The skirt is exceptionally well made and is composed of a man made georgette-type fabric in the most fabulous shades of purple, lilac, white, grey and pink. It is completely lined in a quality cream acetate and fastens to the side with the original purple metal zip as well as hook and eyes. The skirt length will be ankle length or just above on the average height woman. The top is a sleeveless, front fastening, tie wrap that crosses over at the bust. It wraps around the waist and could be tied at the front or the back depending on preference. The top is not lined. This set has lost its original designer or retailer label but it is incredibly well made. We suspect this came from a very high end British fashion house due to the craftsmanship which is at couture standards. Condition wise it is excellent - there are no issues of any note.

The belt buckle fabric has darkened with age, again very minor but could be recovered with matching fabric from the seam allowance if desired. The dress has a very slight colour variation towards the bottom hem on the front which is very difficult to see and only in certain lights. Some fraying to a seam on the lining which of course is not visible. Of note, it's a very petite size and we estimate that this dress is a size UK 6-8 or US 2-4 and would proportionally suit someone under 5'5\".

The inner dress, complete with its own back fastening zip closure, is a sheath style and could easily be worn separately as a dress in its own right.

The dress features a scalloped edge trim to the top of the bodice and three sets of darts leading down from the bust to nip in the waist, creating the classic '50s fitted shape. The skirt has two pockets, both silk lined and pleasantly deep for what you might expect of a vintage piece. The interior of the dress is also lined in champagne silk, which soft to the touch. The boning to the front of the bodice is beautifully intact, providing shape and structure to the bust area. The brocade fabric is lovely and thick, with a real quality feel to it.

It has a simple rounded edge collar and a straight seam running down the back.  Both the dress and the jacket are in very good vintage condition with no issues and are unlabelled French couture. At some point the dress has been let out along the side seams but it has been done very well and is only noticeable on close inspection. It looks as though there may have been a lining in the jacket as the dress is lined is silk, and the jacket is unlined. You can see the rough workings inside the jacket, especially when compared to the stunning lined interior of the dress. The suit would best fit up to a size 8 UK, or 4 US. It would make a wonderful alternative wedding outfit or for a special occasion piece. Our model is a UK 6-8 and 5ft 4in.

The straps themselves tie at the shoulder, and each side features a metal and acrylic Versace medallion with the famous Medusa head logo stamped in the centre.

His designs, which graced celebrities from actress Rita Hayworth, to former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, to ballerina Margot Fonteyn, contributed much needed panache to an era of post-war prosperity. Although there were criticisms, particularly by feminists, of his extravagant use of fabric and his decorative use of restrictive corsets and crinoline, Dior himself described the \"New Look\" as \"youth, hope, and the future.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBLOUSE\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBust - 40 in.

It's quite possible that these floral panels are earlier prints from the 1960s. It has a lovely soft purple rayon lining and four fabric colour buttons running down the front, with a classic pointed collar. The skirt has a 1.5-inch-wide plum purple waistband with the fabric gathered around the waist to create volume, and the inside is lined with a fine silk organza. It is finished with a wide plum purple strip around the hem, matching the colour of the waistband, and fastens with a rear central original metal zip and two hook and eye closures. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe ensemble could be worn together, or as separates, and are perfect examples of the playful approach to dressing which dominated the mid-70s. This is a British couture made set constructed to a very high quality. Both pieces are in great vintage condition, with no flaws or stains to note, and would best fit a size 8-10 UK, or 4-6 US.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMEASUREMENTS (Waistcoat\/Jacket) \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBust - 34 in.

Architectural detailing abounds in the construction of the suit jacket. Tailored to the silhouette that the designer became known for, the suit jacket draws in the waist and adds volume around the hips - emphasising and highlighting the feminine figure. A single snap closure and hidden zip secure the front, finished with Mugler’s angular silver zip-pull - instantly recognisable to those in the know. The famous curves of the Mugler silhouette are echoed in the construction of the cuffs and two faux breast pockets. The skirt is cut to a high-waist, knee-length fit from coordinating royal blue cloth. It fastens at the rear with a tonal hidden zip and exposed silver snap closure.

His ready-to-wear pieces were just as spectacular in workmanship and, of course, with prices to match. His secondary line was known as 'Active' and was replaced with 'Mugler' in 1993\/1994. While prices were lower than his mainline collections, pieces were still made to a very high quality in Italy until 1993. The signature Mugler look was retained with trademark asymmetrical cuts, heavily padded shoulders, tiny waists and skinny trousers but in a way which looked more casual and comfortable to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJACKET\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBust - 36 in.

Rife with symbolism representing Bacchus, the Roman god of agriculture, wine and fertility, signs of revelry abounded throughout the runway show. Floral prints and damp-hued fabrics were sabotaged with grass stains and red wine spillage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ensemble is an iconic piece of Vivienne Westwood trophy vintage and would be a great addition to the archive of any collector of this label. Made in Italy, both pieces are tailored from coated linen with a stiff, waterproof effect and a canvas-like handle. The print is taken from an Elizabethan wallpaper design. Rendered in a deep aubergine purple, it shows winding, interlaced vines and fantastical florals. Faded burgundy stains smatter the pale ecru background of the cloth, as though the wearer has spilled glass-upon-glass of red wine whilst dancing. The jacket is tailored to a long length with a nipped-in waist. The cropped panel at the back recalls riding jackets - tailored to fit around a saddle. It has a single wide lapel and in-seam pockets at the front. The jacket fastens with three gold buttons engraved with Vivienne Westwood’s instantly-recognisable Orb logo. The trousers are cut to an extra-long length and are gathered in an erratic manner at the bottom hems so that they pool at the floor around the feet in the deconstructed way that is the brand’s trademark. The waist is narrow and is secured with a hidden white zip and a logo-engraved gold button. There are slip pockets in the side seams and all of the stitching is in pale pink cotton. Both pieces are unlined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese collectable trousers and jacket are in excellent vintage condition with no flaws. The composition label states that they are 80% Linen, 20% Viscose. The jacket is labelled a UK 12 and the trousers are labelled a size UK 10 but vintage Westwood clothing runs very small by today's standards. The fabric has no stretch. Our model is a UK 6, US 2 and 5ft 9 in. (163 cm) and these were tight on the waist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJACKET\u003cbr\u003eBUST: 31 in.

It is composed of a halter-neck top, a high-waist skirt and removable sheer top layer, alongside a coordinating jacket. The halter-top is generously cut from fluid jersey in a draped, bustier style which fastens at the back with three polished black buttons. There is a keyhole cut-out at the rear, where the loose fabric is cinched by a thick waistband that buttons at the bottom of the back. This top is secured around the neck with a thin fabric rope embroidered with gold feather stitch. It is lined at the bust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe theatrical skirt is cut to a flowing maxi-length and has a high-waist secured by a tonal zip and hook-and-eye clasps. It has slits at both the front and rear that are trimmed in thick gold embroidery. It is unlined. The skirt has the stunning addition of a sheer top layer that can be removed. Tailored from a feather-light, sheer black neck, this layer is split into two halves that fall over the sides of the black maxi-skirt, anchored by a band that sits around the waist. The net is embroidered with beautiful vines and florals in palest pastel blue, pink and green interspersed with shimmering metallic silver thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ensemble is completed by a lightweight blouson jacket in matching black jersey. It has a dramatic batwing cut with large, sweeping angel-sleeves - a signature of the label. Each cuff is secured by a single polished black button. The jacket closes at the front with a single button at the neck and a drawstring tie at the waist. The seams are finished with a swirling running stitch in glittering gold thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is extremely difficult to find Bill Gibb designs from his pivotal 1970s collections in such flawless vintage condition as these. We can find no repairs, holes or stains and the whole ensemble is very fresh looking. Truly worthy of a museum acquisition or for the serious private collector, Bill Gibb designs are held in every major fashion museum worldwide. The fabric is labelled as 100% Cupro, and the embroidered net layer is 95% Viscose, 5% Metallic. It is labelled a UK size 14, but this would be better suited to sizes up to a UK 10-12 or US 6-8.

The dress has a shift cut; an effortlessly chic, fluid silhouette with a very slight nipped-in waist and pencil skirt. The fabric on the jacket and at the top of the dress is detailed with geometric shapes formed by pleating the cloth and embroidering it with tonal thread.
