• The twin of this gorgeous dress walked the runway for the Spring 2009 collection and was Look 31 in the show.
• It was made under the creative direction of Alessandra Facchinetti
• This was easily the best look of the show and I love the use of the famous Valentino red. 
• Tang Wei wore one that year and that, along with the runway video, lets you see just how beautifully this one is on the body and how it moves. 
• The dress is made out of a red silk chiffon that is cut on the bias and flows over the body beautifully. The fabric choice keeps the dress very light in weight and gives it beautiful movement. 
• The entire top portion of the dress is gathered and curves up and over one shoulder. The bodice is gathered on an angle underneath that and the gathers continues all the way around you to the back. It comes in at the waist and then the gathering continues to curve back down and over the top of the hip on one side. The gathering and draping over the body feels very Grecian inspired.
• The skirt falls from under there and it is draped heavier on the side where the silk angles upwards. This creates more of a draped panel down one side. The skirt has three full layers of chiffon under the top layer and the draped to side curves upwards with a slit. So when you move a certain way you see a bit of a flash of bare leg. The skirt has yards and yards of self chiffon in its construction and I love how the hem is curved to pick up on the angle of the bodice.
  
• The dress is fully lined in a red silk chiffon through the bodice and has light boning at the sides. The skirt is made of three layers of chiffon under the top layer and these act as the lining. The dress closes with a hidden set side zipper.

• The twin of this dress walked the runway for Fall 2004 and it is a very famous Valentino dress. 
• It was made under the creative direction of the original Mr. Valentino
• Pierpaolo later remade this dress as an homage that was almost identical. I have had that dress as well and there are key differences. This is the original version.
• The dress is strapless and made out of a red silk in the signature Valentino red.
• The dress is made out of long set, vertical panels that run from the top of the bodice all the way to the hem. At the front the silk is gathered into both sides of the middle panel. The dress is shaped around the body by manipulating the width of the panels.
• One of the key signatures of this dress are the two large silk flowers that sit on either side of the hip. On the original dress these actually top pockets that you can slip your hands into. The pockets on this dress have their original tacking in place.
• As the dress falls over the body and near the skirt panels wide. There are also triangle shaped silk panels added in around the back of the skirt. This is what allows the skirt to flare out and move so dramatically when you walk.
• The dress is fully lined in a red silk with an inner built-in lightly boned corset piece that zips on its own. The dress zips to close over that with a hidden set zipper that follows one of the seams. I see some minor stress to the fabric on either side of the zipper and couple light dots on the front panel. Please see the photos after the label shot.
• There is no size tag present. The dress is very tiny and there is no give to the measurements. It would be very difficult to let this one out as the marks would show on the fabric.
• Excellent overall condition

• This is the second time we have had this dress in the shop. This one is smaller than the first and if you missed out this is your chance.
• It was made under the creative direction of Donatella Versace.
• The dress is made out of a red silk mix that has a crepe like finish to it that gives it a slightly textured finish.
• It falls from a twisted shoulder that curves up and over on one side. On the other side there is a thin strap that runs over the shoulder, crosses down the back, and then snaps into place along the side.
• Inside there is a full cupped and boned inner body suit corset to hold the dress in place and shape it over you.
• A panel extends out from one side of the waist and loops through a built-in loop to snap into place. This gives the illusion of a panel that drapes down the full front but it is actually all built-in and attached. It is a very clever design.
• Multiple strands of silver tone chains and rhinestones extend out from where that loops sits. They cross & drape over each other to wrap around the waist and down the hip and then attach in along the back.
• Under that the skirt skims over the hips and then flares out from there to the floor. The skirt is very full by the time it reaches the hem.
• All of that fabric that falls from the loop at the waist conceals an extremely high slit up one side so when you walk or move you get a flash of bare leg. It is very sexy. The side with the slit is cut slightly shorter and this gives you a beautiful sweeping effect around you as you move.
• Inside there is a full built-in bodysuit that snaps to close at its base and then the dress closes with a hidden side zipper. I see a bit of grubbiness here and there near the hem.

• The twin of this dress was shown as Look 7 for the Fall 2024 atelier collection
• It was made under the creative direction of Prabal Gurung
• He told Vogue that "We've always had a small private client business". He had soft-launched his Aterlier collection the previous year to bring more clients pieces that are focused around specific occasions and more traditional silhouettes. The Fall 2024 collection was the first publicly shown Atelier collection from Prabal. 
• This is an absolutely beautiful dress that showcases his love of a more traditional silhouette. Even though it is a modern piece it has that perfect feel of the 1950s Hollywood Golden Era in its silhouette.
• The dress is made out of a pale nude net that has a touch of pink to it. Little black chenille dots are fused onto the fabric for the perfect little detailing.
• The bodice is strapless and I love the soft curve to the top edge. Inside there is a boned and cupped built in corset to hold you perfectly in place. It is fitted and the waist comes in and then curves back out slightly.
• The skirt is phenomenal. There is a little peplum of the tulle with netting underneath that sits just under at the waist and then it falls in two more tiers to the floor. The middle tier has a a double layer of tulle under it and then there are more built-in layers under the entire skirt.The innermost layer is a more stiffened net that has bands of stiffening placed horizontally around the hem and through the body of the skirt to hold its volume. I did not add any crinolines under the dress. All the volume you see is because of the built-in construction.
• The back of the skirt trails out slightly behind you and is cut longer than the front.
• The fabric used is still very light so even with the intricate construction of the dress is still feels light and comfortable to wear.
• I love the little bow that falls down one hip. And I love that this is added with a little brooch pin so that if you choose to not wear it you can take it off completely or you can move it to where it suits you best.
• The dress is fully lined in netting as described above with a full built-in corset that is boned and cupped. A waist stay inside hooks to close. The corset closes with its own zipper and then the dress zippers to close over that with a hidden set zipper. The dress appears to have never been worn.

• This is an original Gianni Versace label piece most likely from the late 1990s 
  
• This would have been made under the creative direction of Gianni Versace.
• The dress is made out of a knit that has a gold Lurex thread running through it so that it has a fantastic metallic feel but still soft and easy to wear.
• The knit has a pretty chain stitch that gives it added texture combined with the gold metallic thread.
• The front neckline edge is ribbed and the straps curve up and over to meet the side of the back. The dress comes with its original laces that you can slip through little slit openings down the sides of the back to have the entire back have a laced up effect. You can also wear it without the laces for a completely open and bare back. The very low edge of the back and the hem are also finished with that same ribbing effect as the front edging. 
• One side of the dress is slit from the hem up and and you can lace that up as well or you can wear it without the laces. 
• The dress slips on to wear and is unlined. The knit has stretch and I have given the range of measurements below. The length may come up a touch once on depending on how it sits on you.

• The twin of this dress that was shown over a nude stretch top walked the runway for Look 80 Fall 2016 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli.
• It was also featured in an editorial that season.
• The dress is incredibly beautiful and it would make an amazing wedding dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. And of course it could also be worn to any event.
• The entire dress is made from a pale nude tulle netting that has just a hint of a pink undertone to it. It is lined in a matching silk so that is so opaque enough to wear.
• Scattered over the tulle of the entire dress are little combination of a silver sequin with a little clear bead topping the sequin. These catch the light from every angle and make the entire dress glitter in a pretty and subtle way.
• The dress is suspended from tiny net straps that curve up and over each shoulder. The front scoops across and the the upper back is bare.
• He has attached a panel of the netting all the way around the neck line and as it curves towards the back, it gets wider so it drapes down the sides and just passed the waist at the back. It is such a pretty detail.
• The waist curves inwards and the skirt is cut to flare outwards from there. It is very wide and full by the time it reaches the hem. Under the top layer, there are three more layers of netting in the middle of the three layers has a double hem that helps hold the volume even more. Inside all of that is the opaque silk layer. The fabric choice combined with the built-in under skirting helps to give the skirt its structure to keep the volume and shape that you see.

• This skirt is a production piece for the shops from the Spring 2019 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli.
• On the runway a dress shown for Look 60 had similar a beaded design over its surface. We have added that runway reference for you here.
• Vogue succinctly said that "In a season when there’s been so much talk about the appreciation of couture dressmaking and craft skills, Piccioli just took it to the ultimate. It was as accomplished, as complexly cut—and as simple as that."
• The high level of craft put into a hand embroidered and beaded piece like this is evident in the price tag. The original cost of the skirt was £12,285.
• The skirt is outstanding and is beautiful to see in person. There is an inner silk skirt that snaps into place around the inner band of the waist. I love that this gives you the choice to wear the skirt fully opaque, or you can snap the lining out and have the skirt be more transparent.
• Over the inner lining is a layer of black netting and then the top layer combines tulle with insets of a light grey and deep dusty blue grey silk chiffon. Silver metallic thread and tiny silver beads run in swirling designs over the entire skirt. And if you look carefully, you see that there is one unexpected little pink pop of silk chiffon. I love that unexpected detail.
• The waist is banded with a black grosgrain that folds inwards. The inner skirt snaps onto that band so that the snaps are hidden from view.
• The skirt falls from there and has quite a bit of room through the hips so it is an easy fit. It widens out as it nears the hem. There is quite a lot of fabric in the skirt and it moves beautifully around you when you move. 
• The black silk lining snaps into place as described above and both the lining and outer skirt have a zipper at the side. Without the lining snapped in the skirt has a touch of transparency. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

• The twin of this skirt walked the runway for the Fall 2019 season for Look 36.
• It was made under the creative direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri
• Vogue's Sally Singer noted that; "Chiuri sought inspiration for this collection from Britain’s postwar Teddy Girls, those working-class, rock ’n’ roll–loving beehived vixens who hit the clubs in a mix of men’s Edwardian jackets, full skirts, blue jeans, leather, velvet, and eyeliner galore. She was struck by the similarity in silhouette and the optimistic excess that characterized Christian Dior’s designs of the same period. She was also moved by Yves Saint Laurent’s addition to the Dior pantheon of a men’s black leather jacket for women in the late 1950s. So, heritage, hipsters, and herstory."
• This skirt is one of the ones that felt most like a heritage piece from that show while still having a modern flare.
• The skirt is made out of a black silk net and the fabric choice is what allows it to hold its fullness.
• Onto the tulle is an extensive pattern created from hand applied beads and sequins. A thin band at the waist cinches it in and then the skirt is full under that. It will fall to about mid-calf to the ankle depending on your height.
• At the front the skirt is fully split and open from just under the band at the waist to the hem. It wraps over itself a touch at the split and there is a little flat bow at the waist for added detail.
• This open split lets you can layer it over just about anything. You can take a simplest little dress or plain skirt that you already have, pop this over it, and all of a sudden you have an amazing and elaborate look.
• The entire skirt has been appliqued with little floral sprigs that are made of hand set metal coils, tiny seed beads, sequins and MOP finished paillettes. All of the work appears to have been done by hand.
• It is made out of two layers of the black netting and meant to have a slight transparency. It closes with snap and hook an eye at the waist and is open down the front. It looks to have never been worn or worn very little. It is a very little special piece that has a huge array of styling options.
• There is no size tag present so please go by the listed measurements below.

• The twin of this skirt was shown as part of Look 93 for the Pre-Fall 2015 presentation.
• It was made under the creative direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli. 
• This was an interesting collection because they collaborated with both British textile designer Celia Birtwell, the ex-wife of the late Ossie Clark and the woman behind his floral prints in the 1970s, and the Italian Pop Artist Giosetta Fioroni. Many of the pieces, like this skirt, were embroidered with stars, planets and swirling constellations.
• Marion Cotillard wore the full look that season and Phoebe Fox also wore the twin of this skirt. 
• The skirt is beautiful to see in person. The base has an inner layer of blue netting topped by a black layer of netting. Over that is a layer of a more open weave black net. That top layer is covered with embroidered stars, planets and word appliques. The result is a beautiful and everywhere you look there is something to see.
• The waist is banded with grosgrain that folds inwards with all the fabric of the skirt gathered on the outside for a slight ruffle feel at the top of the waist.
• It falls from there and has quite a bit of room so is an easy fit. It widens out as it nears the hem. There is quite a lot of fabric in the skirt and it moves beautifully around you when you move. 
• The inner layers of tulle act as the lining and it has a hidden set zipper at the side. The skirt has a touch of transparency but the layers and applique make it wearable. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

• This dress is a production piece for the shops from the Spring 2008 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Alexander McQueen.
• The dress is made from a red bias cut silk and you can see the inspiration that the cut and fabric draws from the thirties and forties in its cut. 
  
• Wide straps curve over the shoulders and extend down into a deep front plunge. The silk is gathered into a centre knot at the base of the plunge. Because of the way the dress is cut and the weight of the knot at the base it feels very safe to wear and the plunge stays in place.
• Cascading down from the knot is a panel of the same silk. It runs down the centre of the dress all the way to the hem. It creates that beautiful draping you see and also gives the skirt incredible movement. 
  
• The dress is fully lined in a red silk and closes with a hidden set side zipper. It is in its original length. There is some minor grubbiness at the hem but otherwise appears to have been worn very little. The bias cut should allow it to work on a range of sizes. I have put the comfortable range of measurements below when laying flat.

• The twin of the dress was shown for the Pre-fall 2010 Valentino collection.
• It was made under the creative design of both Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli. 
• This is one of their earlier collections after stepping into Mr Valentino's shoes and I love that they stayed true to the label's heritage by using a classic Valentino red for this dress.
• The dress is made from a red silk that has a slight sheen to it and is in the signature shade of red that Valentino is so well known for. The fabric choice keeps the dress light in weight while still holding that beautiful shape that you see.
• A vertically gathered panel curves up and over one shoulder and then the bodice is gathered horizontally across you. It is cut on a slight angle across the edge at the top and the side without the shoulder curves in at the waist and over the top of the hip. The other side is gathered on an angle into the side. This all creates the illusion of a smaller waist.
• The skirt wraps over itself and this creates a draping panel down one side. It is open underneath so if you move a certain way, you do see a flash of bare leg.
• The skirt gradually widens out as it nears the hem and the open panel on the one side allows the fabric of the skirt to have movement when you walk.
• It is fully lined in a red silk through the bodice and has light boning. The skirt is lined in a red silk chiffon. The dress closes with a hidden set side zipper.
• There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below.

• This dress is from the Cruise 2011 collection and a dress with a similar front design was shown on the runway for Look 26 in the show.
• It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano
• The show was shown in Shanghai that season and Galliano said at the time that he was trying to "capture the feeling of Paris in its heyday".
• The dress is made from a muted red silk chiffon that has a little bit of texture to it. 
• Wide straps curve up and around the neck and the back scoops down to leave your upper back bare and exposed. At the front the neckline plunges into a V.
• The silk is gathered vertically on both side sides at the front. All of the gatherings are held in place by little horizontal ruffles done in a matching silk. I love how the pleat work narrows down to a point at the waist, adding to the illusion of both length and a more cinched in waistline. 
• The skirt is gathered up and into the sides of the point. It skims over the hips and then widens out as it nears the floor. By the time it reaches the hem there is a lot of fabric and this gives you fantastic movement as you move. This was a silhouette that Galliano loved.
• A high slit runs up from the hem on the top layer of the skirt only. This lets that top chiffon layer catch the air and add even more movement as you walk. 
• The dress is fully lined in a red silk. It closes with row of matching silk covered buttons and loops that are tightly spaced down one side. These hide a hidden set zipper underneath.

• This is original dress from the 1950s that is completely made by hand.
• It is an absolutely incredible example of the high level of hand work being done during that time period and you would be hard pressed to find anything modern done to this degree outside of true Couture pieces.
• The dress has hundreds of thousands of sequins and beads hand applied over every inch of its surface. The sequins are incredibly dense in the way that they have been applied. They are set so that they overlap each other to the point where they stand up and off the dress slightly. The black sequins were done in a swirling burst design and this lets it catch the light differently and creates the most amazing effect.
• Added to that is a floral design in pale pink, gold and greens that is also done in sequins. This wraps around the bodice and then runs down the entire skirt of the dress with the density of the design getting heavier as it near the hem.
• Added over that are coloured over-sized faceted beads have been applied by hand to add an extra bit of detail and sparkle to the dress. They are all jewel tones mixed with gold and copper and it is just incredible to see.
• The dress does have weight to it but it is perfectly balanced once it is on the body. 
• It has straps but can also be worn strapless. Inside there is a full built-in boned and cupped corset that holds the dress in place and adds shape. The waist is brought in by this corset and then the dress skims over the hips. As it falls to the floor it narrows down. There is an overlapping curved slit at the back that allows you to be able to walk in it.
• The dress is fully lined in a black silky rayon. The dress has an inner corset that hooks into place with a double row of metal lingerie hooks. The inner corset is boned and cupped. It is lightly tacked into the dress. I see some slight minor wear on the inside of the corset here and there. The dress zips to close over that. It is completely made by hand. My favourite detail is a handwritten tag with the name Edith that sits inside the hem. This is almost certainly the name of the burlesque dancer or showgirl dancer that would have worn the dress.

• This beautiful dress is from the Spring 2018 collection and it was made on a limited production.
• The dress was made under the creative direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli.
• Its twin was worn by Imogen Poots and also by a guest at the Couture collection that season. We have included reference photos for you to see how gorgeous this is once on the body.
• The dress is made out of a black tulle that sits over an inner black silk chiffon base. The netting has gold metallic embroidered thread applied in long stripes over the dress. Hand Zone onto the gold thread are tiny little sequins in a rainbow of colours. This creates an incredible subtle burst of colour across the entire dress.
• The netting on the bodice crosses over itself at both the back and front to create that pretty neckline that sits wide across to the shoulders.
• The little cap sleeves are very full with elastic and a ruffle at their ends. You can see in the reference photos that the sleeves can be worn on or off the shoulders and it dramatically changes the look of the dress. I love this extra versatility that this gives the dress.
• The skirt is very full and explodes outwards from the waist. All of the volume you see is created by multiple layers of netting and silk stacked over each other in layers. I have not added any extra crinolines underneath for the shots.
• Pretty velvet ties fall from each shoulder and they are set in a bow at the top of the shoulder for the perfect dreamy finish.
• The dress is fully lined in black silk and closes with a hidden set side zipper. It appears to have never been worn.

• This is a superb Christian Dior dress made under the creative direction of Marc Bohan
• It is a wonderful example of the work being done during this time period and shows how well the label could be when it delved into a more minimal cut combined with that full out glamour.
• The dress has classic feel of the best of Old Hollywood and the closer you get to it the more you see the incredible and elaborate amount of detail that has been put into this fabric.
• The dress is made from a black silk net with a floral pattern worked through the lace. The flowers are edged in black silk cord and then it is beaded with an elaborate beading that follows the pattern
• The top beaded layer sits over a black silk chiffon layer. Under those is a nude silk chiffon inner layer that is backed in a black silk. Adding that nude layer gives the dress a bit of an illusion of wearing nothing underneath.
• The dress is suspended from two beaded straps that curve over each shoulder. The front neckline dips into a slight V and the back is a simple scoop.
• It is cut to skim over the body from bust to hips with no seaming to break the eye or the design created by the bead work. The shape of the dress is created by vertical seaming on the inner layers and then the top layer is shaped to follow. The skirt widens out a touch as it nears the hem.
• The lace netting is covered with an elaborate design made of glossy black beads in various sized along with black sequins. The design is heavier around the top the bodice, lightens in coverage as it goes over the hips and then becomes dense and heavy again at the hem.
• The sequins have been applied so that they are stacked and layered over each other to give a slight 3D feel.
• Small faceted beads follow other parts of the pattern and these are the same beads that are used to cover the straps. Tiny little seed beads are thrown into the mix and then there are square pailettes and oval faceted beads on a much larger scale to really create impact.
• The beads are all applied by hand and catch the light from every angle.
• The label on the dress is numbered and when you see that in a Dior Boutique label it most often meant that the piece was a special order or was a custom made order for a client in the atelier but fitted at the boutique store rather then in Paris.
• Fully lined as per the description above. It closes with a hidden set side zipper. Numbered tag. Perhaps the occasional bead missing but you would never tell because of the extent of the pattern. The slight bias cut will allow for a bit of movement in the measurements.
• There is no size tag so I have put the comfortable range of measurements below
• Excellent condition.

• The twin of this set walked the runway for the Fall 2007 show for Look 43. He repeated the same design through the upper bodice for Look 18 and we have included a photo of that look here for reference.
• It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano
• In the book 'Dior Catwalk' they note that the Collection "managed to translate the intricate Japanese inspired references and techniques of Galliano's previous Haute Couture show for ready-to-wear, from origami folding and gravity defying pleats to elegant draping, tiered skirts, striking headpieces and bright colors." Women's Wear Daily hailed the collection as "a brilliant blockbuster, a glorious celebration of the grand and glamorous."
• Once worn together, you get the feel of a full length dress, but it is a two piece set with its original belt included. Both pieces are made out of a dusky purple hammered silk that has incredible drape.
• The top slips on and zips to close at the back. The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are cut long and on a curve to follow the shape of the arm. Each sleeve is cut a little longer than a normal sleeve so that when they are on the body they bunch up along your arm just slightly. This was a Galliano signature. There are no traditional armhole seams. Instead, they just curve outward from the body of the top and there are gusseted seams underneath. These are all extra steps that you rarely see anymore in the construction of arm holes and sleeves.
• The neckline comes in a shallow V and then all of the silk is gathered up and into the intricate fold at the front and this is where you see the references outlined in the book quote above. 
• The set comes with its original hand dyed snakeskin belt that you use to cinch in the waist. It is meant to sit over the top of that incredible front fold to create the look that he showed on the runway. The buckle of the belt is finished in deep purple rhinestones.
• The skirt that goes under the top is equally as incredible. It skims over the hips and there is an extra panel of fabric that puddles and drapes down one side from just below the hip and runs all the way to the floor. Under that panel is an incredibly high slit that goes all the way up to the top of the thigh. The skirt flares out as it nears the floor and the hem has a touch of an asymmetrical feel to it with the side with the panel falling longer past the hem than where it starts on the inside portion of the slit.
• On the runway you can see the high slit as the model moves and this skirt has that same detail.
• This is an exceptionally rare set especially since it comes with its original belt.
• The top slips on with a hidden set short zipper at the back of the neck. The belt has a rhinestone encrusted buckle and the skirt closes with a side hidden set zipper. There is a teeny bit of lift on the edges and wear marks on the belt that are minor and if I hold the skirt up to the light I see a tiny bit of stress marks under the waist seam of the skirt but it does not show at all otherwise. I am being very picky. Both pieces otherwise appear to have been worn very little if at all.
• Both pieces are tagged a vintage Dior FR40, GB12, IT44, US8

• The twin of this dress walked the Chanel 2010 Cruise runway for Look 33 with a jacket over it (that was sold separately in the shops).
• It was made under the creative direction of Karl Lagerfeld
• The show was set on the boardwalk of the Venice Lido at dusk. "Coco at Lido" is how Karl Lagerfeld described this cruise collection. Vogue described the scene as Karl "reinstating the long-lost leisurely sensation of a fashion show as an exceptional one-off experience. The 350 guests reclining on sun beds in the famous white tented cabanas certainly felt privileged to be witnessing the extreme glamour of the designer's learned-but-light invocation of an important part of Coco Chanel's biography." The location was "one of Coco Chanel's favourite summer haunts—she visited Venice for almost ten years beginning in 1919 and met Diaghilev here".
• The inspiration was the twenties and thirties and you can see that in the lines of this dress.
• The dress is made out of a feather light ultra fine silk mesh netting. The fabric is notoriously difficult to work with and yet it all falls into place perfectly once on the body. 
• The netting is covered in a beautiful floral print in dusky pastels done in a way that makes then look like they have been hand painted directly onto the fabric. The base colour is a deep blue-purple and the colour combination of everything together is stunning.
• It is sleeveless and the very upper portion of the bodice is a single layer of the silk so that it has a touch of transparency. It becomes a double layer under that and this skims over the bodice and down to the waist. An attached panel of the same fabric goes around your waist and hooks into place at the back for added shape.
• The dress falls from there in a swoop of that feather light silk netting to the hem that widens out as it near the floor. The back feels slightly fuller than the front so you get this pretty billowing effect around you when you walk. This is a signature Karl silhouette to give the dress as much movement as possible and you can see that in the reference photos here.
• The skirt of the dress is constructed from a single layer of the printed silk and then it has a solid deep blue silk layer underneath.
• The famous double C logo is worked throughout the print of the dress making it impossible to not know that you are wearing Chanel. 
• The dress is lined with the same fabric through the bodice and then a layer of a deep blue silk as described above acts as the lining through the skirt. It closes at the back with hidden set zipper and has a hook and eye at the back of the neck with a keyhole between the two. The dress appears to have been worn very little if at all.

• The twin of this dress walk the runway for the Fall 2001 collection and both this purple and a black version were shown on the runway.
• The dress was made under the creative direction of Thierry Mugler.
• Mugler was a masterpiece of draping and cut and this is a fantastic example of that. It is cut with Mugler's masterful eye and attention to detail.
• The dress is extremely difficult to show on a dress form because of the cut through the upper body and arms so please refer to the runway photos for reference. It is spectacular on the body.
• The dress is made out of a purple silk crepe mix that has a slight texture to it. 
• A high collar wraps around the neck and the collar is detailed with a silver metal mesh. Onto the mesh are various sized rhinestones set in silver bases. All of them are stitched on one top spot only so they have this incredible little bit of movement.
• A long keyhole at the front open in a V all the way to an empire set seam at the waist. At the back there is an open slit down to the waist seam so you get a flash of skin there as well.
• The waist is defined with a wide band of the same purple fabric and I love how it curves upward at the front to meet the bottom of the keyhole there.
• The skirt flows over the hips and gently widens out as it nears the hem. There is a high slit up the centre front seam which lets a bit of a leg to show when you walk.
• The sleeves are spectacular. They are split on an angle coming out from the collar. The open split runs all the way down to just above the elbow and then they narrow down to the cuff from there. This gives them an incredible amount of movement around your arms.
• Each cuff ends in the same highly detailed mesh and rhinestone combination that you see on the collar of the dress and I love how this ties everything together. The cuffs are set on an angle where they fall past the hymn of the sleeve with the mesh ending in a point so that it goes down and over the top of your hand.
• The dress is fully lined in a black silk and closes with a hidden set back zipper under the slit. It hooks to close at the back of the neck and each cuff has a zipper closure.

• This is a phenomenal dress that we believe dates to the early to mid 1980s.
• It was made under the creative direction of Thierry Mugler.
• Mugler was a masterpiece of draping and cut and this is a fantastic example of that. It is cut with Mugler's masterful eye and attention to detail.
• It is made out of a black silk chiffon that sits over an inner structured and boned bodice. The dress under that is a play on transparency. The way the silk is draped in parts make some of it less transparent. The silk is gathered and placed to wrap around the body and emphasizes your curves.
• A panel of fabric extends up to create a single strap that wraps and hooks into place around the neck. A little half bow extends out to sit at the top of your back shoulder. The strap extends across the back on an angle to leave the rest of your back bare.
• The panels drapes upwards on one side and other panels extends down to wrap around the hips. Panels are caught up at the back of the waist to leave ties hanging down the side, picking up on the tie at the top of the shoulder. The body of the dress extends down to just above the knee, depending on your height. A single layer of bias cut silk chiffon is set in under that to create the lower skirt. It falls to the floor in a sweep of chiffon and adds incredible movement as you move.
• The bodice has a built in corset that closes with a series of hooks and then there is a zipper set under that. There is a layer of chiffon through the body of the dress. The neck strap snaps into place with hidden set snaps.
• There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below.

• The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Fall 1979 Givenchy show.
• It was made under the creative direction of Hubert de Givenchy.
• On the runway they showed it belted with a wide wrap belt. From what I understand that was sold separately. We have added a thin black ribbon for ours and I prefer it with a more narrow belt as it really allows the beautiful softness of the bodice to show better. I love that you can choose to wear it either way, or with no belt.
• The dress is two separate pieces. It has an inner black silk chiffon slip and then the outer silk chiffon layer pops over that. I love the large silk velvet dots fused onto the silk chiffon of the outer layer and that the chiffon of the outer layer has a slight texture. There is a fantastic play on transparency that this creates between the two layers.
• The inner slip is suspended from ivory mesh straps and is made out of a black silk chiffon. The front is scooped and the upper back is bare. It skims over the body and then widens out to the hem.
• Over that is the phenomenal outer dress. It falls from top gathered shoulders and is cut wide and easy so that it softly blouses to the waist. Each side is open from shoulder to waist for your arms to slip through. From the side you see the inner chiffon piece for coverage. It hooks to close at the back of the neck and then there is an open slit there that runs all the way to the waist.
• We cinched in the waist with a ribbon, that will be sent with the dress, and it looks equally good with a more structured belt or worn without any.
• From the waist the dress falls to the floor in a long sweep of silk. The silk is gathered into the waist and the fabric is set so that it extends past the waist on both sides with a little opening at the top as a fabric folds from the front to the back. Once this is on, that extra fabric drapes down and over each hip. This is a ingenious way to add subtle shape that still feels soft and feminine. It also picks up on the way that the sides of the bodice falls.
• The silk of the skirt is all cut on the bias and when you are standing still it falls in a beautiful column to the floor but there is an incredible amount of fabric in the skirt. The bottom flares out a touch and it has incredible movement when you move.
• The silk slip acts as a lining. It closes with a back zipper. The outer dress closes with a hook at the back of the neck and then it snaps to close at the waist. Snapped continue slightly under the waist as well. An inner waist stay hooks to close.

• This is an incredible Christian Lacroix dress whose tag dates it to 1997.
• The dress would have been made under the creative direction of Christian Lacroix. 
• This has all the wonderful detailing that you want to see in a Lacroix piece.
• The dress is made out of a black silk that has a very slight texture to it. Onto this are black velvet details along with netting adorned with rhinestones.
• The front sweeps up to the neck and an attached velvet strap wraps around the neck and hooks into place. A little bow sits on the very top of the neck. I love how the top angles down on the sides. It curves down and around to the back and this leaves your entire upper back bare and exposed.
• There are little insets of velvet that follow the curve of the top and these wrap around to create added detail at the back of the waist. Each side has a lace edging that has tiny little rhinestones and faceted black beads fused onto the lace.
• The waist seam at the front is cut on a pretty upwards curve and there is a second bow set at the centre of the waist. A lace peplum has been added to follow the curve of the waist seam and this wraps all the way down and around to the back. Onto the lace are more rhinestones and faceted beads and here they are a greater variety of sizes. I love this detail so much.
• The skirt falls to the floor and gently widens out to the hem. Running up the back is a inset of lace. This gives the back extra fullness and a pretty detail. It is cut slightly longer than the front hem so you get this bit of a sweeping feel behind you. There is an inner layer of silk inside the ski skirt so while the lace has a touch of transparency, it feels safe to wear because of the inner lining.
• The dress is fully lined and closes with a hidden set back zipper. The strap at the neck hooks to close

• This dress was one that was produced for the shops
• It was made under the creative direction of Clare Wright Keller.
• The dress is easy to wear while still being incredibly sexy. It is made out of a thicker jersey that is cut on the bias and this lets it drape beautifully over you and still be completely opaque.
• The plunge at the front gives it a very edgy and sexy feel while the jersey keeps it feeling comfortable.
• The colour is a beautiful deep pink. It is cut in one long tube with a seam at the waist on the front of the dress only.
• The dress has no collar and plunges down at the front to the waist. Two long ties extend out from the base of the front plunge. You can loop or knot them and then they fall almost to the floor at the front.
• The sleeves are long and simple and the shoulders are soft.
• The skirt flares out at it reaches the floor with a high slit runs up the front so you get a flash of leg when you move
• The dress is in its original uncut supermodel length and still has its original hang tags. It closes with a back hidden set zipper.
• The fabric has some stretch and I have put the comfortable range of measurements laying flat. You could probably get a little more if needed

• This is an unlabelled piece that is made to a Demi-haute couture level
• The dress is made of a brilliant feather light pink silk.
• The bodice is cut with a simple feel and then the dress has a wide ruffle on each side that wraps around the shoulders and goes to the back for added drama.
• There is netting inside the ruffle that sits around the shoulders and this helps it to hold its shape and volume. You can also wear this more on the shoulder.
• It is more fitted through the body and has a ruffle that begins at the centre of the bodice extending to wrap down and around the skirt. The ruffle becomes wider as it nears the hem. The back falls longer than the front and it has a beautiful curving line around to the back. Because of the wrap over at the front. when you walk or move you get a flash of leg.
• It comes with its matching little waist band that hooks into place to add more shape to the waist
• It is fully lined in a handset silk and closes with a back zipper . There is an inner waist stay that hooks to close. The matching fabric belt hooks to close.

• The twin of this dress walked the runway for Look 43 for the Cruise 2011 Dior show. 
  
• It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano
• The show was shown in Shanghai that season and Galliano chose not to do very specific references to Shanghai. He said at the time that he was more trying to "capture the feeling of Paris in its heyday" which was what he said he felt happening in Shanghai at that time.
• This was an outstanding look in the show and was one in the series of the closing looks of the show.
• The dress is made of a deep pink silk chiffon and has nod to the 1960s in its design.
• A layer of silk chiffon that has been heavily detailed with hand beading, sequins and prong set pink rhinestones floats over a inner more fitted silk interior. The neckline is scooped wide across and then the back dips into a shallow V.
• The sleeves are a single layer of the chiffon and flare out at their ends. They are detailed all the way down their lengths to match the bodice.
• The dress falls from there to the floor with a top layer of chiffon floating over an inner silk skirt. It widens out just a touch at the hem.
• The interior dress closes with a hidden side set zipper and then the silk top layer that floats over that snaps in place along the edge of the waist at the back. A little strap floats across to connect the two sides and there is a highly detailed bow that sits off side at the back topping a gathering of the silk on the skirt. A second detailed bow sits at the centre of the front waist and I love how these two bows give the dress such a feminine and romantic touch. The inner silk portion of the dress has its own lining of a matching silk. The pink is a slightly different shade in person than how it photoed
• There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements below. It seems slim fitting through the hips.

• This dress is from the Spring 1998 season.
• It was made under the creative direction of the original Mr. Valentino.
• This is a really stunning dress that shows how beautifully Valentino emphasize the female body will always staying within a certain type of elegant.
• It is strapless and cut to curve over the top.
• Under that the dress is covered in a black netting that has little dots worked throughout the tulle. 
• An inner ivory silk layer gives the dress its structure and allows the pattern that you see on the netting to really take centre stage by acting as it's backdrop.
• The dress is gathered down the full length of each side. This is what creates the shape and gathers in the netting that you see. 
• Each side has a detail of a double row of tiny black seed beads running vertically all the way down for a little added glitz as you move.
• The very bottom of the inner skirt peeks out from underneath the netting. It is that so that it flares out with an elaborate pleated ruffle all the way around.
• The ivory acts as the lining through the body and then the bodice is lined with an additional layer of black silk satin. Lightly boned through the inner built-in bodice. It closes with a hidden set side zipper and the inner bodice piece has its own separate zipper. It has its original tag and appears to have never been worn.

• This amazing dress is from the Spring 1987 Haute Couture collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Yves Saint Laurent.
• The dress would have been made completely by hand in the Paris atelier. 
  
• The dress is made from a black French corded lace and this choice in fabric gives the dress its structure and shape. This is mixed with silk satin details across the top of the bottom, around the hip and finishing the hem.
• The bodice is strapless and is cut to curve across the front. Inside there is a full separate couture corset that is boned and shaped to hold the dress perfectly in place around you.
• It curves in to skim over the waist and curves back out for the hips. Sitting just under the hips there is an attached black silk ribbon that wraps around you and ties in a bow at the front.
• The skirt falls underneath that ribbon detailing to the floor. It widens out quite a bit around you for a lovely movement when you move. The skirt is cut longer at the back so you have extra fabric there and a bit of a sweeping feel behind you. I love how there is a matching dip at the back of the bodice so that there is an illusion of added length created.
• As with all couture pieces they only truly come to life once on the body. This dress looks so simple and easy but it is really a bit of an understated masterpiece in person.
• It is fully lined in a black silk and closes with a side set zipper. The inner corset closes with its own zipper inside that. The corset is lightly boned through the bodice and shaped. An inner waist stay hooks to close.
• There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements list listed below.

• The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Fall 1989 Haute Couture Runway 
  
• It was made under the creative direction of Emanuel Ungaro
• The dress is made out of a handmade French lace in a pale silver grey with ivory cord overlay and subtle silver thread woven throughout. It is extremely beautiful.
• It would have been completely made by hand in the Paris Atelier
• It is fitted and shaped through the bodice with internal boning and structure. I love the soft curve at the top edge.
• The lace has been hand draped over the bust and it is swept up to one hip with a tiny handmade flower in a matching lace. 
  
• It curves down and over the hips to the top of the thigh and the bottom of the full bodice is set on an angle.
• The skirt is gathered in and up underneath that. It is tightly gathered all the way around the lower portion of the dress which gives it incredible movement when you move.
  
• The dress is fully lined in a silver grey silk and closes with a hidden set, zipper, offset at the back and part of the fabric from the back extends and wraps to hook under the flower at the front. An inner waist stay hooks to close.

• Note that due to new regulations this dress can only ship to a Canadian address 
• The twin of the dress walk the runway for the Resort 2018 Prada runway as Look 19.
• It was made under the creative direction of Miuccia Prada.
• The dress is made from an inner silk chiffon, lace edged dress that you wear a silk organza and feather dress over top of that. The two dresses laying over each other is what creates the depth and airiness that you see.
• The inner dress is a pale ivory and the outer dress is a pale grey. The two together are absolutely beautiful.
• A nude pink silk edges the top of the outer dress and there is a layer of gold connected metal discs set under that.
• The fit is full and open through the body much like a 1920s flapper dress.
• There is a pleated organza that detail the hip area above the feathers. I love how she always adds these tiny details.
• Hand dyed feathers circle around the entire lower skirt and give it incredible volume. They move beautifully as you move.
• The inner dress slips onto to wear with a single button at the side of the bodice and the outer dress closes down the side with hidden set snaps
• There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below.

• Made under the creative direction of Frida Giannini
  
• One was also worn by Clara Paget that same year
• A gorgeous leopard print covers the entire surface of the top silk chiffon layer of the dress.
• The front crosses over itself at the neck and then buttons in place behind the neck. Under that the top blouses over you and comes in at the waist. This leaves the back almost fully open and bare.
• It was shown with a belt that was sold separately and you could easily wear it with any belt to add more shape or wear it without.

• The Gucci logo for this time period is worked within the leopard pattern over the entire dress
• Fully lined in a black silk chiffon and closes with a back hidden set zipper. It buttons to close at the back of the neck

• A longer version of this caftan walk the runway for the Spring 2002 YSL collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Tom Ford.
• When this went to the shops it was sent in two lengths. One that was extremely long as shown on the runway and one that is a more manageable length that is about to the ankle on most women depending on your height.
• The caftan is made from an ultra light fine silk knit. A fantastic leopard print is worked onto the fabric and I love the bold statement that this makes.
• Long vertical panels of the knit are set side-by-side to make up the caftan and in between they are attached by little horizontal threads set down the full length of the caftan. This gives you a very subtle tiny cut outs vertically down you and all the way around.
• It plunge in a V at the front and does the same thing at the back. The sides are closed with open slits for your arms to slip through. The body of the caftan is open and easy as a result and it should fit almost anybody
• The lightness of the fabric makes it the perfect piece to wear on its own as an evening piece layered over something underneath, and that something could be as bare as you dare. You could also wear it during the day layered over a swimsuit. It is a really versatile piece and easy to travel with.
• You can see how fantastically it moves in the video reference we added. 
  
• It is unlined and slips over the head to where
• Tagged  YSL Medium
• Excellent condition

Bust-hips: open
Total length: 50" from the top of the shoulder to the hem including the fringes when it's laying out flat. When it is on it can extend down up to 59" at the sides.

• The twin of this dress walk the runway for the Fall 1989 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Patrick Kelly.
• The Philadelphia Museum of Art hosted an exhibit of the work of Patrick Kelly in 2014. The show notes state: "“I want my clothes to make you smile”—that was the goal of late African American designer Patrick Kelly in creating his bold, bright, and joyful creations. Kelly achieved this on the streets, nightclubs, and runways of New York, Paris, and beyond in the heady, inventive, and often-subversive urban milieu of the 1980s....Kelly’s work pushed racial and cultural boundaries with golliwog logos, Aunt Jemima bandana dresses, and his ubiquitous black baby-doll brooches. His playful looks were inspired by his muse, Josephine Baker, and admiration for couturiers Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, and Yves Saint Laurent, among others."
• Supermodel Iman wore the twin of this on the runway and I love how spectacular she was in it.
• The dress is made out of a fantastic stretch velour fabric that will stretch to hug your curves and show off every bit of the body. That said the velvet keeps it flattering and easy to wear as it gives support at the same time it molds to the body.  This combined with that leopard print is just fabulous.
• The cut through the body hugs your every curve and the dress is molded to your frame all the way down to the hem. The stretch the fabric and the way to lower hem flares out is what allows you to walk. 
• The back is completely open and the front extends out too long extended ties from both side sides. These ties are what allow you to style the bodice in multiple ways. I shot a few here for you and you might find that once it is on you that you can think of more. It makes it an incredibly versatile dress.
• Whether you wear it halter style, as a one shoulder dress, or strapless, as soon as you turn around you get that bare expanse of skin which is very sexy.
• It curves over the hips, narrows back inwards slightly and then flares out beautifully for the lower skirts. The front hem of the skirt curves up a touch and then the back is cut a little longer than the front. The shape once this is on the body is fabulous and it is very easy to fit because of the stretch.
• It is a showstopper and an amazing example of his work. I love everything about this dress and that it is a true piece of fashion history that is extremely well documented.
• The dress is unlined and you just slip it on and tie the top part  as you wish to wear it. At some point the bottom hem was let down and I have left it for that extra length.
• There is no size tag present and it does have stretch. I have put the comfortable range while laying flat below. You probably still have some extra room if needed because of the stretch of the fabric.
• Excellent condition

Bust: variable because of the way it can be tied in multiple ways. It should fit just about any size chest.
Waist: 14-19" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: 18-22" flat across from side seam to side seam
Bodice: the full height of the bodice is 20" from its top to the waist. When you tie it, it will drain or fold and is meant to give you that versatility. For the length I folded the bodice in half so it's 10" from the top to waist.
Total length: 54" from top of the bodice, when folded as noted above, to front hem and the back extends another 8" past that.

• The twin of the dress in a print walked the runway for the Fall 2002 show for Look 23.
• It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano.
• At the time Vogue commented that: "this fall collection is almost classic in its Dior-isms containing all the patterns, symbols and accessories on which Galliano has re-built the house foundations. That means ethnic color and print, love of the eighteenth century, an obsession with bias-cut dresses, a "sauvage" method of cutting all his own."
• It is an incredible dress to see in person and it is so unusual in its cut and design.
• The dress is made out of two layers of a black bias cut silk chiffon that is incredibly light in weight.
• It is strapless across the front and has an attached stretch elastic that is detailed in silver grommets, and a metal buckle at the front. You can tighten the way the top of the bodice fits with the buckle a bit, but it is really meant to be mainly decorative. The buckle is engrave with CD on one side. Underneath the buckle there is in open keyhole that is gathered around its edges. A little cord runs through the edges so that you can tie it. This brings all the fabric inwards along the keyhole.
• The waist comes in a bit under that but it has a more open and generous feel. The bias cut of the silk makes it easy to fit and wear.
• The skirt flares outward under that and there are extra panels down each side. These panels are attached along the outer edge of a second matching elastic belt that matches the one on the top. It slings around at the front and you have another silver metal buckle there which is also engraved with CD.
• The front of the skirt falls more flat and then the panels wrapped around the hip and these are what create the skirt to swing outwards. The design is very clever.
  
• It is one of those dresses that you just pull on and walk out the door. Adding heels or wearing flats will completely change it up. It is a great dress that you can wear day to night.
• The second layer of silk chiffon as its lining. It slips on to wear. The buckles are mainly decorative, but you can use them to slightly adjust the fit. The top buckle is missing one of the prongs. It still holds it perfectly fine. The dress does have stretch and it's comfortable range when laying flat is listed below.

• The label on the suit dates it to the early to mid-90s and it is almost certainly a production piece made for the shops
• It was made under the creative direction of Alexander McQueen.
• The suit is very unusual and shows the depth and range that he had in executing design.
• Here he has almost taken the idea of the structured suit to its limits. The fabric is a deep charcoal nylon mix and it has a remarkable texture to it. It is also extremely light in weight and yet holds the shape that you see effortlessly. It is very interesting.
• The collar is a collar within a collar. There is an inner piece that is meant to sit up and frame the face and then this is attached within a secondary collar that sits more on the outside of your shoulders.
• The jacket is brought in at the waist and it ties into place on the outside and inside, letting you send it in as much as you wish. From there it curvee back out over the hips.
• The sleeves are cut extra long and you can push them up or wear them over the top of your hands. They are cut on a bit of a curve and the cuffs are set on an angle with the fabric gathered and stitched up on one side. They flare out slightly and the fabric is caught up underneath itself so that they have a bit of puff to them. There is a strip of raw edged black netting that has a row of burnished gold sequins set on top of that to wrap around each wrist.
• The skirt has that same sequin and netting detail at the very front and then it expands outward with a great amount of volume.
• It is brought up and gathered all the way around in at different heights to create that incredible draped and puffed feel that it has. How it falls in the photos is how it naturally falls.
• Both pieces are very light in weight so it is very easy to wear despite its intricate feeling design.
• The jacket is fully lined in a black silk and the skirt has a lining behind the waist area and the rest of the skirt is unlined. The jacket ties to close at the waist and the skirt closes with side set exposed zipper. 
  
• The jacket is tagged a McQueen 46 and the skirt a 40
• Excellent condition and appears to have been worn very little if at all.

• The twin of this dress walk the runway for the Spring 1993 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Karl Lagerfeld
• He did an entire series of dresses in several variations for this collection. We have also added some other shots from the collection for you to see since this particular group of dresses were integral to the collection that year. 
• Examples of Karl's work during this time period are held in museums around the world and are rare finds. This is an important piece of his fashion history. 
• The cut of the dress is simple but it is very sexy with its long silhouette and see through lower skirts.
• The dress is made out of a black crepe that has a slight bias cut to it that allows it to drape well over the body once on.
• The strap detailing that crosses over the body, edges the bust area, and is used for the straps that go up and around the neck, are all made from a wide cotton weave looking ribbon that is applied directly onto the dress.
• Black seed beads were applied onto that ribbon and they catch the light beautifully when you move. The bodice is extensively beaded, sequinned and embroidered. The colours are bright and brilliant and I love how they give the dress a fantastic pop of colour.
• The work completely covers each triangle of the front bust and then wraps all the way around the back. The straps are intricate and hook behind the neck and become a design detail in themselves. 
•  The dress skims over the body and then flares out with that inset of silk chiffon for the very lower part of the skirt.
• Fully lined in a black silk. The lower chiffon part of the skirt is unlined. It closes with a hidden set back zipper and hooks to close at the back of the neck. Hand finishes and beautifully constructed.

• This is a very rare Haute Couture dress set by Madame Gres.
• While researching the dress we found that the 1958 and 1959 collections in particular were ones that featured braided details and cape elements like this dress has and this timeline matches when the original owner would have worn this set.
• Madame Gres' work has had profound effects on Haute Couture and her influence still resonates to this day. Her attention to detail, master draping techniques and respect for the female form is unparalleled. She was known for designing and creating garments directly on her models and this became a signature of her work.
• She opened her first atelier, La Maison Alix in 1932. A partnership briefly changed the house's name to Alix Barton and then the label went to simply Alix. In 1942 she married, and the label made its last change to became Madame Gres, which was a partial anagram of Serge, her husband's first name. Her work spans over five full decades with the vast majority of it, with the exception of a short-lived RTW line begun in 1980, dedicated solely to creating Haute Couture. She is one of the greatest couturiers of our time and her pieces are very rare and hard to find.
• This Haute Couture dress is exceptional. It comes to me directly from the family. Her son told me that 'Madame Grès would let her (his mother) wear many dresses as she was size model and those she really liked she purchased afterwards.' This was one of those that she kept.
• We have included some examples of other dresses by Gres that share some of those common elements to this one from those years for you to see.
• The dress is made from a bias cut silk chiffon with a small abstract print on it. From a distance it gives you that beautiful mottled red / pink effect. Then as you look closer at the fabric you see that there is a deeper red, coral, soft green and a blue that all work together to form a pretty abstract floral print.
• The cut is simple and minimalist.
• On the dress, wide straps have made from hand twisting and stitching the silk chiffon and then it curves over the shoulders.  It extends from there to detail the neckline at the back and front.
• The body of the dress falls from under that in a swoop of bias cut silk that widens out as it nears the hem. The dress is lined in a layer of bias cut ivory silk and this gives the top patterned layer more depth. The silk is as light as air.
• Every seam on the dress has been finished by hand. Working with a silk chiffon as fine as this makes that an incredible achievement that would have taken countless hours of handwork.
• It comes with a matching caped piece that has an unusual design. Two wide single layer panels are attached at the top and then they hook together at the front. The panels fall over each shoulder to the floor and just past the hem of the dress. They are incredibly light in weight. This allows the slightest bit of air to pick them up so that they waft and float around you as you move.
• The cape is topped by an oversized hood that is cut extra long at the back and in such a way that its end twirls. I have taken a photo of this for you because it is just such an incredible detail.
• When the hood is up it falls gently around the face to frame it
• It is a work of art and very rare. It very well may be the only one that exists.
• The dress is lined in a fine ivory silk. A handmade soft inner corset is set inside and under the ivory layer and it closes with its own zipper. The ivory silk lining closes over that with its own zipper and then the outer layer of the dress closes with hidden set tiny snaps. The cape hooks to close at the front. An inner waist stay hooks to close with metal couture hooks. I see a couple of small holes near the hem of the one panel that were left as they are stable. There is a very tiny and finely done seam at the base of where it snaps to close at the front and I'm not sure if it is there deliberately or if it was a repair at one time but it's invisible when the dress is on. Please see the photo after the label shot.
• The dress is finished to Haute Couture standards and entirely made by hand. The proper Haute Couture label is present.
• No size tag is present. The bias cut of the dress should work for a range of measurements and I have listed the comfortable range laying flat where that applies.
  
• No matter how good you think it looks in the photos it is better in person.
• Excellent condition and appears to have been worn very little.

Bust: 14-17" flat across from side seam to side seam
Inner waist stay: 12.5" flat across from side seam to side seam

• This is a long version of the Spring 2017 collection dress 
• It was made under the creative direction of Sandra Mansour
• I believe that the dress in this long length was made exclusively for the shop, The Modist, and was not available anywhere else, making it one of very few that exist.
• The dresses made out of a pale pink netting that sits over a nude silk chiffon.
• Onto the netting is a brilliant design of suns, waves and hearts that are all done in a metallic lurex thread in gold, a deeper, almost copper gold, pale blue and red. It is just outstanding.
• The neckline is high and the bodice skims over you to the waist. There is an inner bodice and then the sleeves simply extend out from the waist to their ruffled ends. This gives the sleeves incredible volume and also the width of that sleeve allows that brilliant design to be displayed on them. 
  
• The waist is cut generously and then the skirt falls from there to widen out to the floor. The skirt is also covered with that same design elements all the way to the hem. As good as it looks in the photos it is even better in person. The metallic is the perfect little glint against the paleness of the netting behind it.
• The dress is fairly light in weight despite all of the fabric in it and really moves beautifully once on.
• It is fully lined in a nude silk chiffon, except for the sleeves, and closes at the back with a hidden set zipper.
• Its original price tag was just under $10,000 US
• Tagged a modern Mansour 46 
  
• Excellent condition with all its tags attached. It was never worn.

• Mary McFadden patented her Fortuny inspired pleating technique just a couple of years after launching her label in 1973.
• This is from her higher end couture line that had a more limited production and was sold at higher end shops, Bergdorf's in the case of this dress.
• Mary was known to say frequently that there was no greater beauty than pleated cloth on the human body and she said when she developed her 'marii' fabric that her aim was to have it 'fall like liquid gold on the body, like Chinese silk.' 
  
• The dress is made from a beautiful pastel teal green synthetic silk charmeuse that she sourced from Australia. This was her signature fabric and it was then pleated in McFadden's proprietary pleating technique. 
  
• The bodice is absolutely beautiful. It comes up at the front with a beaded diamond shaped piece sitting at the peak. The heavy embellishments extend out to cover the straps that curve on either side of the neck and then a second strap sits beside that. I love the design that this makes. The straps curved down to the back leaving most of the upper back bare and exposed. Under the straps at the back there is another design made up of three of the diamond shaped panels.
• All of the bead and sequin work is done by hand and they are heavily embellished with thousands of small beads and tiny sequins in a mix of soft pastel colours. There are even little hand weights sewn into little pockets at the inside front to counterbalance the weight of the extra beading at the back.
• The pleating on the bust is set horizontally to wrap around you. The waist is seamed but in a bit more generous feel.
• The skirt falls to the floor from there and I love how she has set the pleating vertically for contrast to the bodice.
• I also love that the skirt is cut very long which is a rare thing to find in her work. As she progressed in her career she preferred to design pieces that ended at the ankle so you could see the shoe underneath. Her full length pieces are a bit rarer.
  
• The dress is fully lined in a matching coloured silk and closes with a side set zipper. All of the straps are attached and you just slip your head through them before zipping. Hand finishes.

• The twin of this dress walk the runway for the Fall 1979 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Roy Halston.
• From what I am aware the dress was made in three colour ways. This green and gold version, a blue and gold, and a version that has a deeper gold and more brown feeling combination. 
  
• It is from his main couture line and these would have been primarily made-to-order during this time period.
• This is an amazing couture Halston dress and a very rare and special find.
• It is entirely cut on the bias above and below the elastic waist and utilizes his signature minimal seaming. Halston defined how woman dressed in the 1970s and his dresses in particular were tremendously flattering to the body.
• It is feather light and you are barely conscious of wearing anything.
• The fabric is a very fine light gold and green silk lurex lame that moves and drapes beautifully.
• The bodice is generously cut. The neckline is scooped and there is a little keyhole at the back below the hook there. The sleeves extend out from the waist with no seam around the arm and then they narrow down to their ends. This leaves the bodice loose and generous over you.
• There is elastic set around the waist so it is very easy to fit. The dress also comes with its original matching tie belt in the same fabric. The belt is shaped more like a cummerbund with a wider panel that extends into smaller ties on each side. This lets you wrap in shape it around you and cinch in the waist much as you wish. You can leave the ties at the front or the back.

• This is an absolutely gorgeous dress whose twin walked the runway for the Lanvin Spring 2011 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction Alber Elbaz.
• The dress is made of a very light in weight silk chiffon in a pale green. Onto the silk there is a beautiful pattern done in a combination of metallic gold and silver threads that give the entire dress a subtle glimmer. It is just outstanding.
• All of the edges of the dress are done in a soft green grosgrain ribbon. This edges the neckline and little half ribbons are also used down the side of the bodice for added detail.
• The silk portions of the dress have raw edges and are set on top of the ribbon edging. 
  
• The front has an almost bib feel up to the neck and then scoops outward under the arms to fall to a dropped waist. The ribbons detail the sides and there are ruffled tiers and half tiers that fall down the sides of the dress to the top of the hip.
• At the back it mimics the same cut as the front but with a keyhole slit between where it hooks at the back of the neck and where the zipper is set so that you get a little extra bit of bare skin showing.
• The skirt is made out of a single layer of the silk and widens out for a soft and flowing feel to the hem. It is pleated in and under the last little ruffled tier at the top of the hip and then opens out from there. There is a hidden slit off to one side at the front so when you walk you get a flash of leg.
• It is a phenomenal example of his patterning and draping skills.
• The dress is unlined and the silk has a slight bit of transparency between the metallic parts. It zippers to close at the back with an open keyhole between the zipper and where it hooks to close at the back of the neck.

• The twin of this dress was a part of the Spring 2002 final Haute Couture collection by Yves Saint Laurent.
• "I have chosen today to say goodbye to the craft that I have loved so much. The next show to which I invite you, on Tuesday, 22nd January at 6 PM, at the centre of George's Pompano, will predominantly be a retrospective of my work… Some designs from the currencies will also be shown." This was how Yves the announced his intention to retire and leave the world of Haute Couture. That final show was over an hour long and was presented to a room of 1500 hand picked guests.
• A total of 371 garments were shown that day with pieces from the beginning of his career to the final collection.
• Recreations of some of his most famous dresses were made available and each has the special label that you see in this dress with both the original date of the labels inception and the 2002 date.
• This is one is a recreation of the famous Fall 1984 dress. We have included references of both the original and the twin of this one in the show.
• It is an extremely rare and wonderful piece of YSL history.
• It would have been entirely made by hand in the Paris atelier.
• The neckline sits wide across and the shoulders are soft. The sleeves narrow to their ends and all of the upper bodice is done in a fine black light in weight wool that has a slight texture.
• The waist is defined by two wide panels. They attached and are gathered in along each side and this gives the shape you see. The top panel is a purple and the bottom a deep pink.
• The dress skims over the hips and then falls to the floor flaring outward as it reaches the hem. The back is cut slightly longer than the front and you can see the extra fabric built in there to create a sweeping feel behind you.
• Every line is meticulously thought out and the technique to create the lines of this dress showcase his decades as one of the premier modern Couturiers in the world.
• The dress is fully lined in a hand set black silk and closes with a side set zipper. An inner waist hooks to close and the dress buttons above a small keyhole at the back. Each end of the sleeve closes with zipper. All of the inner seams are done by hand and the entire dress is made to modern Couture standards. Its proper numbered Couture tag is present.
• There is no size tag present so please go buy the measurements listed below.
• Excellent condition and appears to have been worn very little if at all.

Sleeves: 21" and are 16" around the upper arm
Shoulders: 15"
Bust: to 19.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: to 15" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: to 22" flat across from side seam to side seam
Bodice: 12" from top of shoulder to top of the 10" band at the waist

• This is the twin of the runway set created for the Spring 1977 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Yves Saint Laurent.
• In the book on Yves Saint Laurent's work "Catwalk" the note for the collection states that "for evening Yves Saint Laurent designed taffeta skirts puffed out by full petticoats paired with delicate blouses." American Vogue wrote "Saint Laurent, the totally romantic view of woman and clothes" while French Vogue raved about the multicultural inspiration of the collection saying "you can no longer go out in the evening without coming across a taffeta flounce". The most prominent references were to Spain.
• Its twin was also used for the ad campaign that year.
• Both pieces are made out of a feather light black gauze that has a touch of transparency to it which adds to the airiness and light feeling of the set.
• The neck line of the top is set wide across and with an elastic finish so that you can wear it off of the shoulder for a bare expanse of skin to show. A wide 9" ruffle follows the entire neckline and gives the prettiest flounce all the way around you. Detailing the edge of the ruffle is a black lace. And the upper edge just below the elastic is finished with a black braid and little silk covered cord dangling beads.
• Under that the top skims down to the hem and is cut in a box shape to the ham. To get a more defined feeling through the middle you just tuck it in to the skirt. On the runway and in the ad campaign, it was shown belted with two different type of belts. I love that it shows that by changing up the look of the belt that changes up the look of the set.
• The skirt has an elastic waist so is very easy to fit. It falls outward to the hem in two tiers and widens out as it goes.
• It is very full by the hem and I love how the bottom tier is finished with the same lace on the top. Where the two tears are set together there is another panel of lace that has more of that same black cord and the beads running through it centre. That volume combined with the lightness of the fabric gives you incredible movement when you move.
• This is an absolutely stunning example of his work during this time period and I love that it is so well documented.
• Both pieces are unlined and weigh very little. The top slips over the head to wear with elastic through the neckline and the skirt has elastic at the waist. They are both easy to fit. 
  
• The skirt is tagged a YSL 38 and the top a 36
  
• Excellent condition

• This is a very rare and unusual piece of YSL because it has the added information on the tags of that it is a piece of Couture.
• At this time Hedi Slimane was the creative director and he had re-opened the Couture division at the YSL label. The couture line was not for the general public but was reserved for a select group of friends and clients, making it even more exclusive than traditional couture.
• A couture collection was presented for Fall 2016 in Paris but it was not officially a part of the Couture schedule.
• All of that sums up to make this dress one of the pieces that he most likely made as a custom-made piece for a client. Because YSL had not officially joined the Chambre Syndicale de la Mode Parisienne it would officially be considered to be demi-couture.
• This is an extremely rare piece from his time at the label made even more special because it has all its original tags in place.
• The dress is made from a fine black wool that has a touch of a texture to it.
• It is sharply tailored and touches on the famous YSL tuxedo variations that Yves' did season to season. The shoulders are shaped with structure and the sleeves are long. Each ends with five hand covered buttons to close the end of the sleeves.
• It skims over the bust, waist and hips and then falls to the floor widening out as it nears the hem.
• The skirt has a very high slit at one side so that you get a flash of leg when you walk.
• At the front there is a panel that has a mesh net inset that has little handset black beads in a mix of a jet black beads and a deep grey glass prong set rhinestones. When this is on you see that bit of skin showing through and the detailing lets it glint in the light.
• Between that mesh covered front cut out and that extremely high slit at the side, it has a very sexy feel once on despite its covered and sculpted feel, making it perfectly representative of Hedi's best work.
  
• It very well could be the only one in existence.
• The dress is fully lined in a handset black silk and closes at the back with a hidden set zipper. Each sleeve buttons to close. Ribbon edged seams and hand finishing throughout. Some of the long seam Work appears to have been done by hand, which is allowed in modern Couture.
• There is no size tag so please go by the measurements below.
• Excellent condition and appears to have never been worn.

• We believe the dress is from the 1984 collection and Kim Kardashian wore its twin in 2008.
• It was made under the creative direction of Thierry Mugler.
• The fabric that it is made out of is a light in weight metallic gold fabric that drapes beautifully and has a beautiful deep gold tone to it.
• The dress is cut with Mugler's masterful eye and attention to detail.
• The bodice is strapless. One side is curved and is gathered in underneath the other side. There is a peaked panel that folds down to create a little flap on the other side.
• A panel of the metallic gold fabric extends out from the side with the peaked bodice and this buckles into a gold metal buckle belt coming around from the back. This creates a heavy gathering at that side that sweeps up and adds shape through the waist area.
• The buckle is metal and is signed at the back. These would have been specifically made for Mugler.
• The skirt falls under that with a bit of a curving hem at the front so that it is all brought upwards as you can see in the photos. It is meant to feel hourglass in shape.
• This is a spectacular and very rare example of his work.
  
• I love how the entire dress shimmers in the light because of the gold metallic fabric.
• The dress is lined through the bodice with a more structured fabric that creates an inner built-in corset that is boned and cupped. The skirt is fully lined in a lighter feeling silk. It closes at the back with a zipper and then buckles around the waist with the attached buckle belt. The actual interior of the Terry Mugler tag has been cut out.
• Tagged vintage Mugler 42
• Excellent condition with a bit of wear above the grommets and on the belt buckle.

• This is a fantastically rare and special metallic gold jumpsuit from the 1950s.
• This is the kind of thing you will only ever find in vintage.
• It is well made and potentially a piece that had a second designer label in it at some point. Shops like the Elizabeth Arden couture salon in NYC carried their own pieces as well as pieces from other designers. 
  
• These metallic playsuit pieces are so rare and hard to find and this one is in just exceptional condition.
• This great little playsuit is made out of a very early metallic fabric that feels like it has actual metal in the threads. It has an almost structured feel to the fabric itself.
• The gold is a bright metallic tone and a touch brighter than how you what you see here. It really catches the light wonderfully and gives the suit its touch of high glamour.You could wear this by the pool, though I wouldn't recommend going into the water with it. A modern girl could even wear this on its own as an ultra mini feeling piece. It really has endless possibilities.
• Matching straps curve up and over each shoulder. You could also tuck them in and wear this as a strapless piece I think.
• It skims down and over the body with just the suggestion of shape through the waist. You could easily add a belt to cinch in the waist and add more shape if you wished. The shorts part of are cut wide like a loose boy short.
• Inside it is lined in a stretch jersey and its shape is much like a swimsuit. The inner legs are elastic. It is very clean and fresh and appears to have been worn very little.
• There is no size tag present. The fabric has a touch of stretch. I have put the comfortable range of measurements below fr both the inner piece and outer. I see a couple tiny missed threads in the weave here and there. Super minor but mentioned for accuracy.
• Excellent condition

Bust: 16-18" flat across from side seam to side seam

• This is a great dress from the 1960s that has no label. It is one of those magical things that you will only ever find in vintage.
• It has that wonderful old Hollywood star feel to it.
• The dress is completely covered in sequins that are a deep burgundy that has a touch of deep fuchsia pink to them. They are set in an overlapping grid and cover every square inch of the dress.
• The neckline is set wide across and this dips into a completely open V at the back that leaves a bare expanse of skin showing.
• The sleeves are long and the front skims over you to the waist. There is a wide band of a burgundy fabric that you can wrap and tie several ways around you. You can have the ends at the front or the back for a completely different look. I showed both ways here.
• The dress skims over the hips and then falls in a long lean column all the way to the floor. There is a slit up the back to allow you to walk and for a little bit of leg to show as you walk away.
• The dress is fully lined in a burgundy rayon and closes with a low set back zipper. The ties are attached on either side of the zipper at the back and you tie them how you wish.
• The dress has no size tag and there is a bit of give in the fabric. I have put the comfortable range below.
• I see a bit of grubbiness and some discoloration on the inner lining under the arms but it does not go through and a bit on the ties.
• Overall great condition.

• The twin of this dress was Look 21 for the Resort 2020 presentation.
• The dress was made under the creative direction of founder Catherine Holstein.
• Holstein established Khaite in 2016 as the label’s designer, founder and creative director.
• “Khaite” is pronounced like “Kate” and was inspired by Holstein’s nickname, Cate. In Greek, Khaite means “flowing hair” which is a nod to the femininity of the label.
• This look is actually two pieces. There is the top overdress and then it came with a separate under-skirt that adds a ton of extra volume and makes it opaque enough to wear.
• Both pieces are made out of a deep burgundy netting that has a touch of a pink undertone to it. The colour is even better in person.
• The dress is a touch big on my dress form so on the right size it is going to sit even better.
• I love how she layered and draped the tulle on the one side of the bodice. That sweeping panel that goes up and over the shoulder and top of the arm is so very pretty. Then by using a only single layer of the netting over the other shoulder you get a play on transparency that is gorgeous.
• The waist is seamed with a raw edge finish. The skirt cascades down to the floor from there and there are many yards of netting used to make up the skirt.
• An inner separate skirt goes under that. It has a grosgrain ribbon band around the waist that hooks into place and then there is about 2" of a single layer of the tulle under that. The lower part of the skirt is gathered into the bottom of that layer. The lower part is made up of two layers and the gathering is heavier than what is done on the exterior skirt. This makes the bottom skirt very full and also makes it more opaque.
• I love that having that separate underskirt actually gives you a whole extra piece to wear on its own because you could wear it as a skirt in its own right.
• Both pieces are unlined. The dress slips on to wear and hooks to close at the back of the neck and zips at the side. The inner skirt hooks to close at the waist.
• Tagged a modern 10
• Excellent condition and was never worn.
