1950's Philip Hulitar Yellow Pleated Silk Draped Hourglass Cocktail Party Dress
About the Item
This is such a seductive and enchanting look from the rare Philip Hulitar 'Old Hollywood' designer label. Perfect for any upcoming event; you can't help but feel feminine in this beauty! "The star of a gifted designer has risen recently on the fashion horizon," The New York Times reported after Philip Hulitar opened his own firm in 1949 and I can definitely see why. This luxurious garment is fashioned from stunning light-weight silk chiffon that has been hand-pleated. The gorgeous three-dimensional ruching giving the garment so much depth and texture. The bodice has an exquisite draped one-shoulder that continues down the backside and couture style corset boning. I love the hourglass nipped waist silhouette which is so figure flattering. A dramatic velvet-bow accented side-swag that connects to the shoulder finishes this showstopper off with a perfect femme fatale vibe! The construction is so fresh and modern yet still has that perfect timeless quality.

- Vintage 1970 Mainbocher Couture Vogue Documented Hot Pink Flocked Silk DressBy MainbocherLocated in Beverly Hills, CAGorgeous Mainbocher couture shocking pink abstract floral dress dating back to his 1970 collection. As shown, this design was modeled by Loulou de la Falaise for Vogue magazine. Mainbocher was a well-respected couturier who operated fashion houses in Paris and later New York from the 1930's through the 1970's. Mainbocher's arrival in New York coincided perfectly with the city élite's love for French couture, for though he epitomized it, he satisfied their patriotism because he was actually an American. The integrity of luxurious fabrics, intricate cut, quality workmanship were cherished by Mainbocher's upper crust customers. This mid 1960's dress is a perfect example of his genius. The fabric is a lush mid-weight velvet flocked silk satin. The 3/4-length sleeve buttons down bodice really compliments the classic nipped-waist silhouette. The dress can even be worn as a dramatic jacket if you choose to leave it unbuttoned. You get the effect of elegance and edgy at the same time. I love the sculpted mermaid skirting which really moves beautifully when worn. As Mainbocher once said "I have never known a really chic...Category
