1958 Jean Dessès Haute Couture Documented Pink Ruched Silk Chiffon Goddess Gown
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
An absolutely breathtaking, well-documented Jean Dessès attributed pale pink ruched silk-chiffon goddess gown dating back to his 1958 spring/summer collection. This incredible dress was sold at Gandini which acted as a couture retailer authorized to sell Paris haute couture for clients who couldn't travel to Paris for multiple fittings. Along side Christian Dior and Chanel, Jean Dessès is one of the most important designers of the 20th century and was a designated Haute Couture house under the official Chambre Syndicale de la Couture. Fashioned from exquisite pale pink silk chiffon, this beauty has everything you look for when searching for this designer. The one-shoulder nipped waist bodice has fully boned corsetry with intricate hand pleating. The hourglass nipped waist flows into yards and yards of additional hand-pleating. This work must have taken weeks to complete. My favorite design element is the asymmetric draped backside. So glamourous! The craftsmanship is simply amazing; the concept reads so modern and looks sensational when you walk. A gorgeous one-of-a-kind custom couture gown that would definitely make an unforgettable bridal or red carpet look. Measurements Bust: 32-33 inches Waist: 24 inches Hips: up to 36 inches This incredibly rare Jean Dessès haute couture...
