1950's Michael Novarese Couture Blue Green Floral Silk-Brocade Sculpted Dress

About the Item

Early Michael Novarese garments are incredible rare and hardly go up for sale. In this gorgeous late 1950's blue green floral print silk-brocade party dress, the detailed construction and meticulous attention to detail are comparable to what you will find in modern couture. The bodice is an elegant low-cut scoopneck with little cap-sleeves. I love the sculpted hourglass nipped-waist design! The tulle-lined full tulip skirt totally channels the perfect "New Look" silhouette so celebrated during this era. Stylish, feminine luxury will never go out of style. Measurements Bust:32-33 inches Waist:25 inches Hips:Swing Sweep Total Length:42 inches This Michael Novarese designer couture dress is in excellent condition with no rips, stains or holes. Perfectly working back metal-zipper. This item is over 50 years old and is truly stunning.
