Vintage 1950s Harvey Berin Pale-Pink Lace Illusion & Silk Flounce Cocktail Dress

About the Item

Absolutely gorgeous Harvey Berin designer cocktail dress dating back to the late 1950's. I'm so in love with that pale blush-pink color! Harvey Berin opened his business in 1921, and by the 1940's he was an important name in women’s high fashion. His designer, Karen Stark, adapted the latest styles from Paris each season. I can definitely see the Christian Dior influence. As Karen Stark said, "I like to use beautiful fabrics and unusual trimmings. I design for everyone–but always very feminine women.” This ethereal pale blush-pink French Chantilly lace and silk satin cocktail is a perfect example of their genius. I love the elegant low cut scoop shelf-bust illusion boned bodice with duel side-bows. The hourglass nipped waist flows into a fantastic sculpted wiggle flounce. This dress would make such a lovely bridal or wedding guest look! The pictures say it all. Measurements Bust: 33-34 inches Waist: 26 inches Hips: up to 36 inches Total Length: 42 inches This Harvey Berin designer dress is in excellent condition with no rips, stains or holes. Perfectly working back metal-zipper and skilled bodice boning. A wearable investment piece that will continue to increase in value.

    By Saks Fifth Avenue
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Ethereal late 1940's Saks Fifth Avenue creme goddess gown from the Old Hollywood era of glamour. This stunning silk-chiffon garment has so much couture detail, you can tell it was made with expert devotion. The boned sweetheart plunge bodice is hand-pleated and hand-stitched into place with a unique asymmetric one-shoulder draped train. As pictured, there are a few different ways you can style the sash. Sparkling white glass-beads and sequins, in a gorgeous vine motif, cascade down the front. I love the hourglass nipped-waist which flows into a beautiful full sweep. Truly, this gown would have taken days to finish. A pure work of art and a study in dressmaking technique which reminds me of the famous Jean Desses. Breathtaking and timeless; I totally imagine this gliding down the red carpet!
