Pastel pink and yellow bustier dress in shantung. SIZE: 36 (Fr)

This two-in-one little black dress and jacket is by Mr John, a celebrated American couturier and one of the foremost milliners of the 20th century; his most famous costume designs being those made for Vivien Leigh in "Gone with the Wind," Marlene Dietrich in "Shanghai Express," Greta Garbo in "The Painted Veil" and Marilyn Monroe in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." Among the fashionable women who wore his designs were the Duchess of Windsor, Gloria Swanson, Gloria Vanderbilt, Lauren Bacall and Joan Crawford. The New York Times review of his 1956 fall clothing and accessories collection was "a gifted designer and skilled workman who produces some of the most original, wearable, flattering fashions to be seen anywhere." This evening ensemble was designed in 1956-1959 and tailored to an elegant silhouette with a nipped-in waist and mid-calf length skirt. Thick straps give way to a square neckline trimmed with layers of silk faille. A silver-tone zip and a hook-and-eye clasp secure the gown at the rear and a slit at the bottom hem of the skirt allows for easy movement. The bolero jacket is attached to the dress with large crystal-adorned buttons at the front. It is trimmed with silk faille at the collar and waist. Two pleated tails fall from the rear waist down the length of the skirt, adding a hint of theatre and taking cues from menswear traditions, in particular classic morning jacket...

This 1960s cocktail dress is intricately adorned with pale-aqua ruched manmade chiffon stitched in a scalloped pattern across the entire body, the resulting effect is soft and cloud-like; the only distraction the occasional ivory or blue pearl which trims the chiffon. Heavy beading and embroidery feature across the bust and continue onto the wide straps. Here, ombré vines made from dark grey-blue beads and pale blue stitching encircle light blue iridescent beads and pearls - decadent detailing that makes this gown a stand-out piece for any occasion. The chiffon is sewn onto the integral viscose blend lining to prevent the dress from being sheer. A parted Watteau train...
