Excellent condition and very rare

Rome established in 1947 by Princess Giovanna Caracciolo Ginetti and her friend Barbara Angelini Desalles

Note that it is lighter in real life

The furs being produced for Schiaparelli during this time were of the best quality and that quality still shows as even some 50 odd years later the pelts are soft and supple

The skirt is cut so that the outer silk organza layer has a wonderful fullness to it and seems to float over the inner lining

1970s Geoffrey Beene Chic Boucle Dress designer-ted-lapidus Excellent condition and very rareA gorgeous Geoffrey Beene dress with an amazing waffle weave boucle and fringe detailing. It zips down the front under that amazing fringe detail so once on you have the impression that it has no closures. The bodice skims over the body with short sleeves that have that same fringe treatment. The waist nips in slightly and the skirt is demure and close to the legs. The fabric is the true standout the knit has a distinctive 3D waffle pattern that
