About the Item

This decadent 1950s evening gown is cut from the most beautiful deep turquoise/teal satin, which has an iridescent burgundy reverse - flashes of which can be seen under the skirt as the wearer moves. It has a floor-sweeping cut with a full-skirt generously cut from swathes of satin. The skirt is gently pleated at the waistband. The gown has a one-shoulder silhouette formed from a large turquoise satin bow that sits across the chest. One of the bow’s ears attaches to the wide satin shoulder strap. The bow is embellished with tiny rhinestones, pearls and pink crystals, alongside flowers formed from pink sequin petals circling a pearl centre. It is lined at the bust with a tonal mesh and is boned to hold its shape. The dress fastens at the back with a hidden zip and hook-and-eye clasp. The skirt is unlined. This gown is in very good vintage condition and presents beautifully. There are a few faint marks on some of the edges of the bow, a few lost in the fullness of the skirt and a few tiny pulls but these cannot be noticed when worn. At the back there are a few age related marks which blend in very well with the luminosity and richness of the fabric. The dress contains no labels and the fabric has no stretch - please check our measurements below. Our model's sizes are: Bust: 37” (94cm), Waist: 31” (80cm), Hips: 45” (114cm) and Height: 5' 10.5" (180cm). She's a size UK 12, US 8 and this fit her well. MEASUREMENTS BUST - 34 in.

1950s Turquoise Layered Tulle Net Halterneck Dress

1950s Turquoise Layered Tulle Net Halterneck Dress

Located in London, GB

This original 1950s turquoise and net prom dress is a real show-stopping, fairy tale piece. It reminds us of the Disney Princess dress worn by Cinderella at the ball. There are three layers to the skirt; an acetate underskirt, over-laid with a plain net skirt and finally the top layer. This has 11 ruffle trims added in rows which give the dress a very full and sweeping profile. The boned bodice is also in the same coloured ruched fabric, imitating taffeta silk with net trim to the sweetheart neckline. The dress has a very pleasing detachable layered net halter neck that widens over the shoulders to give a little cape like effect. Fastening to the rear with the original concealed centre back zip and hook and eye closure. A long bow...

1960s Turquoise Scallop Pleated and Beaded Embellished Shift Dress

Located in London, GB

This 1960s cocktail dress is intricately adorned with pale-aqua ruched manmade chiffon stitched in a scalloped pattern across the entire body, the resulting effect is soft and cloud-like; the only distraction the occasional ivory or blue pearl which trims the chiffon. Heavy beading and embroidery feature across the bust and continue onto the wide straps. Here, ombré vines made from dark grey-blue beads and pale blue stitching encircle light blue iridescent beads and pearls - decadent detailing that makes this gown a stand-out piece for any occasion. The chiffon is sewn onto the integral viscose blend lining to prevent the dress from being sheer. A parted Watteau train...
