About the Item

This stunning 1971 Loris Azzaro haute couture gown is made from taupe jersey with soft gathers under the bust that give it a clean, elongated shape. The neckline, waist, and cuffs are hand-embellished with gold metalwork, crystals, paillettes and beads, creating a structured focal point against the simplicity of the fabric. The long, sleeves generously gather at the wrists add a relaxed balance to the ornate detailing. It’s a great example of Azzaro’s early 1970s style—sculptural and glamorous. A very similar gown was photographed on French actress Michele Morgan. Best fits a 4 or 6. Measures approximately (unstretched): shoulder 14", 33" at bust, 29.5" at waist, 42" at hips, arm length 26" and 60" in overall length. Zips up back and secures with hook/eyes at back of collar. Hidden snap closures at wrists. Made in France. Good condition.
