Description
Nina Ricci High Art--Enough Said.... From the catwalk of the Historic Ebony Fashion Fair hails this wearable high Nina Ricci Couture evening ensemble. In our 30 plus years of fashion collecting we have seen very few, if any, pieces of this quality, beauty, and wearabllity! This ensemble is true to couture fashion with its use of magnificent lace, silk, and other natural fibers. Boning in all of the rights places add to the structure of this wonderful work of art. The detail work and beauty in its form and stitch is apparent throughout. The bodice boasts elegant lace and flairs from a high in front to low in back. The lace covered bodice is beautifully scalloped along its edges. The bodice dips at the breast bone for a sultry look whilst the lace allows for a bit of innocence amidst this striking red piece of art! Bodice and skirt have zippered back closures.

1970s Lisa Meril Cream and Silver Floral Brocade Empire Waist Evening Dress
$555.00
Beautiful cream and silver evening dress by Lisa Meril. The dress is maxi length, with an empire waist silhouette, full skirt, and fitted bodice. The sleeves are long, with bell sleeves that begin to billow out at the elbow. The scoop neckline is rounded and reaches mid breastbone. The front of the skirt is pleated at the sides continuing the princess seams of the bodice, the back is fully pleated, giving the dress a wonderful amount of volume. Very ball, very wedding or just an event to feel regal!
The dress was designed by Jo Copeland for Richard Pacun’s “Lisa Meril” fashion label. Copeland’s work in the 1970s was fun and romantic, with opulent textiles and design details that would not look out of place in a Napoleonic painting or a Jane Austen novel!
