Click on image for additional photos!#4346 - c. vintage DONNA KARAN Original Sample - Not for Sale Dress Black Jersey and Silk Taffeta Cocktail Dress OWNED BY BARBRA STREISAND! I was lucky enough to attend the Barbra Streisand auction recently and scoop up a few of her dresses. For the premier Barbra pieces, please visit the Memorabilia or Museum section of this website! Meanwhile... how often can you find a Donna Karan sample dress... and owned by a celebrity of Barbra's status?? Once in a Blue Moon...so this must be your lucky day! NOTE: Extreme low cleavage (as Barbra likes it) to the viscose spandex blend jersey bodice (with built-in body suit) with attached wrap tie. The sleeves will look a bit better with some arms inside! :) The skirt portion is a very full silk taffeta. A great "little black dress" for those of you who love to show off what God (or your favorite plastic surgeon) gave you! Excellent condition. Measures: 21" long from waist to hem. Bodice is EXTREME low décolleté, so don't blame me if every man you meet stares at your breasts! Also Listed in the Memorabilia Section. $ 1,250.

[ORDER ITEM - #4359]
Click on image for additional photos!#4359 - c. 1930's Black Silk Velvet Gown with Bolero! Wow! Sexy black velvet bias cut evening gown with bolero jacket with ruffled short puffed sleeves which stripe black to white. Dress has black chiffon on top part of bodice which bolero covers when worn with it. The shoulder straps have been extended at the back with black elastic, which I will leave, but this allows for a longer waist and larger bustline. It's a quick change to take that out, if desired. Size you ask??? Well... since it's bias, it will stretch to fit a variety of bodies.. So.. if you are interested in this dress, please just email me your measurements (no cheating... get out the tape measure!) and I will let you know how it will work on you. Length about 57 inches, but will change depending on your size. Excellent condition. There is no closure at the front bolero... I just used a rhinestone bow pin (but it doesn't come with the dress). $ 285.

[ORDER ITEM - #3744]
Click on image for additional photos!#3744 - c. 1980's GALANOS Couture $4,000 Beaded Cocktail Dress! Possibly never worn. This dress is a work of art! Originally sold at the prestigious Martha's Boutique. I'm told this was originally sold for $4,000! I can't guarantee, or confirm that, but I would certainly not be surprised. Amazing quality dress with very special 3-dimensional beading! Please look at the close-up photos to see the extraordinary detail.. This is not a gaudy or flashy dress, it was designed for elegance... with unique zebra-striped sequins, tiny light colored wooden beads, antique gold beads, gold sequins. Lined in the softest silk. Padded shoulders. The entire dress looks hand-sewn, including the attachment of the lining. Museum quality. Excellent condition except for small areas that look as though there may be some beads missing, but it looks like the other areas of the dress where the muslin peeks through the beading for detail and effect, so it's hard to even spot.. and a restitching of the seam at the back (ass) necessary. Can't say I like my choice of necklace with this dress... I'm sure you can do better! How about amber? Or, heck, canary yellow diamonds? Measures: 34/35" bust, up to 31" waist, up to 38" hips, 37" long from shoulder to hem. $ 1,250.
Approx. - SIZE 6/8 (wide shoulders OK)

Click on image for additional photos!#4081 - c. 1950's HANNAH TROY Gorgeous Illusion Black Organdy Gown! Check through the old Vogue magazines and you will find full-page ads for Hannah Troy gowns. Must have been expensive. This gown has exquisite attention to every detail., including a pretty shoulder detail, and a spectacular two-tiered mermaid hemline. The gown material is a unique sheer organdy with a crepe texture - just exquisite. The underdress is a silky satin. The dress hugs the curves and the organdy over will give you an ethereal look. There is a hip satin sash that sashays as you do! Side nylon zipper (I'm told by the previous owner that they replaced the original sticky metal zipper). Excellent condition with just one double pinhead size hole in the organdy ruffle down the front side. Measures: 36" bust, 27" waist, up to 37" hips, 41" long from waist to hem. $ 845.

[ORDER ITEM - #4197]
Click on image for additional photos!#4197 - c. 1990's CALVIN KLEIN Hologram Sequin Dress! Do you like to light up a room when you walk through the door? This will make you the center of attention. I guarantee it! An extremely light-weight dress of sheer black chiffon with every inch covered with large hologram sequins! One shoulder design, side zipper, sheer chiffon slip under. I see 6 sequins missing, so if you take up the dress by one row of sequins, you will have all the sequins you will need to replace any that might fall off when worn (as all sequin dresses lose sequins). Measures: 35" bust, free waist, up to 38" hips, 39" long from shoulder to hem. Excellent condition except for the missing sequins. At your next party, YOU can be the mirror ball! :) Go try to find another dress as smashing! :) $ 745.

[ORDER ITEM - #3997]
Click on image for additional photos!#3997 - c. 1950's Deep Rose/Claret Heavy Satin Smoking Jacket! Practically one size fits all! Made in China. I was told this was worn by Miss California during the Miss America pagent. It DOES look incredibly cute on, but seems a wacky story. Who knows! Might be true! :) Nice quality! Get out the slippers and black satin pants! Lounge in luxury. This was likely a man's smoking jacket, but equally terrific for a woman. And because it's just a wrap style, will fit nearly everyone... the only important measurement is 18" across back between armseams - so measure your favorite jacket in your closet, and see if this will fit you! It can easily be worn large. Shown on a size 6 mannequin, she looks comfy, don't you think? Oh damn.... I just tried this on myself, and I look damn good in it as well! I should never try anything on, as I wonder if I should just keep it. Luckily the arms are way too long for me ( at 5'2") so I would need to tailor it, so.... it's staying up on the website while I try to grow longer arms! :) The jacket is claret red with a gold circular brocade design. It has black satin lining, lapel, and cuffs. (The belt doesn't come with it... just get a black satin ribbon!) Front pockets with black border. Measures: 18" across back between armseams 32" long from back neck to hem, 30.5" long sleeve from crick of side neck to end of cuff (have to measure this way as if you are small - as you can see, the shoulder seam will not be at your shoulder). Excellent condition with just some very light scuff marks on satin and extremely minor pulls. I'm being extremely picky!!! Labeled size 44. Would make a great gift! Could even be used by a woman as an outerwear jacket because it will be big enough to fit a sweater underneath. $ 345.
Approx. - SIZE 6-12 - or Men's size 38/39 S/R

[ORDER ITEM - #3704]
Click on image for additional photos!#3704 - c. 1950's ARNOLD SCAASI Red Silk Ballgown! After apprenticing at the house of Paquin in Paris, and working with Charles James in New York for over two years, Arnold Issacs turned his last name backwards and began designing his own clothing under the name of Arnold Scaasi. Scaasi's early forte was evening clothes, which cost around $495 for a dress. Both bold and lavish, evening dresses were made with dramatic, sweeping skirts and decorative tabletop necklines. Rarely were any of this clothes trimmed, relying instead on cut and fabric for decoration, a written in New York Fashion. This is not a Scaasi Boutique dress, the label is the original Arnold Scaasi. Striking red silk suitable for a princess yet with the sexy off the shoulder neckline leaving lots of empty skin for your Harry Winston ruby and diamond necklace. Huge balloon sleeves leave enough arm to show off the matching bracelet. Back metal zipper helps date this gown to the 50's rather than the 80's. Measures: 32" bust, 24" waist, 41" long from natural waist to hem. $ 795.
Approx. - SIZE 2/4
