1950's Michael Novarese Couture Blue Green Floral Silk-Brocade Sculpted Dress

About the Item

Early Michael Novarese garments are incredible rare and hardly go up for sale. In this gorgeous late 1950's blue green floral print silk-brocade party dress, the detailed construction and meticulous attention to detail are comparable to what you will find in modern couture. The bodice is an elegant low-cut scoopneck with little cap-sleeves. I love the sculpted hourglass nipped-waist design! The tulle-lined full tulip skirt totally channels the perfect "New Look" silhouette so celebrated during this era. Stylish, feminine luxury will never go out of style. Measurements Bust:32-33 inches Waist:25 inches Hips:Swing Sweep Total Length:42 inches This Michael Novarese designer couture dress is in excellent condition with no rips, stains or holes. Perfectly working back metal-zipper. This item is over 50 years old and is truly stunning.

  • 1960s Tony Armstrong Raw Silk Turquoise Dress
    Located in London, GB
    This 1960s Tony Armstrong evening dress is cut in a classic and flattering column silhouette with a high rounded neckline and short, slightly capped sleeves. The front is very lightly embroidered with fine blue thread in a criss-cross pattern. This continues round to the back of the dress, where a concealed original metal zipper ensures a smooth and seamless fit. A pair of right and left darts to the front and back emphasises the waist. The fabric is a very fine quality peacock blue raw silk with a satin sheen to it whilst it is fully lined in a lilac coloured acetate. A best fit for around a UK 8-10 or US 4-6. Superb vintage condition and looks barely worn, we noted only a small area of discoloration to the lining near both the sleeve underarms but this is totally unseen when worn. Tony Armstrong was a British couture...
