A B O U T 

This exquisite 1960s mirror-blue shantung silk evening gown by Jean Lutece captures the refined glamour of mid-century Hong Kong couture—a period celebrated for its impeccable hand-embroidery and luxurious custom tailoring. Rendered in luminous, icy blue silk with the subtle slub characteristic of fine shantung, the gown’s silhouette is elegantly elongated, balancing a structured bodice with a graceful A-line skirt that skims the body with effortless poise.

The bodice is a true work of artisanal craftsmanship, lavishly hand-beaded with scrolling silver soutache, sparkling crystal florettes, and turquoise cabochons that catch the light with jewel-like brilliance. The embellishment cascades across the sleeves and upper torso before reappearing in a coordinated motif along the hem—lending the gown a harmonious, couture-level finish. A self-fabric bow defines the waist, highlighting the gown’s feminine, sculpted shape. Fully lined and impeccably constructed, the gown closes with a back zipper and features the Jean Lutece — Custom Tailored in Hong Kong label, a hallmark of the high-quality bespoke garments produced for American boutiques during the 1960s.

In excellent condition, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear to your next event.
