White and Silver Ballerina or Wedding Dress with Removable Red Trim – XS, 1950s
Located in Tucson, AZ
Why not throw a little Hell-bent red into your virginal white dress? The silver filigree embroidery imparts a distinctly Nutcracker-Ballet-Snow-Fairy feeling, but the red implies pure “charm school dropout.” A lovely exercise in contradictions that would also make a precious tea-length wedding gown by simply removing the red fringe. Strapless sweetheart party dress with shelf bodice and split front triple-layer tulle skirt; flexible boning in front and back princess bodice seams. Silver metallic filigree embroidery around full circumference of shelf bodice and down skirt split, plus red tulle...

Fred Perlberg 1940s Black and Gold Evening Dress with Matching Gloves
Located in London, GB
This arresting Fred Perlberg late 1940s or early 1950s black chiffon evening dress with matching gloves is designed to turn heads on the dance floor. Part of its 'creator's lovingly titled range of party and dance dresses "Dance Originals", the emphasis on movement and show stopping glamour is evident in this piece. Thin spaghetti straps support a dramatic horizontal neckline , which is softened by chiffon arranged attractively over the bust line in a cross-over fashion. The bodice is corseted to accentuate the fairytale waistline, which details a simple piped seam before falling away dramatically into the floor sweeping skirt. The high-waisted skirt is fully lined, with a full-circle chiffon overlay. The fabric features a panel of gold sequin embellishment that comes into play just above the knee and runs parallel to the hem. There is a concealed zip fastening to the left of the bodice with a hook and eye closure. The sheer chiffon gloves...
