A B O U T 

A stunning example of 1950s American demi-couture, this Samuel Winston by Roxane cocktail dress combines sculptural elegance with richly tactile luxury. Crafted from a weighty midnight-blue silk blend overlaid with crimson flocked velvet roses, the textile alone signals its elevated pedigree—lush, dimensional, and unmistakably couture-influenced.

Cut in the iconic New Look silhouette, the dress features a beautifully molded bodice with cap sleeves, a modest bateau neckline in front, and a dramatic deep V-back that adds an unexpected sweep of sophistication. The waist is sharply defined with its original matching belt, while the full, gracefully flared skirt is perfectly engineered to create a voluminous, feminine line without bulk.

The floral velvet patterning is placed with intention, giving the dress a sculpted, painterly quality in motion. A crisp interior structure and meticulous finishing reflect the house’s reputation for fine custom-level work—Samuel Winston being celebrated for offering couture-standard garments to an exclusive clientele through their Roxane label.

A glamorous choice for winter soirées, holiday fêtes, and candlelit evenings, this dress is a rare and remarkably preserved piece of mid-century artistry. In excellent condition, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear.
