Vintage Givenchy Couture Magenta Silk Chevron Sleeveless Ruffle Bow Dress
By Givenchy
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Best known for his high-end, feminine silhouettes, French haute couture designer Hubert de Givenchy rose to international acclaim during the 1960s by creating signature looks for actress Audrey Hepburn. Maintaining a classic romantic elegance to his designs, Givenchy began experimenting with bolder colors and pattern options around the 1980s.
Done in a vibrant magenta silk organza, this couture dress was custom made at the Givenchy atelier in Paris. The dress features an incredible cascade of ruffles at each shoulder and a subtle chevron pattern done in alternating rows of smooth silk and basket woven silk. The woven silk provides contrast and texture while the chevron pattern itself creates a pleasing rhythm throughout.
The bodice begins with a flattering bateau neckline framed by short sleeves comprised of layers of wide, undulating ruffles. The ruffles are adorned at each shoulder with a large knotted bow for extra flair and femininity that flows seamlessly with the rest of the fabric. The bows are set slightly behind the high front ruffle on each shoulder, making them easy to miss at first glance, but delightful when seen from the side profile or back of the dress. The basket woven silk provides a sheer element to the ruffles that is further enhanced by the lower cut bodice at the back of the dress.
Size estimate: Small/Medium
Bust: 32 inches
Waist: 30 inches
Hips: 37 inches
Length: 55 inches
The bodice is finished with princess seams that reach from the bust to hip, complimenting the subtle A-line silhouette of this dress. The skirt falls to a maxi-length just above the ankles in a straight hem that is semi-formal and perfect for showcasing a beautiful pair of heels. Sophisticated and feminine, this dress is the perfect choice for a summer wedding, gala, or special occasion.

Red Satin and Rhinestone Button Coat Dress by Victor Costa Neiman Marcus Size 8
By Victor Costa
Located in Palm Springs, CA
This dress is the most perfect vintage class ic and chic thing to wear for a holiday party. We are a big fan of Victor Costa designs and this beauty was purchased at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills by the original owner. The coat dress is done in the style of the 1960s Classics. Think of Babe Paley, or Jackie Onassis, looking very chic in this coat dress.. it was made in the USA in the Dallas show rooms of Victor Costa. please note: only a portion of the designer label remains. It clearly shows that the dress was designed by Victor Costa, but the label is not intact. The dress is so beautifully made. It looks like a dress that cost thousands of dollars with the French buttonholes and French rhinestone...
