Balenciaga 1960s Haute Couture Metallic Floral - 13.5" W Purples A similar version in black

A similar version in black and white resides in the Museum of Bath and was displayed in 2013 in the exhibit "50 Fabulous Frocks"

This is one of several suits from her estate that I have had including this other Chanel suit that is available at the moment  (find that one here)

The bodice has seaming and that lace front detail to emphasize the bust line

A drop dead gorgeous and early Geoffrey Beene dress in an amazing combination of decadent black silk taffeta and a beautiful fine lace backed by a nude colored silk

bohemian feel to it
