BARBRA STREISAND Owned and Worn
#4349 - c. early 1960's Iconic Custom Cream
Sequin and Silk Satin Sequined Trimmed in Black Sequins Sailor Evening Suit!
Comes with COA Signed by Barbra! From Barbra's 2004 Auction to benefit
her Streisand Foundation, comes this incredible, iconic evening sailor
outfit!!! This 2-piece gown is from the same era as those Barbra wore during
her first concert at the Cocoanut Grove and on the Judy Garland Show...
only this one is fancier! I'm not sure exactly where she wore it, but it's
certainly something with enough research you will likely find out for
yourself. So rare to find any Streisand pieces available. Even more rare to
find one SO identifiable as "Barbra Streisand". Cream silk satin long skirt
with sexy 22" side slit and rear zipper. Meant to be hidden grosgrain waistband
is slightly boned. Matching cream silk sailor style "v" neck top heavily
embellished with cream and black sequins featuring an affixed decorative
sequined tie and upper front snap closure and side zipper. Both pieces weighted
at bottom hems, so perhaps wore for outdoor concert??? White lining. There is
sequin losses (auction called it minor sequin lose, but it's most than I'd like.
Also the sequins on one sleeve are slightly warped, or melted like Barbra got
too close to a hot stage light!). Still in Excellent condition for a rare museum
piece. Wearable if you must. Please be careful, and treat with museum respect.
But heck, if you are hosting a Streisand event, it's a must! Measures: Skirt:
26" waist, up to 38" hips, 42" long. Top: up to 36/37" bust. Note: it's
creamier than shown in photos. NOTE: Barbra
Streisand's Superman T-shirt (yes folks... a T-shirt!) sold for $6,000 and the
signature sailor top (just the top) at left sold for $28,800!! At another
auction at Christie's in May 2007, a two-piece orange gown from "Funny Girl"
sold for $33,600!
