1960's Ice Blue Raw Silk Custom Dress by Estelle Allardale of Beverly Hills, custom tailor to Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe.
Play ultimate dress up and channel old Hollywood in this one of a kind, rare find.
The condition of this piece is amazing. It was well preserved but a little damage found its way to the blue silk lining at the bottom. There are a few tiny tears at the seam where the nude netting at the neck and upper back meets the fabric. Please use great care while wearing, or even better, replace the netting. If we were to keep her, we would do the same. Our pricing reflects this issue.
Fully lined in blue silk, her beading is exquisite with no missing pieces. The raw silk is in impeccable shape with no stains or fading and the fluted hem is so good.
Shoulder to shoulder 14", bust 32" cup size C/D, sleeve 14", waist 27", hips 36", length 54".
Modern size is XS/S and condition is Excellent As Is. She meets our high standards of clean so we opted not to have her antique dry cleaned.
