see it in real life! It is made of a fluid scarf weight silk through the body with an overlay of silk chiffon on the bodice and a panel of silk chiffon that runs down the front The dress wraps into place and has an interesting snap and loop design at the front that the ends of the silk chiffon overlay loop through and under to create that pretty bow detail at the front. The  skirt has a faux wrap effect that is partially hidden under that draping of silk down the front. However when you move or sit you will get miles of leg showing - so sexy! The top hooks behind the neck and the back is left bare! It has a very Grecian Goddess meets studio 54 feel that I love. You cannot help but feel amazing in this dress. Excellent condition!

Fully lined in a high quality silk in a matching color. Hooks to close behind the neck and has a painted zipper at the low back. Inner waist stay that hooks to close and light boning down the sides of the bust. Hand finished throughout with excellent construction.

We are, of course, Pucci fans around here and this one is a beauty! Done in one of his signature prints, it is an amazing mix of colors combining corals and taupes. The print is screened onto a light silk jersey, also one of his signatures. It closes all the way down the front with a row of matching fabric covered buttons down the front with an easy to wear shift silhouette. The bodice skims over the bust and the all the front edges are highlighted with a bordered accents that pick up the inner design that covers the dress. This turns into a sleek and simple pencil cut skirt leaving the waist unfitted (though you could certainly cinch with a belt). This is a classic Pucci silhouette that is instantly recognizable and very sexy despite it not being super form fitting as you can choose to leave a button or two open at the neck or on the skirt. Very easy to wear cut and super chic. The entire dress is light and comfortable when on and the silk is very good quality. Excellent condition.

Gigli loved the idea of matching your bag to your dress and it was a bit of a signature for him to do so. Here we have a great little set that still has its original matching clutch. Both pieces are made of a pretty blue crushed velvet that has an almost tie dye effect running through the fabric. To this a series of plastic iridescent discs are attached. Each disk has been heat treated to partially fold and twist it and this just adds to the textures of the two pieces - this would have been cutting edge in the late 1990s. The dress is cut long and slim with pretty little cap sleeves and a detailing over the neck to give it his signature neckline treatment. The clutch is a simple zipped clutch with a little silver chain that you can wear around the wrist or tuck in for a more traditional clutch feel. This feels so nineties that it feels fresh for now with the current 90s revival. Excellent, unworn condition

Unlined and closes with a back zipper. The clutch also zips to close. Tagged a 42 but please check actual listed measurements. Slight wear to the covering of the piping on the side of the clutch. Original tags attached

This amazing dress has been completely covered in sequins by hand - a feat when you consider that the entire surface is densely packed with teeny tiny sequins that literally cover over square inch of the knit base. Harry Algo pieces are extremely well tailored and the line was sold at high end shops like the Elizabeth Arden couture salon in NYC. This is a stunning dress whose flame design is hard to pass by. Done in hues of pink the cut is a simple sheath gown that follows the body of the girl wearing it and clings to her curves but skims over the waist area. The neck is high and it is amazingly comfortable to wear due to the knit base. The sequins catch the light and the drama of the design is a showstopper. It is fantastically made and a real find! I love it. Excellent condition

Fully lined in a matching coral silky rayon and closes with a hand set, fine painted metal zipper. The sequin are densely spaced and are all hand applied - this can be seen clearly from the back - super size the label photo to see. I see no bare areas of missing sequins.

What an amazing Bessi caftan feeling maxi dress! Great Bessi pieces are right up there with Pucci and Leonard and this particular dress is just fabulous! A soft combination of pink and pastels are mixed with a romantic floral design. The print is custom screened onto a fine silk jersey that holds the colors beautifully. The colors used are as crisp and true now as when this was first made! The cut is beautiful with the upper shoulders and sleeves kept slim and flattering, and then the dress flows caftan like to the floor. The silk jersey is very light and this allows it to drape beautifully despite that there is yards of fabric used through the body. I love the V neck and contrasting border at each cuff. This same contrasting border is used twice around the hem for added drama and detailing. These are the perfect travel dress and look wonderful with flats for day or will work as a dressy piece with hells for evenings! Excellent, appears unworn condition

Fantastic sixties caftan with a luxe twist! The caftan has an inner dress that is basically a tube running from the shoulders down. Super comfortable to wear. Over this a blue and gold thread overlay sits that flows and moves wonderfully. The top layer is a deep blue organza with gold colored threading running through in a fabulous dot design. Around the edges are wide bands of gold thread. It narrows slightly as it nears the ankles which helps to still give the idea of shape and silhouette. I love the ease of wearing a caftan at night and this one with its combination of blue and gold works wonderfully for just about any occasion. You can pair this with flats or heels and it would work either way. Excellent condition

Fully lined in a deep blue silky rayon and closes with a back painted metal zipper. Due to the caftan cut this dress will fit just about any size not about lining

This is a fantastic and romantic gown by Alfred Bosand who was really one of the great American designers whose clothes where made to couture levels with lots of hand finishes and detailing to them. This deep navy gown is made from a beautiful silk net that has a dot applique running through it. I love how he has used the layering of the fabrics, or lack of layering, to create different textures and weights so even through the gown is one solid color you really get the sense of three different weights and textures. The high necked bodice has a layer under the front to suggest a corset while the back is left to be only covered with one layer of the dotted tulle. The sleeves are also left so your skin peeks through. The skirt cascades from the waist to the floor in a delicious sweep of fabrics. An extra layer of tulle is under the top layer and the inner skirt is a sensual feeling silk. The skirt is not too full nor too slim. He then creates a dramatic thick ruffle of tulle around the neck and fully down the front, picking it up again at each sleeve. It is the perfect feminine finish. A really lovely gown and very beautiful! Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a matching deep blue silky rayon and closes with a hidden set zipper under the ruffles at the front. A small zipper sits at each cuff as well.

Caftans are always an amazing vintage staple but to find one by Lanvin is a treat. It is a true caftan with minimal seaming that has one central seam down the front and back and across the top of each shoulder. It is shockingly sexy despite its full cut. The front has a round keyhole and tie and the draping of the jersey suggests the body underneath despite its wide and full cut. The sides drape and cocoon down beautifully once one and there is a small opening on each side for your hand to slip through. The color is a true black with a fabulous white bamboo print screened onto it from top to bottom. The jersey used is washable and drapes and moves beautifully. Very easy to wear and pack as well. Excellent condition

Unlined and slips on to wear. The open caftan design will allow it to fit just about any size

This cute and sexy little number is one of the classic Ossie Clark dresses and has been done here in a fabulous red moss crepe. This version has that classic button front that is pure Ossie with it big notched collar and front button plunge. The buttons are covered in the same fabric as the dress with matching fabric loops and the way they are set allows for a peek of skin right to the waist. The skirt is cut on the bias and flows over the hips in a sexy sweep of red fabric. Girls bought these long and then chopped them off to where they wanted them to fall. This one is not perfect so please read the notes below carefully, however, it presents beautifully and is listed at an amazing price for a classic and sexy Ossie Clark! Presents as excellent condiiton

Unlined and closes down the front with the fabric covered buttons as shown. Elastic in each cuff. There is a slight darkening to the fabric near the front hem (it would not photo) and a tiny pinhole near one seam on the front. Presents well when on and priced with these small flaws in mind.

How absolutely gorgeous is this dress? I love the richness of the jewel tones mixed with the gold threading and gold braid detailing at the neckline It is made of a light weight lame silk and has a beautiful print from head to toe - this, combined with the gold thread that is worked solidly through the fabric really creates a nice, rich hippie chic, exotic feel. The gold thread in woven through the fabric with a secondary paisley print to parts creating denser areas of gold that really works against the bright pops of color and floral design underneath. I love the gold braid detail. The skirt is full but not overly and swoops to the ground in a column of gold tinted silk. It is a beautiful, dramatic piece whose simple lines offset the drama of the fabric perfectly. Excellent condition.

This stunning little mini dress is from the 2010 Givenchy collection and still has its original $2430 tag attached. It has never been worn so is in brand new, off the rack condition. It slips on to wear and has an inner dress that has ruching up each side so it acts like a bias cut and fits and drapes into place. Over this are fabulous draped panels that you can adjust where they sit and how to expose more or less of the skirt portion underneath. The skirt underneath is sharply pleated so has a sort of naughty cheerleader feel as it peaks out. The way it is cut also allows you to make it micro short or a true mine. The signature and unusual cut collar finishes it perfectly. Excellent, unworn and new with tags condition.

This highly structured, almost sculptural Mollie Parnis dress is absolutely beautiful! It is cut to follow and skim over the bodice with beautiful high neck and slim sleeves. I especially love how the striping in the fabric carried over and onto the sleeves showing that special attention was paid for this to happen and fabric not spared to create this effect and attention to detail. The skirt is quite full and lovely and the choice of fabric allows it to keep its shape. The fairly simple cut is completely off-set by the spectacular fabric. It is a rich metallic silk brocade with both a geometric design and striped pattern across its surface. Each portion of the design has a slight puff appearance that really allows the fabric to catch the light wonderfully but not be overly metallic in feel. The colors are soft and feminine and the subtle underlay of gold thread give it a bit of extra pop. Hidden pockets along the inset seam on each side of the skirt are the perfect finish! A stunning piece. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a pale pink silk crepe and the exterior fabric is also backed in a pale pink silk organza. Closes with a painted metal zipper. Hidden pockets along the front seams.

Bob Bugnand pieces are a rare find indeed and this gown is just beautiful. It makes me think that is the type of piece that a girl like Audrey Hepburn would have worn - with her hair piled high to emphasize that sixties chic goddess feel it has. The white silk crepe skirt flows in a long and lean sheath from the high cut empire waist. The top is stunning - a rich and luxurious, jet black velvet is adorned with twisted bands of sparkling rhinestones that really pick up and accentuate that Grecian goddess feel the gown has. The rhinestones are glass so the dress has a good weight to it but when on, it does not feel heavy or cumbersome at all. Extraordinary. Excellent condition!

Fully lined in a white silk crepe. Ribbon finished interior seams. There is a built in half corset that is the height of the black velvet so you don't have to wear anything else. This is lightly boned and finished to a high degree. It closes with two zippers - one in the inner corset and one hidden set zipper at the back. Very slight yellowing to the fabric around the hem at the back but it present perfectly once on.

A classic Yves Saint Laurent piece, this beautiful black velvet coat will never go out of style! The top portion is cut wider and fuller with a slimmer hip and it buttons down the front. I love the wide, bold shoulders that have a bit of padding in them and each sleeve finished with a cuff so that the sleeve poufs out slightly above. The edges are finished in his signature flat braid and this also gives a great contrast to the black velvet. It closes down the front with bold buttons that are set along the edge of the cord work. It can be worn open and loose or cinched in for more shape with the original matching belt. A take on a man's coat, it is classic Yves gender play and a great basic that still has that touch of seventies glamour. Excellent condition.

This is a fabulous 1960s Mollie Parnis and I think one of my favorite pieces by her to have ever hit the shop - it is hard not to love such a strong statement piece. It is certainly one of the most dramatic dresses I have seen and yet it still has a soft and sexy element to it. It is done in a beautiful chiffon that has been custom screened with a fantastic plaid design. The pattern is a combination of deep corals and reds with pops of different colored stripes running through. Those incredible and dramatic panels of fabric that act as the flowing sleeves give is a kimono-esque, exotic feel that is unbelievable. They are each a full 42" in length and trail down the sides. The way they move and flow when you move while wearing the dress is just incredible. The skirt flows to the ground in a column of chiffon acting as the perfect balance to the sleeves. The front and back plunge to just the right amount and the waist is defined by a wide band of gathered fabric. The contrast between the colors and the beautiful cut mixed with the volume of the sleeves is incredible! Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a deep raspberry silk crepe and closes at the back with a painted metal zipper.

This wonderful and chic numbered suit would be considered demi-couture, specifically ordered by a client based on the collection designed at the time for Dior London and not purchased straight off the rack. The client would have been measured and perhaps chose the specific fabric and or cut that she wished but not gone the through the haute couture experience of having the design fitted from muslin at the Paris atelier. Numbered pieces of this type were often one of a kind and much of them done by hand. This suit is lovely - a boucle wool has a sting stripe and nubby detailing through the fabric. The stripe of the fabric has been used to define and highlight the boxed cut. The jacket is straight cut and closes down the front with large dramatic buttons. I love the wide edging that runs down the front and around the collar. The skirt is a simple pencil with a slight A-line as it nears the hem. Excellent condition

Both pieces are fully lines in a silky black satin finish fabric. The skirt has a hidden set zipper with hook & eye and a snap at the waist to close. The jacket buttons to close. The tag is numbered

This little Beene dress is a classic. I love it's proper little lines and combined with Beene's fabulous tailoring its a real stand out. Made of a striped grey wool that at first glance appears to be very simply cut but upon closer inspection you realize that all the shape through the body is created by cleverly placed, curved vertical seaming. Little pockets are hidden along the seam and it zips at the front with a concealed zipper that runs up that front middle seam. The collars and cuffs are a matte cream silk satin and give wonderful contrast. A big bow sits at the neck and the stark black of it offers the perfect contrast to the other elements. Fabulous day pieces are sometimes the hardest to find when you look to vintage but this one is wonderful! Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a black silky rayon and closes with a hidden set zipper at the front neck. Two front pockets and a decorative button on each cuff. The bow at the neck snaps into place can can be removed altogether with the snaps hidden under the collar when removed.

This late 1970s, perhaps early 80s dress is stunning. Its made of two layers of silk chiffon that have been screened with a vivid pink, cherry red, turquoise and sea blue stripe with all four colours swirling around each other in vertical rows. This instantly makes the wearer appear talker and leaner. The lightness of the fabric and the two layers over each other give it s carefree feel that perfectly combines high glamour with chic. The inner dress is more fitted with a simple tank strap bodice and long lean skirt. Over this is a more caftan feel layer that drapes over the inner bodice and skirt and flows to the floor. It comes with its wide tie belt that you can use to cinch in the waist for more shape, or if you wish to wear the dress so it has a more caftan vibe use the tie around the neck or as a head scarf! It's a stunning piece! Excellent condition.

Unlined - the inner dress serves as its own lining. Slips on with an elastic through the waist, Both layers are attached at the top of the shoulder and where the back inner tank meets the exterior fabric. A button at the back inner dress. The scarf/tie shows some thinning of the fabric. Its stable so has been left as found.

The lines and cut of this classic Chanel piece will never go out of style. This was shown on the 1996-1997 fall runway and we have included the footage in the video below along with a screen shot. The workmanship is of course impeccable. It is constructed from a classic Chanel boucle and is lined in a high grade baby blue silk that has those famous double Cs woven into the silk. It is cut very boxy, the shape is almost a play on a man's overcoat, but the combination of pastel pink and powder blue keep it very feminine. Four pockets adorn the front and the three on the hip are highlighted with a cabochon encrusted, gold tone metal button. Those buttons instantly identify this as a Chanel piece and they also adorn each sleeve and button down the front. Having all those jeweled buttons almost makes it like wearing a fine piece of Chanel jewelry. It is gorgeous. Excellent condition

Fully lined with a pale blue silk and closes with the buttons as shown. Tagged a 42 but please go by actual listed measurements. It is a light - medium weight coat. The buttons on the cuffs are fully functional.

Out of all the Goldworm dresses I have seen out there this one is my favorite hands down. I actually personally own its twin and am showered with compliments whenever I wear it. It is that perfect balance of sexy but fun ad you can't help but feel happy when you wear it with all that vivid color! This gorgeous and dramatic Goldworm printed jersey dress has a fantastic floral print. The blend of colors are amazing - vivid and vibrant colors are set on a white backdrop for the bodice and black for the skirt. A multi-color stripe runs around the waist and then up and around the neck. This use of stripe against the floral is genius. Its super easy to travel with and easy to wear - it works perfectly with heels or flats. A stunning statement piece. Excellent condition.

I am in love with this spectacular eighties two piece set from Norma Kamali that is super sexy and still feel so relevant even now! I love the two together best, but you can separate and wear them with with other items if you wish which is an added bonus. Both pieces are a liquid jersey that is so easy to wear and care for and drapes amazingly. The top is cut cropped and buttons on an angle down the side allowing you to wear it high and done up or low and sexy to one side. The pants are amazing - they are a extra high waist with a gathered panel cinching in the waist even more and then the legs are cut loose and easy through the hip and narrow to the hem - making your legs seem a mile long! Incredibly the set still has its original store hang tag attached! Excellent condition. A rare, mint condition example of her earlier work.

I think this is the most coveted of all the Bill Tice designs. A version of it sits in the closet of countless celebrities (Lady Gaga recently wore a version, as have girls like Rachel Zoe  & Nicole Richie) and it is one of those fail safe pieces that you know is going to work every time you put it on. It is insanely sexy with a halter style front that plunges tot he waist and a back that is left completely open and bare. It is made of a liquid black jersey so feels amazing on and has the added bonus of traveling very well. Its the kind of piece you can throw into your suit case and slip on  with either flats or heels when you reach some far off destination and be perfectly ready to go. The front has a high slit that shows when you walk or sit and I love the signature wide top stitch gold belt at the waist Its attached all around the back and then the front ties to cinch you in exactly tot where you want. Excellent condition.

Emilio Pucci did not always design pieces in his signature prints. Every once in a while he would throw in a solid color or metallic, less so as time passed and his prints become his bread and butter, but in the earlier days you did see solid colored garments. This one is a version of the documented 1966 jumpsuit found on page 324 of the book "Pucci" published by Taschen. The book version was done in a metallic fabric but here we see him play with two textures of black - one side is a matte silk and the other a glossier silk satin - and this one also has sleeves which adds a little more balance to offset those wide legs. The book captions describes this as the "Evening 'Chiardluna' palazzo pajama". The bodice and back plunge dramatically to the waist but are cut so that you can move freely without fear of sudden exposure. The sleeves are long and slim in contrast tot he pant legs. At first they appear to be a wide, full length skirt, this illusion helped along by a wide inverted pleat that runs down each leg. But underneath there are cleverly constructed very side pant legs making it very easy to move about in. So chic and sexy. Excellent condition

Fully lined in a fine black tissue silk and closes with a hand set, back painted metal zipper. Tagged a vintage Pucci 10 but please check actual measurements. hand finishes. Note that the zipper "sticks" a little bit near the waist seam but it is original to the pieces and does fully function so I chose to leave it. It just needs a little extra care near that area when closing.

A classic Hermes trench in a camel colored, coated canvas weight cotton! I love the fabric choice and its almost utilitarian feel. That mixed with the absolute classic lines of an original trench coat design make it feel surprisingly edgy even now. This looks like it has never been worn and is in perfect condition. You could potentially use a belt to cinch and add shape  but I sort of like the volume and shape as is. Plus it looks equally great worn open. This is one of those classic pieces that will never go out of style and it is an instant shot of sophistication over just about anything. The fact that its a collectible Hermes pieces that is extremely hard to find just makes it more of an item to covet. Very chic. Excellent, museum quality condition

Self lined in an almost rubber feel coating and the seams are all properly finished. It closes with the buttons at the front. Hand carved horn buttons and two pockets at the front.

I have included a photo of the 1952 Hermes coat that was done as a Trompe l'oell. This one is slightly older as it has Elasthan as one of its ingredients and that fiber was invented in 1958.

This gown is divine and made to couture standards. I love richness and instant impact of the fabric and the elegant cut. I feel that Halley designs always start with the fabric and this fabric is amazing. It is a rich, heavy cream silk with a hand paint design of grapes and flowers running over its surface in a soft, romantic wash of color. Over and through the design runs a layer of silk velvet fused over the pattern and used as an outline to give the fabric an extra layer of depth and texture. The bodice has a high neck and beautifully cut sleeves that widen as they near the wrist. The waist sits slightly above the natural waist line giving it an almost baby doll effect. The skirt is tremendous with a great volume of fabric and full underskirts to give it the shape and fullness you see. Halley started at Charles James who said of the young designer that he "was a genius at draping". By the time he opened his own atelier in 1966 he was in full form and was a master cutter as well. His work is on par with couture and each piece is hand finished and has all the lovely high end details one looks for in proper couture. He is without doubt one of my favorites and I treasure each piece I can acquire. Excellent, museum quality condition

Fully lined in hand set cream silk and closes with a back hidden set, painted metal zipper. The bow hooks into place in the back. Hand finished throughout with a multi layered inner skirt of silk organza and silk tulle in addition to the inner silk lining. Please note that it was too small to fully zip on the mannequin so I have included a back view photo of it lying flat so you can see it zipped as intended.

This is an incredible fur and the workmanship that would have went into it to create that amazing checkerboard pattern would still be a feat today. Schiaparelli is of course celebrated for her bold designs and elements of wit and the unexpected. The furs being produced for Schiaparelli during this time were of the best quality and that quality still shows as even some 50 odd years later the pelts are soft and supple. It is surprisingly light for a coat made during this time period - another nod to the quality and workmanship. Each square in a mere 1" x 1" so literally hundreds of them make up the surface of the coat. The collar, cuffs and hem are finished with luxurious panels of dark mink picking up the dark portioned squares within. A double rwo if buttons run down the front and there are pockets on each hip. I love the nipped in shape and you could even belt it with a wide belt for added curves. Its bold and beautiful and amazing. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in brown silk with the Schiaparelli logo woven through the fabric. It closes at the front with buttons. I see three olde, well done repairs through the fur - one of which I have photo - please super-size to view. They do not detract from the appearance when on in anyway. The pelts are soft, supple and shiny and there are no bald spots or shedding.

Halley started at Charles James who said of the young designer that he "was a genius at draping". By the time he opened his own atelier in 1966 he was in full form and was a master cutter as well. His work is on par with couture and each piece is hand finished and has all the lovely high end details one looks for in proper couture. He is without doubt one of my favorites and I treasure each piece I can acquire. This particular set is divine. I love that it is two pieces as you can break it up and wear them separate or as the suit as intended. I feel that Halley designs always start with the fabric and this fabric is amazing. It is a rich, heavy silk in a stunning yellow. Onto this is screened a floral print and each blossom and leaf is made of a grey outline and check. The larger portions of the design have an additional layer of silk velvet fused over the pattern, giving the fabric an extra layer of depth and texture.The pants are flat fronted and have a cropped skinny cigarette leg adding height to the wearer instantly. The tunic sits over the pants and feel almost like a properly made mini. It has a high neck, perfectly formed bodice and sleeves and cinched waist. Panels of fabric sit at the front and back, skirting the tunic and creating the perfect balance and proportion over the skinny pant. I love the wide sleeves - they are the perfect finish to the ensemble. Excellent condition

Both pieces are fully lined in cream silk. The tunic closes with a back painted metal zipper and the pants close with a zipper and hook & eye at the waist. There is elastic that runs through the waist band of the pants for an easy fit. Hand finished throughout and weights in the inner hem of the tunic and bottom of each pant leg. At some point the pants were let out for extra room - the inner lining was left open but stitched in place to accommodate and you can see a faint line of stitches on the exterior of the pant (please super-size the photo taken of this area)

If you need a bold, statement making, sort of crazy dress - you just found it! This is a fabulous Lanvin shirt dress from the seventies that is bright and happy feeling. It is made of a polyester jersey that takes and holds vibrant color fabulously and travels and wears perfectly - it is virtually wrinkle free! The cut is classic and simple - a button front sheath slips over the head and you are ready to go. The short sleeves are cuffed and the collar pointed. It has its original tie belt in a matching fabric so you can cinch on the waist for shape. And f all that was not good enough - the print in actually formed with a pattern of their famous "L" logo. Excellent condition!

A really amazing densely pleated silk chiffon asymmetrical dress by Alfred Bosand with a beautiful tiered design. Bosand was an American Couturier and is often overlooked in my opinion. His work is quite beautiful and he specialized in evening pieces. Here this beautiful and almost weightless gown is done in a beautiful emerald green silk. One layer forms the top and sits over a second, longer layer underneath and both layers are cut on opposite angles. I love how the edges of each layer has been rolled and then hand stitched so that you get a rounded fluted ruffle finish - so pretty! The top is stunning - it has one shoulder, leaving the other bare and the skirt is also cut on the angle so you get a flash of leg rather then full coverage. It is very light and the color divine - the bias, pleat cut makes it an easy to wear piece and that glorious color and cut gives it a high impact factor. Excellent condition.

Fully lined with a green silky chiffon, it closes with a hand set, side painted metal zipper. Hand finishes. The color is more saturated in person - the camera light makes it looks a little less intense then in real life

A beautiful Emilio Pucci dress done in one of his signature bright mix of colors with a primary base of a brilliant green and then highlighted with pops of color. Screened with one of his iconic floral prints screened onto a scarf weight silk. It closes shirtwaist style with a row of fabric covered buttons down the front and has its original belt to cinch in the waist and add shape. The bodice skims over the bust and the all the front edges are highlighted with a bordered accents in a contrasting design. This then tops a sleek and simple pencil cut skirt. This is a classic Pucci silhouette that is instantly recognizable and very sexy despite it not being super form fitting as you can choose to leave a button or two open at the neck or on the skirt. Very easy to wear cut and super chic. The entire dress weighs ounces and the silk is very good quality. Excellent condition.

Unlined and buttons down the front to close with additional snaps underneath. Original buckle belt. The fabric is signed throughout. Note that at some point the bottom hem was let down to expose the last border of print. I like it as is so have left it - you could easily tack it back up if desired.

This classic Yves Saint Laurent piece touches on his love of incorporating a touch of menswear into his designs. The cut is a classic take on a man's coat, from its simple cut to its man's suiting choice of fabric. Front slant pockets allow for a cool girl slouch and the top breast pocket is a play on a mans suit. It buttons down the front and to make it crystal clear that this is not an overcoat meant for a man, the buttons are fabulous rhinestone encrusted silver metal domes. Since it opens fully, this allows you to wear it as a light coat layered over other pieces or button or on its own as a dress once buttoned. I love the wide, bold shoulders that have a bit of padding in them and that each sleeve ends with two more rhinestone buttons in a notched cuff. It is a fabulous take on a man's coat that ends up being decidedly female. It is far better on and in person then how it photos so the lucky girl who grabs it will be very pleased. Excellent, appears unworn condition.

An early Oscar de la Renta jumpsuit is a bit of a rarity and this one is quite fabulous and just fun- I was pretty excited to find it! Made of a beautiful floral print scarf weight silk twill, it has just enough weight to not be shapeless but still feel light as air on. It really looks like a full maxi dress at first glance and then you realize it is full, wide pants! Cut simple through the bodice with a pretty ruffled accented V neck, it flares out from the waist in a delicious cascade of fabric forming two wide, wide legs! Each sleeve is long with a ruffled edge finishing them. The print is a over-sized floral with that perfect Oscar feminine feel. Really easy to wear but chic. A fabulous early example of Oscar.

This Oscar De la Renta gown is a stunning take on all things Eastern and quite beautiful. The fabric is very beautiful on this one - the metallic design is a stunning combination of blue and gold with shots of pink and green thread worked in - these catch and glimmer in the light wonderfully. I love the cleverly placement of the contrasting border that runs around the waist in the belt and then down the folded over panel of the skirt and all around the hem. A thinner version of the same runs around each cuff and up the side of the sleeve where rhinestone encrusted gold tone metal ball buttons highlight each sleeve. The shape and cut is classic hostess gown and very glamorously Oscar, with a full skirt that flows to the floor and is perhaps a touch fuller then how it photoed. A fabulous Oscar gown that is even better in person. Excellent condition

Fully lined, including the sleeves, with a blue silky rayon and closes with a back painted metal zipper. Rhinestone encrusted gold tone metal ball buttons at each wrist.

A really spectacular one shoulder chiffon dress by Oscar de la Renta is so utterly, perfectly feminine. This is a glorious piece constructed of a multi color striped silk chiffon that flows and moved beautifully. The design that runs over it is amazing with bold abstract stripes that follow the bias cut of the chiffon. It is almost weightless and yet constructed so that it drapes on the body perfectly. The skirt is to the floor and has yards and yards of fabric in it. Two layers of chiffon are under the top layer so it gives it a very floating effect when you move. The waist is cinched with a long fabric sash in a matching fabric! This really gives an added sense of richness and luxury to the piece. The top is stunning - it has one shoulder, leaving the other bare and the bodice is hand draped and gathered. Excellent condition

Fully lined in white silk chiffon and closes with side painted metal zipper. Hand finished.

This Oscar De la Renta gown is just waiting for the perfect party! The construction is quite interesting on this one - the outer layer is actually a sheer organza upon which the metallic design is worked onto in stripes. I love that the stripes seem to change in "weight". This is cleverly done by placing some of the golden threads above and some below the fabric. The collar, front, hem and each cuff has a heavy band of gold and silver braiding detail. I love the shape and cut - it is classic hostess gown and very glamorous with a full skirt that flows to the floor and is perhaps a touch fuller then how it photoed. It has a high neckline and little ruffled cuffs that are caught up in a detail of that same braiding that runs down the front. A fabulous and early Oscar design that is even better in person. Excellent condition

Fully lined, including the sleeves, with a matching silky grosgrain fabric and closes with a painted metal zipper and hook & eye at the back neck. Hand finishes. It is even more lime and gold in person.

A fabulous metallic thread maxi dress with an underlying "peacock" pattern and gold thread woven through the fabric! Oscar then took that fabric and made it pop even more with the addition of a flat braided gold metal thread ribbon that runs down the entire front of the dress, across the waist and has a flat bow to finish. The cording also has little knots of gold and colored rhinestones set on it for added glitter. The skirt cascades to the floor with an inverted pleat running down the center front. The silk chiffon is lightweight and the fabric really allows the skirt to swirl around you as you move. The top sits over the cording defined waist and skims over the torso. Each sleeve is left unlined and is cut simply. Really a lovely piece! Excellent condition.

Fully lined, except for the sleeves, in a red silk crepe. Closes with a back painted nylon zipper.

What a beautiful 1960s silk chiffon maxi dress from Oscar De La Renta! It is shockingly light - I know it looks like it should not be with that intricate pattern making it appear like it is a brocade or something along that line, but the fabric is actually a beautiful silk chiffon. The pattern is fantastic - intricate little designs are made from a fine silver metallic thread woven through the silk. The upper bodice is cut slightly full with large silver cord frog knot closures. I love how the silver design is used to highlight the bodice and the upper portion of the skirt and then tapers off subtly as is reaches the hem of the skirt. The sleeves have been left unlined giving it a touch of contrast despite it being the same fabric. The combination of silver and the soft pastel taupe really give it a pretty feminine feel. Presents as excellent condition

The dress is fully lined in a matching color silk except for the sleeve which are unlined. It closes at the front with hidden fabric covered snaps and the frog knots. Each cuff closes with hand set fabric covered snaps above the ruffle at the wrist. There is a bit of a water stain edge that runs along the back of the dress - please super size the close up of the back to see. There is also a small repair to the fabric at the top of one shoulder and on the back. Priced accordingly.

An absolutely stunning and sexy red ruffled silk chiffon dress by Oscar De La Renta. It is so fresh and modern in feel that it could be easily mistaken as a piece from a current runway collection. It is masterfully cut on the bias so it simply drapes into place to skim over the body and move subtly as you do. The color is absolutely fantastic - the perfect clear red that flatters most skin tones - I think it is even better in person then how it has photoed! A triple layered column of the finest grade silk chiffon floats over the body and cascades to the floor. The bodice is strapless and hand gathered into tiny soft pleats that hide a full interior foundation garment. At the back you have a cascade of romantic ruffles that trail down the mid back to the hem. This adds to the illusion of height and leanness and also gives it a romantic and feminine feel. Very Grecian goddess and very sexy. The matching silk chiffon shawl is quite large so can be styled several ways. It is gorgeous! Excellent, appears unworn, condition

Fully lined in two more layers of red silk chiffon with a full built in corset through the bodice that is boned and has padded interior cups. It closes with a hidden set back zipper and the interior corset has its own zipper and hooked waist stay. Hand finishes. The scarf is in a matching silk chiffon and in excellent condition.

This 1960s embroidered silk organza gown by Oscar de la Renta is spectacular and even better in person then how it has photoed. Made out of a black silk organza, the fabric was then covered in hand embroidered vines, made from an off white heavy thread. The design is raised and applied in a way that each design that covers the dress is highlighted to maximum effect. The workmanship is wonderful. The bodice is plunged at the front and each sleeve billows above the cuffed wrist. It nips in at the waist and then the skirt is cut in a soft curving flare to the ground. I love the edging on the collar, cuffs and hems - they are little flat tassels that are a witty interpretation of an actual tassel. It is hand finished inside and all that work to the spectacular fabric is done by hand. It is museum worthy and very special. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in black silk crepe with unlined sleeves. It closes at the front with hidden set hook and eye. Each cuff closes with a hidden snap.
