The success of minimalist designers like Halston and Calvin Klein hearkens back to the 20s and 30s and designers like Madeleine Vionnet. The golden age of Hollywood, the days of Gilbert Rohde and Donald Deskey. Of art director Cedric Gibbons and his wife, Dolores del Rio. The world was chrome-plated and had curved edges - it wasn't round at all, Columbus, and style was about a bias-cut gown and just how scandalous your private life was. A royal blue rayon crepe gown with dramatic balloon sleeves trimmed in horizontal trapunto bands. High and smooth in front with a small, squared collar that lies against the breastbone, the back is slit almost the the waist and the emphasis is not as much on the entrance you make but the mystery of what you look like as you turn around and greet your fellow guests. The nape fastens with a row of covered blue buttons. If you have short hair, we think it would be great to get a Marcel wave and brush it out or if your hair is long, to pull it back into a very tight chignon. Keep the accessories to an absolute minimum - maybe gold Blahniks and a small gilded leather clutch. Bust measures 34", shoulder to shoulder 15.5", outer sleeve 18", waist 26" and hips up to 37" and length 59". Excellent condition. sold |
