TRUE VINTAGE CUSTOM-TAILORED 1930’S/1940’S BEADED, BIAS-CUT GOWN

IMG_1663A sapphire blue gown, with cutout detail at the front and back V-necklines, with seed-bead embellishments.  All hand-done in bias-cut rayon, so the drape is fabulous!

It’s another squeaker to get into, so Stella is in her element.  A side waist opening closes with hooks and eyes.  You can just see the belt that ties in back to cinch the waist even further.

Pleated elbow-length sleeves complete the design and careful piecing makes sure that it follows every curve . . . . . . .

ANOTHER TRUE VINTAGE MID-CENTURY WONDER FOR A DRESSY EVENING – PURE SILK SHEATH

IMG_1657Compared to yesterday’s beauty, this frock is a cut above in several ways.  Pure silk fabric and complex draping and ruching make a truly stand-out bombshell dress design.

From a small designer label, it would have been made in the late 1950’s to very early 1960’s.  Couldn’t be more sensational with it’s attention-getting cut and flattering fit.

Just right for strutting your inner Sexy Siren.  This is a Marilyn Monroe dress if ever there was one. . . . . . . . .
