A B O U T

Make an unforgettable entrance in this show-stopping early 1950s black velvet evening gown by De Michael Originals of California. The bodice is exquisitely tailored with a sculpted sweetheart neckline, wide shoulder straps, and dramatic accents trimmed in gold brocade. Hugging the figure through the waist and hips, the gown falls into a long, elegant skirt that elongates the silhouette with a side slit for easy movement.

The true pièce de résistance is the sweeping side drape —crafted in gold brocade, it cascades into a sculptural bustle-like detail, adding richness and dimension to the sleek black velvet. The contrast of deep velvet against luminous brocade creates a look that is both glamorous and bold.

Perfect for formal occasions, galas, or as a collectible piece of mid-century fashion history, this gown is pure Old Hollywood drama and sophistication. In overall excellent condition, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear.
