1970s Stavropoulos Couture Romantic Layered Silk Chiffon Dress designer-vicky-tiel A fine and rare example

A fine and rare example from this time period

Similar examples are held in The Met's and the Museum at FIT's permanent collection and this particular one is actually the twin of one of theirs

The fabric is a light weight knit whose color is a deep coral that has a fabulous gold lurex thread woven through the entire surface of the dress

The gown is amazing and the attention to detail shown in every stitch breathtaking

It feels like couture once on

1970s Stavropoulos Couture Romantic Layered Silk Chiffon Dress designer-vicky-tiel A fine and rare exampleThis stunning dress is one of the most incredible Stavropoulos gowns I have had in the shop. I love the lightness and airiness of it that created by the layers and layers of the mint green silk chiffon. In person, the layers give it a depth not quite captured in the images here. The photos don't quite capture the tone of the color the layering creates. Trust me when I say it is even better in person. It is also a touch more of a pastel tone in person.
