Fabulous strapless maxi dress by one of my favorite California girls - designer Joy Stevens! Her designs ruled the night clubs of the seventies and have a sexy, easy way about them. They tend to be that perfect fluid jersey (like this piece) and move well and wear well. This amazing dress has a tie plunge key hole strapless neckline that leaves the shoulders and upper back bare and sexy. The skirt flows to the ground in a gradual A-line and is fabulous draped. It is the perfect deep garnet color and the jersey travels perfectly. Throw it on for day with flats or wear sky high heels at night - it is a fabulous versatile piece! Excellent, appears unworn condition.

An Ossie Clark dress is always a fantastic find and you cannot go wrong with this classic shape! This moss crepe dress in an unusual peach tone only retains its Peter Robinson department store label. It has that same moss crepe smaller label inside and the cut in undoubtedly Ossie. It is a steal! It has his signature plunge front and a row of fabric covered buttons that are set to show just a hint of skin even when fully buttoned. The sleeves are fantastically full and billow out until they are cinched in at the buttoned tight, 6" skinny fit cuffs. The Moss crepe is cut on the bias so the drape is perfect. The dress has and yards and yards of moss crepe fabric that cascades and swishes around the knees when you move. Great condition!

This is everything you look for in a Wainwright piece! It has that beautiful seventies does Victorian goddess feel mixed with Grecian elements and is almost caftan like in its cut. It slips over the head and settles perfectly into place with a very low plunging V front. The skirt begins at the empire waist and is two cascading tiers that end just above the ankle. A silver lame ribbon is used to highlight the shoulders and V front. This ribbon is picked up again on each of the hem lines of the skirt and gives them a bit of shape and structure. The waist is elastic so its incredibly easy to wear. Then for the perfect finish the skirt has bits of red glitter hand applied and fused to the chiffon to create that fantastic design. It is just beautiful and a rarity as it is her early forty seven street label! Excellent, museum quality condition!

The inner tier of the skirt serves as the lining, the top portion is unlined. It slips over the head with elastic at the waist for fit. It may fit a smaller framed, small busted size 6 girl but do check measurements.

Whenever you can document exactly when a piece was produced it makes it that much more special! So my team and I were thrilled to find this Spring 1980 ad for this same Missoni dress in a different colorway. I actually love our purple version more - the color is richer and really shows off the Missoni talents when it comes to working with a dying knits. It is seriously sexy and form fitting through the bodice and then the skirt swings out dramatically with tons of volume! You just step in and it instantly clings to every curve. I love vibrant design done in hues of purple with stripes in red, pinks, green and yellow. The fabric is actually a linen mix so it is very light and easy to wear and allows the fabric to breathe even if you wear it in a hot climate. It is classic Missoni and very sexy! Excellent condition.

I love the richness of the pink tones mixed with the gold threading on this Adele Simpson dress. The pink and gold on the chiffon give it a pretty feminine feel. The gold thread also gives it a slightly exotic feel as well as extra texture and visual interest. The neck is simple with a V Neck cut and the skirt is full but not overly. The skirt has an interesting pleating technique that starts just under the hips to you get a sense of flow and volume without adding bulk to the hip. Its is a good wearable size too and still retains its original belt that allows you to cinch in the waist as much as you need! It is a beautiful, dramatic piece and in excellent condition

Many high end hotels during the sixties and early seventies had their own in-house lines and produced customs pieces for their ritzy clients. This is from Italy and is just that! It is absolutely amazing and truly a stunner. The outside caftan is gathered across the shoulders and then swoops to the ground with an almost twenties cocoon silhouette feel. It hooks at the neck and the expanse of fabric allows the gorgeous grapes and vine design be showcased beautifully.

The dress is a sheath of bias cut light weight Italian jersey and has pretty rolled pleat detailing around the neck. It is very chic and very sexy. The original belt can be used on either piece. The dress zips to close with a painted metal zipper. Both pieces are unlined. The hem on both pieces has some faint marks from storage as it was hung by the owner and they touched the ground for many years but it is so long it can easily be hemmed a touch if that bothers you. Otherwise it looks to have never been worn.

Great and versatile two piece set by Bessi with the original belt. Made of a sift pastel green shot through with soft blues on a silk jersey. The Bessi label is a Pucci contemporary and you can fee that influence! I love the pretty contrasting design at the neck and cuffs and the fabric allows it to drape and move fabulously!

Like it stepped out of a time capsule comes this amazing and very rare Hermes coat from the late 1950s, early 1960s. I don't think you can possibly find a more classic coat them this Macintosh design and it is as chic now as the day it was made. Hand carved horn buttons and fully lined it would have been made by hand for the client who purchased it. the underside of the fabric is waterproofed. No flaws and looks to have never been worn.

Fabulous early 1960s silk chiffon printed Emilio Pucci tunic and pant set that is a good slightly larger size then what you normally come across! I also love that it is silk chiffon - it gives it a lighter and airier feel then the silk jerseys he used later. The pants are flat fronted and zip to close at the back with a painted metal zipper. The tunic sips along one side seam ad has a wide boat neck. Both pieces are lined with white silk chiffon except for the tunic sleeves. These are left as a single layer of light silk and are cut to billow slightly above each buttoned cuff.

Note that this is not perfect and has some small flaws. The most noticeable is a small spot on the front about the size of a nickel (pictured) if you can live with that everything else is miniscule. There are a few other small faint areas here and there on the tunic and one near the back cuff of the pant. One small hole on the back leg of the pant. Lots of life and dramatically reduced in price. Presents well.

Absolutely gorgeous early 1960s silk chiffon printed Emilio Pucci tunic and pant set that is in the most coveted of all the Pucci colors - PINKS!! Made of a pretty silk chiffon that gives it a lighter and airier feel then the silk jerseys he used later. The pants are flat fronted and zip to close at the side with a painted metal zipper. The tunic just slips on and is cut almost cape style with built in arm cuffs. This allows it to drape perfectly and feel very unique and chic. Both pieces are lined with white silk chiffon.

Fabulous and chic print dress by Bessi. Made of a stunning combination of navy and a cornflower blue screened onto a white silk jersey.

This is a classic YSL silhouette created with a top and skirt in similar but slightly contrasting printed. The top is constructed form a fine challis and is kept simple and chic. A single pocket on one side. neat collar and buttoned cuffs. The skirt is a take on the classic wrapped and pleated school girl and is also made of a fine challis. Love the muted tones and contrasting plaids. Versatile and wonderful! No flaws.

Love this Stavropoulos done in a bias cut silk chiffon that is fused with bits of both a white chenille and a gold lame eyelash fringe. This makes the dress incredibly tactile and soft. The bias cut allows for maximum drape and it just settles into place once on. The neckline is scooped and the sleeves long. It zips to close at the back and each sleeve has a single button. The skirt skins over the hip and then explodes in a swinging fullness that is very dramatic on a real girl! Fully lined in a bias cut satin finish rayon. No flaws.

I love Mac Tac. They used a great synthetic jersey that really was one of the best to the time for all their pieces. It just drapes perfectly and it very easy to care for - you can literally wash and wear. This makes them great vacation pieces! This set is done in a very pale pink with a pretty floral pattern in deeper hues of pink with light yellow accents worked in. It is versatile since it is a skirt and top. The top is cut very loose and easy so it creates a draped, almost caped effect. The skirt has miles of fabric and is supermodel length. An elastic waist makes it easy to fit and wear. I have shown it with the skirt un-tucked and tied with the fabric belt but you can of course wear it tucked for more shape. Excellent condition.

This set is utterly fabulous! A bright mod print is done in shades of corals and pinks with pops of raspberries on this stunning silk jersey and silk chiffon set. The La Mendola label is highly collectible and sought after - when the duo behind the label where designing in Rome it was girls like Elizabeth Taylor and Rita Hayworth that were buying! The Italian shop closed in 1974 so this would date prior to that.

The base piece is a stretch silk jersey jumpsuit that has wide legs and a simple cut. Over this is a silk chiffon tabard overlay made of a custom screened matching fabric. It is cut almost apron like with an opening down each side and it just snaps into place along the top of one shoulder and under the arm. Incredibly this st also has its original huge silk shawl or wrap that is light enough to use as a sash as shown. It also has a matching silk chiffon turban! No label but the fabric is signed through out.It is an amazing piece and in excellent condition with no flaws to note.

Hand painted silk satin was used on this comfortable and easy to wear Yves Saint Laurent set. It is a bright pop of color and fabulous fabric! The pants are side zippered and very full through the hip with hidden side pockets. The taper slightly as they near the cuff. Very comfortable to wear and almost PJ style. The jacket is equally as comfortable. It is a to the hip slip on with no closures at the front. You can layer it over other pieces or wrap and belt it. Appears to have never been worn.

This is an absolutely beautiful and feminine Bessi maxi dress! You can easily see her days at Pucci strongly influencing the design. The palette is soft and whimsical with pale mint mixed with soft pinks and tangerines, all mixed together masterfully. I love the contrasting border that defines and anchors the cut of the dress and highlights the front plunge. Made of a mix of silks, the bodice is a silk jersey so is easy to wear and feels fabulous on. The skirt is a silk chiffon in a matching print over a solid cream colored interior skirt. It is a nice slightly larger size and I did not pin it on the mannequin so you can see how it will fit on a smaller frame as well. Picked as a favorite by our guest editor for June, uber blogger Anita Clarke of the I Want, I Got blog who says she would wear this endlessly through the warmer months! This is truly a fabulous gown and in excellent condition!

This is a classic YSL silhouette done in one of the most beautiful blues he ever produced! The neck can be left open as shown or closed with a single button to leave a keyhole. The tie/sash that comes with it can be worn around the neck and the dress left full or used to create shape at the waist as I have done. The sleeves are tremendously full above a wide buttoned cuff. The upper shoulders are lined and the rest left unlined. The closer you get the more you realize how brilliant the print really is and how fine the challis fabric is! No flaws.

Thierry Mugler was all about sex and mixing this in with "power dressing". This little outfit sums that up just perfectly! The dress is a strong shouldered wrap dress in a pale khaki. It walks that line between utilitarian and vixen. Under it he had done a sculpted "bra" top that is deliberately shaped along the line of a 1950s style. Love the way the skirt is curved so you get a flash of leg! The metal buckled belt cinches in the waist even more and you get the distinct feeling that once that belt comes off its no holds bar! Incredible and in excellent condition.

I particularly like this Malcolm Starr dress. It has such and exotic feel to it and is so different from the usual pieces you see. I really think it is outstanding! Made of a fine crisp, almost coated or polished feel cotton that is very very light weight. I love the soft muted colors and then mixing of the various hues - it is just done so perfectly! The skirt is long and cut on an A-line with hidden pockets on each hip. The waist can be cinched in with the original tie belt. The entire top portion is attached at the shoulders but is actually like a little bolero as the dress continues up and under it. Very unusual construction. It zips down the front so you can show some skin at the neck if you wish! Excellent condition.

This is all eighties and for the right girl will be a strong and amazing statement gown! The skirt on this is absolutely breathtaking and is why my eye gravitated to it. It is amazingly full with yards and yards of silk chiffon over a silk interior. Onto the chiffon of the skirt is a design using the same silver panne velvet so it shimmers as you move! The top has that strong eighties shape with string shoulder s and a plunging draped back. Lots of great finishing touches as one would expect from a Valentino gown. It was a tad to big on my mannequin so will sit better on a girl that matches its size.

This is amazing! The "wet or leather look" was what the bad ass rock girls where wearing during this time period and this is one of the best examples I have ever see. The fabric looks like slick glossy ink poured over the body and clings to every curve leaving little to the imagination. Skinny long sleeves with dramatic cuffs and a long A-line skirt. The exaggerated and pointed collar is killer! No flaws and looks unworn.

What a stunning textile! This Kiki Hart gown is constructed from a spectacular pink and gold silk brocade. The bright, hot pink is the perfect contrast to the gold and metallic thread brocade. Onto that are scattering of beautiful rhinestones that give it a subtle glint in the light. The dress zips at the back and is cut in a simple floor length sheath. I love the hidden pockets along the front!

It is such a rare thing to find early Andre Laug examples. The Vogues and Harper's of the late 60s and 70s showcase them in almost every issue but for some dd reason example pre-80s rarely are found! This set is just spectacular! The gypsy style top is a silk satin that slips on and has a tie at the neck. The skirt is a soft Indian cotton and fall, supermodel length tot eh floor. It is incredibly full but the lightness of the fabric keeps it form being bulky. The skirt closes with a side zip and the original sash is present. The best part - that sash is wide and long enough to wear turban style if you wish! No flaws and wonderful!

Mac Tac is right up there with Leonard in my books in terms of print and quality. Ironically this label was produced by a parent company called Leonard Sunshine!

Love this panne velvet early Alley Cat wrap dress by Betsy Johnson. It actually wraps and closes at the back and then ties at the front - a clever little twist on a classic design. This also allows a deep and sexy plunge on the front and the back. The belt is attached and has a pretty contrasting print that gives a nice visual pop against the rest of the print.

Mac Tac is right up there with Leonard in my books in terms of print and quality. Ironically this label was produced by a parent company called Leonard Sunshine! This and its twin I am listing this week as well are made of a fabulous quality synthetic jersey that drapes and moves wonderfully. Supermodel length and slips on to wear. I love the caped back that tops the ling a flowing skirt. The front plunges quite deep. Sexy! No flaws.

Iconic! The vibrant cherry print on a vivid lime green nylon jersey says it all! A print that Betsy revisited throughout her career is perhaps shown here for the first time! The cut is simple and it slips on to wear. We even spotted Betsy Johnson wearing this exact dress herself on her new reality show!

The twin of this stunning blue crushed velvet maxi dress by Oscar de la Renta is held in the Goldstein Museum of Design (the last photo is their collection archive photo) and they have this dated as being from the 1960-1965 period. Simple lines are offset by the vibrant color and that amazing belt. The belt is edged in ribbon and has huge jewels heat fused and set amongst curved silver braiding. The dress is then edged with red cording ribbon at the neck and used to accent the pockets.The overall effect is startling with that red and blue combination and the crushed velvet give it an interesting texture. Excellent condiiton

Amazing silver metallic very fine light fabric that drapes wonderfully. The entire top portion of the dress is cut on an exaggerated line with huge billowing sleeves set in at the waist line and a squared off neckline. I love that it is actually semi-transparent from the sleeves right to the front panel on the bodice so that just the front is fully covered. Very subtly sexy. The skirt is full and lined. It drapes dramatically to the floor from a high empire waist. The whole dress has a very Medieval Maid Marion feel to it and is in line with that wonderful Janice Wainwright vibe that collectors look for. Presents as a slightly deeper hued silver then photoed. Excellent condition

Lined through the skirt and inner bodice panels. Closes with a back nylon and metal zipper with snaps on each cuffs.

This is an amazing Courreges dress that looks like it could have stepped out of a time capsule. It is a true white and has absolutely no discoloration. A tiny bikini halter top with crossed straps tops a long skirt. I love the ribbing that defines the waist and hem.

The top portion of this lovely dress features iridescent sequins that are hand applied and gradually change from cream to blue as they near the waistline. The halter top crosses at the front and dips to the waist at the back. Silk cinches in the waist and the skirt is cut narrow, A bow at the back is the prefect finish. It closes with a low back zipper and is fully lined with an interior bustier. Hand finished with very minor sequin loss. Two dots of water marks on the waist band. A stunner!

Iconic mini dress by Azzedine Alaia. His forte is the ability to cut garments that cling like a second skin and yet somehow manage to nip and tuck and add curves in all the right places. This is the classic, extremely sexy, bandage dress with insets of a contrasting ribbed knit. The insets are set in a way that makes the dress look like a corset or garter - it highlights every curve. The bust is cut very low and I love the three strap detailing that goes over each shoulder. The back is low and the hem is high.

Unlined and slips on to wear. Tagged a vintage Alaia XS. The bust sits low but you could easily adjust the straps for a perfect fit

Amazing and rare completely backless Donald Brooks jersey gown in a deep olive that borders on brown. It has such a Grecian Goddess feel to it with its high gathered neck and flowing skirts.

A stunning, fine silk brocade gown with shots of gold worked through the floral pattern. This gives it a subtle shimmer that when set against the pink is just beautiful to see. The bodice is shaped and has light boning. Silk lined and with a beautiful skirt that flows to the floor in a regal column. Present as more pink and the fabric is a good quality and not bulky or thick! I would not be at all surprised to find out that this is a high end designer piece! Hand finishes.

Love this blue and gold Mollie Parnis gown. Made of a silk chiffon that is shot through with gold threading. The collar, waist and cuffs are all edges in a fringed gold braid. The sleeves are left unlined so you get a touch of sheerness and the overlay to the skirt gives it a beautiful breeziness and light feel. A beautiful color combination mixed with classic lines!

Between the color and the amazing fabric and those huge balloon sleeves this is just a knock out of a dress! Slightly more subtle in pattern the overall effect still has that fabulous print feel.
