👋 A B O U T

Stunning 1950s cocktail dress by Samuel Winston Inc. in emerald green soutache braid lace, constructed entirely from continuous loops of cord worked into a dense scrolling pattern — a technique requiring exceptional skill and producing a fabric of remarkable three-dimensional texture. The silhouette is pure mid-century glamour: a sweetheart neckline with open soutache lattice at the shoulders and straps, a fitted bodice, nipped waist with interior grosgrain stay, and a fishtail hem that flares dramatically below the knee. Fully lined in matching emerald green silk taffeta. Center back metal zip.
Samuel Winston was one of New York’s premier mid-century ready-to-wear designers, producing sophisticated occasion wear that rivaled custom dressmaking in construction quality — the interior finishing here, grosgrain waist stay, and silk lining, is entirely consistent with his standards. One of the most fabulous green cockail dresses the ever grace the halls of Xtabay. In overall excellent condition, freshly cleaned and ready to wear.
