1990s Bespoke Lilac Crystal-Embellished Gown

About the Item

This is another bespoke creation from our fabulously wealthy client who had dresses made to order for her in the 1990s in France and Italy. Fashioned from a lilac spandex type fabric and featuring a deep v neckline, form-shaped bodice and vertical pleating. The empire waistline is gathered and with the volumous amount of fabric there is a pleasing weight to it. The embellishment on the dress is a mixture of dainty beaded trim backed onto tulle net encrusted with an assortment of crystals. In addition, there are two very large faceted crystal jewels in the centre of the bodice. At the back there is a floral applique which hides the top of the zip. In really excellent vintage condition, there are a handful of tiny abrasions in the jersey but as this is accordion pleated they're impossible to see when worn. Best fit for up to a UK 10 or US 6. MEASUREMENTS Bust - 32 in. (81.3 cm) Waist - 31 in. (78.7 cm) Hip - 39 in. (99 cm) Length - 58 in. (147.3 cm) Shoulders - 15 in. (38.1 cm)

  • 1970s Yves Saint Laurent Rich Purple Taffeta Ruffle Skirt Set
    By Yves Saint Laurent
    Located in London, GB
    Well documented, this is an absolutely classic and desirable piece of Yves Saint Laurent evening wear dating from 1978-1983. The designer revisited this look several times during the 70s and 80s and we feel that this is quite possibly an early 80s piece. In a beautiful deep purple hue of silk taffeta, this set has some lavish design details and very generous amounts of fabric in the ruffle collar and deep cuffs. The floor length skirt is full and has an unusual asymmetric ruffle flounce so that no length is equal, juxtaposing the formal blouse element. These ensembles always look great tucked in or accompanied by an original YSL rope...
