The ensemble is actually made up of two completely separate dresses which could each be worn alone.  The inner dress is cut from a lightweight silk crepe in coral red which has a V-neck and gentle sloping cap sleeves. The front is pleated at the waistband and flows down beautifully into a long straight skirt with a front kick pleat.  It fastens down the back with the original concealed zipper and is lined in a high quality colour matching viscose. Although stunning when worn by itself, this piece really comes into its own with the addition of the outer dress, which is adorned with a fabulous coral red ostrich feather trim. This dress is made of a mesh like, semi transparent georgette fabric and cut in a trapeze style with kimono sleeves and great flow and movement.

Fashioned from sumptuous black velvet, it has long-sleeves and a maxi-length skirt. The neckline is wide and elegant, revealing the collarbones. The bottom of the skirt and the sleeves are finished with long and plump black velvet tassels that sway as the wearer moves. These tassels are embellished with rhinestones that glitter as they catch the light. The wide waistband of this dress cinches the relaxed column tailoring and it too is dotted with rhinestones of varying sizes. The inside of this gown is lined with matte black silk throughout. It fastens at the back with a hidden tonal zip and hook-and-eye. It is finished with the “Guy Laroche Paris” haute couture label from this period which indicates that it is crafted in the Atelier - there is no machine finishing on it and the work was done by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis archival piece is in excellent vintage condition with no issues. Due to being couture made, it has no size or composition label, so please check the measurements below carefully. A best fit for a UK 8-10 or US 4-6 max.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote on Designer: Founded in 1957 by Guy Laroche, the Parisian house became known for its polished balance of structure and ease, reflecting a modern, confident approach to femininity until Laroche’s death in 1989. Laroche’s designs emphasised clean lines, thoughtful tailoring, and luxurious textiles, offering couture that felt both sophisticated and wearable, and were embraced by figures including Faye Dunaway, Sophia Loren, and Audrey Hepburn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBUST - 34 in.
