1960s Mr. Blackwell Custom Purple Velvet Evening Dress
Sold Out
Understated custom Mr. Blackwell. Okay, perhaps it is impossible as the color and "bling" belies our assertion. However, in the 1950's and 1960'S Mr. Blackwell was at times understated and even modest. This gorgeous gown sits design on the cusp -- immediately preceding the transformation to the designer whose pieces make a statement. Yet, here both the standard material, the fit, and the cut (including the full length sleeves) pays homage to his once modest designs. Beautiful Purple velvet dress by Richard Blackwell. Embellished sleeves with iridescent rhinestones glamorize the shoulder. Square neckline frames the decolletage and has a bust strap that hooks at back. Zips at back.

1960s Mollie Parnis Vivid Mini Dress
Sold Out
This fun and fantastic 1960's dress is one of Parnis's greatest works. (Worth seeing in person as pictures do not do the dress justice) Mrs.Couture staff is fighting over which model/actress will purchase this dress. Is it you? Parnis blends beautiful materials, such as taffeta and chiffon, used informal gowns with an extremely vibrant pint of white, pinks and reds in a mini dress! She also uses ruffle, often seen as conservative during the early sixties but my adding loose length to the Ruffle detail, she gives us a hint of the seventies carefree ruffle to come in the following decade. She places the ruffle at the high neckline, sleeve hems and to the skirt for additional volume. Attached full slip underneath the sheer taffeta printed fabric. Detachable coordinating fabric sash that is able to be tied at the waist. Dress closes in back with both a button (on sheer layer) and a zipper, hook-n-eye (on slip).
