This dramatic, Haute Couture feeling gown, has a divine cut and presence about it. Constructed from a high grade silk gazaar that was likely chosen for its ability to hold shape and volume while still being light in weight. The gown is cut into a sculpted mermaid design with a high and voluminous caped effect that circles the shoulders and gives it its couture feel. At the back it closes in way that is hidden so the line of the dress remains unbroken. At the front, the caped shoulder highlights the face and curves down in soft pleats that work their way into the soft V neckline at the center. The waist nips in and the skirt is remarkable as it falls to the floor. From the waist to floor at the front it is a sleek column. At the back it is also cut in a fitted sheath to just past the knees. It then erupts in a full lower ruffle that gives it a trained effect at the back and volume at each side, to mimic and pick up on the shape and feel of the shoulder detailing. It is classic, feminine Oscar de la Renta and quite beautiful. Elaborate inner finishes. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a pink silk taffeta with hand finishes. Closes with a back painted metal and nylon zipper. There is a wide belt included that is not pictured. It is backed in leather and the leather has dried out. I will include it but it would need repairs. Personally I don't like the dress with the belt. It is far chicer without. Tulle inside the shoulder detail and back skirting for added volume as seen. There skirt is also lined with silk organza and has a band of stiffening inside the bottom hem.

The ribbed knit and soft cotton mix jersey used for this set is so fine and light that it is just wonderful to wear. The fabric also holds color extremely well making it a beautiful choice for a house like Missoni whose very reputation is based on color and print. Multiple colors are used in the pretty floral print through the body of the skirt and top. To give contrast they used a ribbed knit with all the colors of the florals pulled into fine stripes on both the wide waist panel and cuffs. The skirt has lots of fabric and moves very prettily when on. The top just slips on and is cut loose and easy with skinny arms and a generous cut through the bust. Buttons down the front allow you to show as much skin as you wish. Very chic! Excellent, appears unworn condition

Both pieces are unlined. The top slips on to wear with buttons down the front and the skirt has elastic at the waist.

One of the most coveted of all the Sant Angelo designs, these little stretch mesh overlay dresses are prized and hunted down by their fans! They are the ultimate fitted and sexy dress with stretch jersey under the top mesh. It was his signature to play with the tones of the inner and outer layers so that once on the dress takes on a pretty mix of the two hues. In this case the inner lining is a bright cobalt blue and the exterior a deeper blue. It is cut in panels and plunges at the front and back. You can make the skirt as high up the thigh as you dare. I love the little hip swag on this one that runs all the way down and around the skirt. I have not seen this particular detailing on one of his dresses before and it gives it a saucy, exotic flare. Very rare and special. Excellent condition.

A more covered version of this dress was photoed for Vogue Australia on Lana Ogilvie in 1990 by Anthony Gordon

Lined in a stretch blue jersey. Almost impossible to measure as it literally will stretch to fit up and down and will fit as small as a size 0. In 1990 the one pictured on Lana retailed for $1890 - add inflation and you can see the high cost of these!

Treacy Lowe pieces are amongst my favorites. She was a designer that really designed around her chosen and custom fabrics. She had most of them made to her specification in India so when you find a piece they are not only one of a kind because they are vintage, but also because of the small runs of fabric that she used. This one is a cotton that has been dyed and woven so that it has an almost iridescent quality to it and the color and tonality changes dependent on the light. Onto this is trim work of a hand embroidered detailing. It has its original sash so you can wear it loose and easy as a caftan or cinch the waist for shape. I love the elaborately embroidered neckline! Excellent condition.

Love this sleek black velvet coat from Roberta di Camerino. It has that perfect lean seventies cut with pointed collar and the most amazing gold toned metal buttons. That glint of gold gives the coat an amazing luxurious feel! I love how it is cut slim through the body and arms and then flares out at the hem. Really exceptional and rare. Excellent condition

A beautiful ribbon weave silk chiffon dress meant to be layered over a slip or under-layer. The fabric design is classic Hanae Mori, drawing on her love of flowers. It is cut like a loose fitting sheath through the body and I love the primness of the high neckline. Each sleeve ends with a pretty little ruffle. What makes it unique though, is the pretty ruffles that run down each side of the skirt. This combined with that pretty ribbon effect running through the fabric and the cuffs give the entire dress a very romantic and feminine feel. It is very chic and pretty! Excellent condition.

Unlined and closes with a back zipper and snaps at the back neck. Each cuff has elastic just above the ruffle finish.

Bias cut, silk chiffon layers give this beautiful gown a light as a feather feel while keeping it looking expensive and chic. The inner two layers are black silk chiffon with a spectacular top layer that has a swooping design of a silver blue, a gold and a copper in a metallic fine thread applique fused onto the silk. The hem flares out at bottom, actually by quite a bit, but because it is cut on the bias it feels more like a column when the wearer is standing still and only displays its wonderful fullness once you move or twirl. The way it is cut is very old school and very much like earlier couture twenties pieces. It has that classic one shoulder shape and the shoulder from which the entire dress suspends is topped by a dramatic bow made of the same fabric. Really a wonderful dress! Excellent, appears unworn condition.

Fully lined in a two layers of black silk chiffon that is also bias cut. It closes with a hidden side zipper. The bias cut allows for a variety of sizes as long as the bust fits

This is the all red version of the red and white suit that walked the S/S 1994 catwalk. Designed by Gianni Versace himself, this is everything you want in a Versace suit from this time period. It is constructed from a fine lightweight wool in the perfect shade of red that is immensely flattering to most skin tones. The skirt is a little A-line cut and is finished above the knee and allows for miles of leg to show. The jacket has a military vibe to it with a double breasted front and fitted silhouette. Silk satin straps go up and over each shoulder and are anchored with large silver metal medallions. This leaves just a peek of bare skin showing in between for a sexy edge. Those same buttons continue down the front of the jacket, getting slightly smaller as they near the waist. This change in size cleverly creates the illusion of an even tinier nipped in waist. Each of the buttons is made of a silver metal and are done in full raised relief, with the Versace crest and two circles of rhinestones. Each sleeve ends in a mock tuxedo cuff made from the same satin as the shoulder detailing and are each finished with the same large sized metal & rhinestone buttons. Beautifully finished. Excellent condition.

A dreamy romantic cut combined with an almost neon orange and hot pink make for an ultra feminine and high end dress! This is Ferre at his best. The inner dress is actually a stretch bandage dress so clings to every curve like a glove. A stretch silk satin band binds the waist and then pink silk chiffon panels form a goddess feel bodice that is suspended from the shoulders by pretty velvet buttons. Panels of that same pink chiffon attach under the waist band in pretty panels at the front and back - by only placing them on the front and back he cleverly allows the uber fitted bandage skirt underneath to be glimpsed - a sort of subverted sexuality. The jacket is a classic cropped box cut and uses that same silk satin as its base and then those are all attached to each other by panels of the pink chiffon. It is honestly just wonderful and even better in person! Ferre is a designer that is sometimes overlooked but he really did amazing work! Excellent, appears unworn condition.

The dress is unlined and closes with a back painted nylon zipper. The fabric has stretch and is meant o fit very tightly. It has elastic along the inner bodice top edge. Each shoulder has a velvet button and loop to close. The jacket is fully lined in pink silk chiffon and has no closures. Both pieces are tagged as a 40. Note that there is a smudge on the side of the inner skirt under the panel. Priced accordingly

Based on the label and the fabric and after some research, I am fairly certain that this is from the 1997 collection. That collection featured knits with metallic elements. If it is not that year then I suspect that it is even earlier. It is rare to find early Dries and this dress is just a fabulous example of his work. It is a sweater dress and made of a lightweight knit that has silver thread worked through it so the dress has a subtle glint in the light. Fabric is always the start point for Dries so it is easy to understand how the design of this dress evolved as the cut takes full advantage of the properties of the knit. On the sleeves and hem the knit is a looser weave so you get a glimpse of skin peeking through - very subtly sexy. Both the sleeves and skirt flare at the point the weave of the knit changes. It is one of those pieces you just slip on and feel instantly fabulous in. It is meant to be slightly over-sized and sloppy in feel in that perfect nineties way. You can just picture Kate Moss wearing this with combats and some fab leather jacket thrown over it. Excellent, appears unworn condition.

This pretty much sums up 1980s nightlife. It is a huge over-sized shape with a banded ribbed & elastic sweater at the hem. This allows you to wear it high up and as mini dress or you can wear it lower down and create a longer shape (both options are photoed for you). It is completely covered in glossy black sequins, all in perfect rows so you get the illusion of added height. Cut fairly generous, it is meant to be big and loose on the top and then you will have that narrow flash of leg at the bottom. You can wear it by itself or layer it over other pieces like skinny legged jeans or leggings.Super piece and in excellent condition.

This is a real treasure. There is a certain Malcolm Starr period of time where they were making the most exceptional beaded pieces in the British Crown Colony. These pieces, like this little perfect dress, are very high quality and very well made. A modern equivalent would surely cost several thousands if the work was replicated. If it even could be which I doubt! Glass tube and seed beads completely cover the exterior in a dense covering from shoulder to hem. Worked in and amongst those are trailing vines created from tube beads. These vines are decorated with pink and clear rhinestones like pretty pastel drops of dew. This detailing is on both the front and back. Because of the dense covering it has a good solid weight to it which, once on, balances perfectly and feels comfortable to wear. Really extraordinary and a real treasure! Excellent condition.

Fully lined in pink silk and it closes with a back painted metal zipper. I see no bare areas of bead work. Note that it was too small to fully close on the mannequin - it does do up entirely in the back in the right sized girl.

Butter soft leather with amazing and dramatic fringe combine with intricate embroidery on this iconic Claude Montana piece! We are seeing a resurgence of all things fringed this season and it is pieces like this that are influencing that! Wide padded shoulders that are embroidered create that strong shape. It narrows down to a wasp waist and crosses and snaps down the front. The sleeves follow this same tapered shape as they reach the cuffs. The back is where all the drama lies - fringes extend from either side of the beautiful embroidery at the back and down each arm. This creates movement and the effect when on is just fabulous! Excellent, appears unworn condition.

Fully lined in a black silky rayon and closes with snaps at the front, set angled to follow the seam. Two pockets on either side of the front as shown. Note that the mannequin is a 4-6 and it is not pinned on her so a smaller girl could wear this and just have that over-sized feel.

This late seventies gown from Victor Costa is pretty fabulous. I am not normally a huge fan of velvets but for some reason the edgy mix of the black edged silver lame detailing puts this gown into a category all on its own. It is cut to hug every curve and follow the lines of the girl wearing it. It has a sexy rounded and scooped bodice that gives it an Old Hollywood feel and I love how the silver detailing is set so it trails up and over the top edge. The skirt widens as it nears the floor and at the back it has a panel of fabric built in to create a trained effect that starts at the low back. I adore how the silver is placed on both the back and front and that low back is just sexy! It is pretty phenomenal and I love it! Excellent, appears unworn condition

Fully lined in a black silky rayon. It closes with a side, hidden set zipper. Boned and lined through the bodice so wearing a foundation garment would be optional. The back panel is an actual extension of the skirt.

Insanely over the top, this Mr Blackwell gown is just fabulous! It has a mix of showgirl, thirties Hollywood & red carpet mixed with an undeniably eighties glam and it somehow all works! The extravagance of it gives it a high couture feel and the girl wearing this will definitely capture all eyes and attention! It is cut with an angled and full skirt that perfectly balances the huge and dramatic bow on the side. The other sleeve is a pouf that sits low off the shoulder. I love how the angled neckline mimics the angle that the low set skirt is cut at. It is a touch too big on my mannequin and I do not like to overly pin items, but do know that on a girl of the proper size, it will be more curve hugging. The fabric is a semi sheer silk organza set with little black and silver "eyelash" details that cover the fabric  from shoulder to hem and add an interesting textural detail. It really is quite fabulous and a definite entrance maker. Excellent condition.

Fully lined through the body with a black matte rayon. The skirt has two layers of tulle and the puffed sleeve is lined in a chiffon. It closes with a side zipper and both ends of the puffed sleeve have elastic.

A killer gown by Bob Mackie who is best known for dressing Cher and for his love of opulence and bead work! He worked for both Edith Head and Jean Louis and I think he secretly always designed for the big screen and the bygone glamor of Hollywood. His work always is over the top and extravagant. This is an amazing silk jersey gown in a sleek and simple black that is cut to create height and curves. It would not be a Bob Mackie without some glitz though and the neckline and shoulder straps give it that in spades! Beads and rhinestones are heavily applied to completely cover each strap that curves over the shoulder. The bead work continues around and down through the curve of the low set back and then down the front to the waist on the front. Attached to those heavily beaded areas are dangling bits of beads and silver balls. The bodice and shoulders are very structured and molded inside so you are fully supported. It feels like couture on! Extremely well made and in excellent condition

Fully lined through the bodice in silk that is completely hand set, with a built in corset type foundation and is boned and slightly molded in shape. It closes with a back painted, hand set zipper. Hand finished throughout. The skirt is left unlined and the fabric is opaque enough that this works.

This is an incredible jumpsuit by the Scaasi Boutique label. This label was started as a ready to wear option and the pieces where exquisitely made, to demi-couture standards really, and it was very expensive in its day. Scaasi loved to design clothes that were extravagant and over the top. For him, more was more and embellishing pieces made them more interesting and dramatic in his eye. He dressed many celebrities, socialites and first ladies to! This jumpsuit is fabulous. Made of a white net on a nude chiffon base with gold thread worked through it in a swirling pattern. Onto that are gold sequins that follow the pattern underneath. The effect is a soft muted gold from head to toe. The shoulders are cut wide so you get a nice expanse of bare skin. The waist is cut slightly high and it can easily be belted for a more hourglass shape. Each leg is cut wide and full. It is amazing and I love it! Excellent, appears unworn condition

A two time celebrity favorite, this stunning Yves Saint Laurent silk dress has been worn in its various color ways by both Gwyneth Paltrow and Maggie Gyllenhaal! From the collection that Yves drew strongly from the 1940s silhouette, the lines of this little silk dress are amazing. This one was done in a combination of black shot with brilliant pops of blue and crisp whites. It wraps and ties to close so is very easy to wear and feels great when on. It is also very forgiving and allows you to cinch it in or wear a little looser if needed. The shoulders are slightly gathered along their tops and the sleeves are cut full with lots of volume. Yves utilized a common forties trick of a small padding just along the edge of the shoulder seam that helps give the shoulder cap a little lift. It ties at the side and the front has the perfect plunge! Excellent, appears unworn condition! A classic and well documented dress!

 What a find! This brilliant blue velvet dress reminds me of the lines of a vintage skating dress with that perfect Kamali twist! The skirt is full - there are actually several yards of fabric in there - and that fullness is made more apparent by the nipped in waist. The top is cut full through the base of the sleeves, again emphasizing that illusion of a tiny waist. I love that she chose to use snaps to do it up. It will completely close right up and will create a high regal neckline if you wish. The skirt is set in along the curved and dropped waistline in soft gathers of fabric. This adds a nice texture to the dress and a visual interest without having to add pattern or design. Full padded shoulders give it that iconic Kamali feel. Excellent, appears unworn condition.

This brilliant blue Cassini dress has that sexy, cabaret, girls who lives best in the wee hours of the night, Studio 54 kind of feel. Made of 100% silk, it's completely covered in glossy brilliant blue sequins, all in perfect vertical rows so you get the illusion of length and leanness! It is cut fairly generous through the upper body and then is more fitted through the hips. Love the way it gives the illusion of a wrap over and it is tacked and stitched just above the hip for a nod to the thirties swag feel. The way it catches the light and the vibrancy of the blue is just fabulous in person! Excellent condition!

This incredible coat could have stepped of the spring runway since this silhouette is back and a major trend! The State of Claude Montana label began in the late eighties and the pieces were very well made and had that street edge mixed with high fashion that Claude was so well known and revered for. It is cut loose and easy with a wrapped robe feel to it. A long soft collar extends into the front edges. Pockets allow for the perfect slouchy stance and the original tie belt gives it shape. He designed for strong powerful woman and this coat has held its own even after all this time! Excellent condition

Chic, fitted bombshell cocktail dress by Carolyne Roehm. She worked at Oscar de la Renta and you can see that influence here. This is a label you don't see a ton of - she only had her company from 1985 to 1991 so when we find one we are pretty excited. This is a great example of her work and it is well made and appropriate for almost any occasion. It is cut simply, with a wonderful fold pleat detail at the waist that is curved and set to create a hourglass feel. A glitzy rhinestone encrusted jewel sits at the top of one hip for a bit of flash. Love that the sleeves come up and out of the waist so you get that bit of upper body fullness that was all the rage at the time and yet it maintains a classic, forever feel that goes beyond trends.

This little red and black plaid halter dress by Ralph Lauren is just too cute for words. It is the perfect statement piece or you can layer it under other pieces to have just a hint of rugged sexy girl-next-door. It ties around the neck and leaves your upper back bare. It is cut with no true waist definition but does curve gently in to create shape. Love the bold and iconic print and the fact that it is made of a super light version of a hunters shirt! Excellent condition

Fully lined in black silky rayon. There is one small nick in the fabric on the right hip bit it does not detract. Closes with a back zipper and ties behind the neck

A chic little red jersey dress by one of the masters of the jersey dress during the seventies, Stephen Burrows! Designers like Burrows were taking the classic silhouettes and doing them in jerseys for all the girls that were going out and dancing all night long. Just by changing the fabric like that, his dresses changed into something sexy and daring. He plunged the neckline on this one and seamed it so that it seems to wrap and tie around the body at the hip, but it actually does not. It is all just an illusion. I love how the top portion is lean and fitted and the skirt flares so that when you dance it has lots of movement. A beauty! Excellent condition

Dramatic is an understatement when it comes to this gown! This is the epitome of that over the top eighties decadence and that silhouette of a strong upper body paired with narrowing through the hips. Made of a double layer of stretch jersey in an ink black, the fabric drapes over the body and is set on the bias. The sleeves taper to skinny cuffs and are wide where they come out from the bodice. Though It is of course those two huge rings of dyed black fox fur that ring each shoulder and down and around the sleeve right to the waist where all the drama is created! The neck softly drapes at the front and then a shocking and daring open keyhole from neck to waist finish the back. Not for the faint of heart! Excellent, appears unworn condition.

Lined in the same jersey as the exterior. It closes with a hand set zipper at the low back and buttons at the back of the neck. There is a slit at the middle back of the skirt so you can walk. Padded shoulders that could be removed if you wish.

What a gown! I normally stick to the earlier Halston pieces, in fact its sort of a rule since I am Halston obsessed. However, for every rule there is an exception and boy does this dress warrant breaking all the rules! A double layer of black stretch jersey is cut to accentuate your curves. The design brings all the draping and gathers in towards the center of the waist at the front and the skirt even curves up towards it as well. This creates a nice long and lean line. The sleeves are long and lean and each is finished with a full 9" fur cuff! The front plunges low and there are hook and eye running down to the waist there, so in theory you could allow it to plunge even further if you dared! Excellent, appears unworn condition

Fully lined in the same jersey as the exterior. Closes at the front with hook and eye to the waist and a zipper under that. Each cuff snaps off so that you can get the dress portion dry cleaned like a regular dress and not have to have it specialty cleaned each time. The cuffs show no wear at all. I suspect this was a custom piece as it is far better made then most pieces I have seen from this era of the Halston line.

This coat is fabulous. I really wish you could see how well it sits and moves and how great it feels once on! It has that classic 1980s over-sized feel which is once again the rage. It is made of a fine wool that is of a light-medium weight but warm. It's like a huge blanket with no closures - you could wrap it and add a thick leather belt if you wish, but it is meant to have that just thrown on feel. The sleeves are cut very wide so they continue that full and slouchy feel. If you remotely love it in the photos you will be doing happy dances once it is in person and on! Excellent condition

Partially line through the upper back and front like a kimono would be. All the seams are ribbon finished. Pockets in each side and immaculate inside. Meant to be over-sized so will fit a variety of sizes depending on how slouchy you want it to feel. The mannequin is a 4-6 and we tried it on size 8-10 and it works for both and could prob work for a 12 as well.

A very dramatic chiffon gown by the designer best known for dressing Marylin Monroe - Travilla! Done in an unusual pink and taupe combination the fabric has been perma-pleated meaning that there is actually yards and yards of fabric in this! It cascades from the shoulders and falls in a caftan like feel to the floor. The way the pink panel is set at a curve gives the wearer height and leanness to balance the sheer amount of fabric in this! The sleeves are semi-sheer and cut in the same shape - widening dramatically as they near their ends. Attached at the neck is a scarf that you can wrap and tie as you wish. It presents perfectly but has a few small flaws - the price is literally half of what it would be because of this and sold as found. Please see next paragraph.

Fully lined in a taupe silk rayon except for the sleeves and closes with a back painted zipper. When on it presents perfectly but when laid flat and the fabric spread out you can see snagging and small snag tears around the bottom of the skirt - I feel this was stored incorrectly and on too short a rack and this is from catching on rollers  as racks were moved slightly. Literally halved in price because of this but you could wear this easily and never know - there is so much fabric it gets lost in the folds!

This is an unusual silk organza chiffon dress by Adolfo in beautiful shades of a soft chocolate with little applied dots of a fine felt. I love the muted color effect of those dots that the layers create by that gathering through the bodice and sleeves. Each sleeve is a single layer of organza and elastic is used to give a nod to the old mutton sleeve of the past. This Victorian feel is carried through with the bodice cut high around the neck. The skirt has three layers - the dotted one you see, a plain organza one under that and an inner silk layer against the skin. An attached tie cinches in the waist as much was you wish and adds a pretty solid pop of color to anchor the whimsical and light feel of the fabric used. It is so pretty and so unusual! I love how all the edges are finished with a ruffle. Excellent condition!

Fully lined in semi sheer organza with an additional layer of silk inside the skirt. The hip measurement is based on this inner layer. It zips to close at the back with a painted metal zipper.

Most Bessi dresses are flamboyant colorful things, but this one has a slightly more refined, laid back feel. This dress feels like it has stepped out of a time capsule - it is in pristine, like new, condition. Made of a silk jersey combined with silk chiffon it uses the print to define and accentuate its shape and cut. I love how the the very full chiffon sleeves are cut extra wide and are defined by that beautiful print border edged in a graphic black and white strip. The design trails up and across the bodice and back of the dress and then that same edging shown on the sleeves rings the waist and hem. The color is a chic and simple light taupe and the combination of jersey and chiffon give it an airy feel. Excellent condition

The bodice and sleeves are unlined and the skirt has three layers - two top layers of silk chiffon and an inner silk layer. The hip measurement is based on the innermost layer. Each skirt layer is edged with a border design. It closes with a back painted metal zipper. Note that it is more of a cafe au lait color then shown

This is a drop dead gorgeous piece that is completely versatile! This iconic Jean Varon design it has been constructed out a pretty printed tissue silk that makes it light and easy to wear and also gives it lots of movement. I recently had its near twin in the shop but that one was made of a deep green velvet. The photos do not come close to capturing the depth and prettiness of the color and how the fabric moves and drapes when the wearer moves. It can be worn as both a fantastic and show stopping evening coat or can be worn as a dress if kept done up! The coat's design is based on volume and draping. Each sleeve billows to the wrist and is gathered at the wrist in pleat work, The collar is high and again gathered there. The back is constructed with soft pleats that widen as they near the hem to give it lots of volume and movement. Similar pieces reside in museums around the world and it is fantastic example of his work and the only print version of this cut that I have seen. Very dramatic! Excellent, museum quality condition!

Unlined and buttons down the front. The buttons has engraved little "x" in them. It can be worn as a light evening coat since it opens completely Each sleeve buttons to close and there is one button missing on one cuff.

This is a lovely and versatile dress with just spectacular pleat work done to it. The entire upper shoulders and down each sleeve of the exterior chiffon overlay has fine flat pleats worked into them that become a design element on their own! I love that the cut is full on the outer dress so you can wear it loose and easy or tie at at the waist to create shape. The tie belt is original and is a long rectangle so it could also be worn around the neck or as a head scarf. Each sleeve is full and wide and I love the metallic thread that runs through the fabric to create that shot of color and the design. Inside there is a simple jersey shift dress with some stretch making it effortless to wear despite its fancy feeling exterior! Excellent condition

The inner jersey dress acts as the lining. The exterior dress is semi-transparent. The inner dress slips on and the exterior dress has an offset row of fabric covered buttons down one side of the back.

The first thing that strikes you when you pick this up is that it is virtually weightless. The lace is fine and light and it is backed in a nude silk chiffon. This allows for that feeling of lightness and once on it is heavenly to wear. I love how she has used color to define the dress. The silver lace covers the bodice and where it meets the metallic blue lace it creates its own shape and pattern. The skirt is a simple A-line and silver medallions adorn its surface. The sleeves are not lined so you get the tiniest glimpse of skin through the lace and I love how they end in that same blue. It is elegant and regal and the effect of the silver in the light cannot be conveyed by the photographs! Its amazing in person!

Fully lined in a nude silk chiffon except for the sleeves. It closes with a back painted metal and nylon zipper and then snaps over that so the zipper is concealed. Each sleeve has a fine sipper at the cuff.

From one of the later revivals of that famous safari collection is this equally fabulous (and easy to wear) safari sack dress. Cut to be open and loose through the bodice and waist and then hug the hips. You can belt this for more definition but it is shown here without so you can see its fabulous lines!

Stunning taupey pink silk that has the feel and look of a sharkskin silk. It is beautifully made and a classic A-line. It opens completely so is a proper jacket but I think you could easily make it play double duty as a dress if you wished. It closes with wonderful gold tones metal buttons that are each rounded and have that famous Valentino V on them in high relief. Each sleeve has a little "cuff" of a cafe au lait silk under its hem - a lovely touch that ups the coat's overall refined feel. A simple neckline and faux pocket flaps on each hip are the perfect details. Excellent condition with one small flaw to note. Please see next paragraph.

Fully lined in a taupe silk and buttons to close with the metals embossed buttons. The pockets on each hip are decorative only. There are two tiny nicks in the fabric of the shoulder where the fabric has thinned a touch. They are left as is - I felt that a stitch might make them more apparent. Priced accordingly

A spectacular, bohemian metallic thread maxi dress that has been done in weightless silk chiffon. This is an extraordinary dress that masterfully combines cut with an exquisite fabric. Made of tissue thin, almost weightless silk chiffon in a brilliant teal blue mixed with a floral and paisley print that has pops of pinks, greens and purples. From top to bottom, a fine gold thread has been worked through the silk in vertical rows and this gives the dress a subtle shimmer when you move. It has a square cut front and back and the sleeves blouse and balloon softly above each cuff! The skirt is beautifully full and flows to the floor from a series of almost invisible fine, flat pleats built around the torso of the dress. These are so carefully done that the design in the silk appears unbroken. Amazing and in excellent, seemingly unworn condition

Supermodel length, spectacular silk jersey Holly's Harp gown in a brilliant emerald green. This is so well made and feels so substantial and yet still slinky and sexy at the same time! A real marvel of construction! The skirt falls form the waist in a long, dramatic swoop that gets wider as it nears the floor. It skims over the hips in a very lean fashion and then there is just yards of fabric by the time you reach the hem! The sleeves are slim and long. The front is just spectacular as well - each side of the bodice extends into a very long jersey tie and then you can wrap these as you wish to create a fully covered feel, a very low, sexy plunge or a keyhole of flesh just above the waist! It is fabulous! Excellent condition and very rare.

Lined in a second layer of the same fabric through the skirt only. It closes with a low front zipper that starts just above the waist seam. The top wraps and ties and you can tie it a couple of different ways. The fabric does have some stretch and is cut on the bias. In some of the photos the color seems to change on parts of the dress but that is the lighting - there is no issues with the color on the actual piece in person.

Line in silk so it is sensual feeling and feels like it weighs nothing once on - it just floats around you!

I love this Indian silk set! It has that amazing hippie chic, exotic bohemian feel but without feeling like a costume. The silk is very fine and light and has a ribbon effect worked through it so that you not only get the feel of the actual print but a secondary texture from the weave and play on the light this causes. It is actually two pieces - a skirt with an elastic waist that is very east to wear and a remarkable loose and easy top that gives the entire outfit a caftan like feel. The pattern is a pretty mix of lavenders and pinks and the silk is so light that it drapes and moves beautifully! Very light and easy to pack and style! Excellent, appears unworn condition.

What an amazing Bessi caftan dress! Great Bessi pieces are right up there with Pucci and Leonard and this particular dress is just fabulous! A cornflower blue serves as the base and then pinks and yellows are screened onto this in a stunning floral design. It's all custom screened onto a fine silk jersey that holds the colors beautifully. They are as crisp and true now as when this was first made! The cut is beautiful the upper shoulders and sleeves are slim and then the dress flows caftan like to a wide wide bottom. 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 scooped neck and contrasting border at each cuff. This same contrasting border is used around the hem and on one side it goes up the side to forma bit of a side slit for a sexy flash of leg! Excellent, appears unworn condition

From the George Halley archives comes this one of a kind, hand painted silk gown. Made of a silk crepe that has a hand painted feather design that runs across the top and back of the neck and then down each wide, kimono influenced sleeve. The sleeves are cut directly from the high waist so are amazingly wide and full! The waist nips in and then the skirt falls to the floor in a A-line shape. The painted design on the upper bodice has flat silver discs applied and worked into the design. This was customs made and a one of a kind. Overall sound condition with a couple of small issues - please read the next paragraph. Presents well!

Fully lined in a purple silk that is hand set. Closes with a back, hand set, painted metal zipper and hook & eye at the back neck. Note that there is subtle fading along the top of the shoulders - because of the pattern it looks deliberate and to be honest I am not sure if it is actually the pattern. There is also a lightening along both sides of the skirt following the seams. It could be worn as is or you could take in the skirt to make it more of a straight sheath and it would eliminate this. Priced accordingly and still an amazing example of his work and a one of kind!

Wonderful canvas coat by Pierre Cardin is like a high fashion Macintosh sans trench. This one is A-line and done in a black canvas with a taupe striping of canvas that runs across the chest and forms a giant side set "P" which is of course the Pierre Cardin logo. The hem has a similar striping of fabric and I love how the sides are cut curved and sculptural - his signature touch! The neckline is high and the buttons set to one side. The sleeves are kept simple so that the shape and that wonderful striping take center stage. Excellent condition.

An absolutely gorgeous Pucci dress with a superb citrus color palette in corals, pinks and tangerines! Made of his signature lightweight silk jersey, it has a custom screened design that features one of iconic prints. Skinny sleeves and a bodice that skims over the bust and drops into a low slung waist that then tops a sleek and simple skirt, This is a classic Pucci silhouette that is instantly recognizable and very sexy despite it covering you form head to toe. I love the band at the waist that gives it a bit of visual definition but still keeps the easy to wear cut. That band expands down the back of the dress and also is picked up at the collar, cuffs and hem. The colors all pop against each other beautifully The entire dress weighs ounces and is wonderfully bright and happy in feel as all the very best Pucci's are! Excellent, museum quality condition.

Unlined and closes with a back hidden, painted metal zipper. Each cuff has a fabric covered button to close. The fabric is a silk jersey and does have some stretch.

The colors in this gown are amazing - they are just stunning and when combined with the gold metallic threads that run top to bottom on this gown it is just beautiful. The photos do not quite capture the subtle gold gleam of the dress. The exterior layer is a silk chiffon that besides the gold threading has a wonderful print that suggests feathers - very special! I love Malcolm Starr pieces and have many in my archives and have already sold as equally a number but this is the first time I have seen this cut of dress! The design is amazing and the one shoulder gives it a definitive goddess feel! It falls in a sheath of fabric over the body and has an additional panel of fabric on one side that drapes and warps over to hide the side zipper and give the dress extra drape and volume! If you even remotely love it in the photos you will be floored in person - it is better! Excellent condition

This two piece set is an easy to wear skirt and top combo. The silk has applied glitter that makes the design you see and a row of rhinestones ring the neck. The top is cut loose and easy with wide sleeves that come out from the waist and gradually narrow down to a slim cuff that zips around your wrist. The skirt has an odd rounded cut at its hem with a portion of it cut to hang longer then the rest. I styled this at the back so it gives it an almost trained effect. Love that you can break this up and wear separate as well as a set! Great condition.

Fully lined in a black silk. The skirt closes with a side painted metal zipper and hook & eye at the waist. The top slips on and closes with painted metal zipper along the seam of one shoulder. Zippers at each cuff. Elastic at the waist of the top. There is wear to the top edge of the skirt and a small reapir tot he fabric near the waist but it is minor and covered by the top when on. Priced accordingly

This very beautiful Scott Barrie dress is made of the lightest, finest silk chiffon. I absolutely love the print on this dress and I love how he has used it to make the dress feel light, airy and pretty. The pretty pale blue exterior sits over a silk interior that is just one shade of blue off nude and the effect is that the fabric floats over the wearer. This gives it such a feminine feel and allows the fabric to really flow and move when on. The waist cinches in with the original tie belt and the front has a pretty tiny little ruffle detailing. The way the buttons are set allows for just a hint of skin to peek through which gives this otherwise innocent feeling dress a bit of a sexy touch. The skirt is stunning and just cascades to the floor. It is a really special piece and very beautiful! Excellent, appears unworn condition.
