ELUSIVE & EXCLUSIVE EXTRAVAGENT VINTAGE GOWN BY C. RANDALL BROOKS
RUCHED BLACK TULLE IS EMBELLISHED WITH RED EMBROIDERED HEARTS AND EDGED IN RED SATIN RIBBON
PRISTINE VINTAGE CONDITION
ONE-SHOULDERED CURVE-HUGGING SILHOUETTE IS ENHANCED WITH THE SINGLE RUFFLED SLEEVE AND OPPOSING SIDE RUFFLED EDGE THAT ENDS IN A CURLY RUFFLED HEMLINE
A MUST HAVE for the serious collector, this incredible vintage gown was created by C. Randall Brooks, friend and designer to Veruschka's muse. His prominance in Verushka's career and life is evident by a cursory online search (i.e. google, ask) of the famed model's history and career. Not only is this gown exclusive and rare... it is in pristine condition - ready to wear. Cause a sensation in this unique and incredibly elaborate evening gown.
The gown is a confection of ruched and ruffled tulle, which is intricately worked over a black satin interior. The tulle is finely ruched all around the gown, with a lean and form-fitting narow silhouette.
The gown has a single shoulder on the right and is strapless on the left side. There is a deeply ruffled "sleeve" on the right, which is made from three layers of sheer tulle, with the embroidered red heart layer on top, then a stiff interior black layer with another layer of solid black tulle beneath. These three layers are held together by the red satin ribbon edging, which has some wiring to give it curly volume and structure.
There is a deep left side ruffled edge running from the waist all around to include the hem. The side ruffle is two-sided, and there is a ruffled edge on both sides of the left sideseam zipper. The zipper ends at lower hip height, and the double sided ruffle continues the length of the dress to split at about knee height to form the hemline ruffle. All of the ruffled edges are edged in the red satin ribbon, which has structure from a wired interior.
The gown has an interior grosgrain "couture" ribbon at the waistline, which closes with a wide black metal hook closure. The lining is a black satin.
Don't let this unique vintage treasure get away... you may not have the opportunity to own a gown of this provenance again!
