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.

  • Vintage 1991 Givenchy Haute Couture Green Pink Satin Strapless Jumpsuit & Jacket
    By Givenchy
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    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 bold jumpsuit ensemble, dating back to their 1991 haute couture collection, is a beautiful example of his brilliance. The fabric itself is a masterpiece; luxurious emerald-green and magenta-pink lined silk satin. I adore the boned strapless bodice with over-sized cummerbund belt. The flattering nipped waist met by straight-legged trouser pants create the perfect amount of drama to this timeless piece. The matching hourglass peplum jacket complete with wide lapel-collar and over-sized pockets finish this garment off with a perfect femme fatale vibe. With this ensemble, you have one complete outfit or amazing separates!
