Circa 1968
France
Little evening dress in black tulle embroidered with spiral circles, unidentified haute couture dating from the late 1960s. Short dress with straight cut and large halter neckline trimmed with black silk tulle with long sleeves. The bottom of the dress is in pinkish parma nylon taffeta, revealing the embroidered black tulle bottom. Skilful embroidery applied with black silk soutaches and spiral rosettes highlighted with silver thread. Very fine hand-finished seams. No scratches. Please note that the black tulle on the bust has stopped (7 mm), which can easily be concealed with a brooch, the only flaw to note. Clean, wearable dress. Good overall colour and condition.
