Important Early 1950's Hubert de Givenchy Pink Satin Dress

Hubert de Givenchy was the designer behind Audrey Hepburn's iconic style. An artful piece of fashion history, this lovely French dress features the earliest known Givenchy label and is hand numbered. Fashioned from resplendent pale pink silk satin, the dress has an extremely full skirt, embellished with two inserted panels striking out from the cummerbund that criss-crosses the front of the bodice, wrapping and closing at the rear with eye hooks. The satin gathers amazingly at the waist and along both the panels. The lining is sheer ecru fairy-like silk. This dress is worthy of the Belle of the Beau Monde.

Dress is shown with medium-sized crinoline in all pictures but the extended skirt shot . Skirt closes at rear with snaps and hook-and-eye.

Size: Small; Bust: 34"; Waist: 24 1/2"; Hips: Full; Length: 47" shoulder to hem.

Condition: Very good to nearly excellent vintage condition. A few pin holes on the bodice, one on the front, the others on the rear - the rear pin holes not noticeable when covered by cummerbund; slight fading on the rear bodice buttons. Dress is currently packed in acid free tissue paper and stored for preservation. All of our clothing is only available online, so wear and tear from trying on is not an issue! For those of you who have read this listing before, we have re-cleaned the dress at our couture cleaners and removed the small water spots. Slight fading in areas of the skirt~ very difficult to notice when worn. Overall, this ethereal collectible is crisp and beautiful!
