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.

    Givenchy, the name itself evokes glamour, refined elegance, simplicity and style. Givenchy's trademark of sculpted lines and luxurious fabrics make his work easily recognizable. This gorgeous cocktail, dating back to his 1990 Fall-Winter runway collection, is a beautiful example of his brilliance.
