Hand-sewn Dress, 1950s, Silk Brocade, Referenced And With A Lavallière Collar.

Beautiful made-to-measure dress, likely from a 1950s haute couture or luxury bespoke design, in black silk brocade. Handcrafted: the interior edges and the way the black silk satin lining is attached to the dress indicate meticulous workmanship. These stitches are the hallmark of handcrafted production, far removed from modern industrial standards. NOBLE MATERIAL OF THE BLACK SILK BROCARTON FABRIC WITH BAROQUE MOTIFS IN RELIEF, VERY EXPENSIVE AND VERY PRICED FOR COCKTAIL DRESSES OF THIS ERA. THE LABEL SEWN TO THE DRESS, BEARING THE HANDWRITTEN INSCRIPTION "F 135 O 4342" IS NOT A BRAND LABEL, BUT A PROFESSIONAL INVENTORY REFERENCE. This type of marker marking is typical of large costume collections (theater, opera, cinema) and allows for the identification of a historical piece within a collection. The presence of a metal zipper and safety hook in the back is characteristic of high-quality clothing made in the 1950s. To maintain the 1950s "cocktail" style, the dress comes with a matching cravat that you can use as a cascading bow or a tie accessory for a complete look. Dimensions: Bust / 90cm Waist / 83cm Hip / 95cm Length / 92cm Cravat / Length: 1.20m
