Vintage 1960s La Dolce Vita LBD black cristobal balenciaga style

Vintage 1960s “Shannon Rodgers for Jerry Silverman” at Robinson’s perfect black cocktail dress. SUCH an Italian widow vibe, yes? This maker was known for Americanized versions of Cristobal Balenciaga designs. Shannon Rodgers got his start costuming for film director Cecil B. DeMille and it shows! Wide v-neckline with elbow length flounce sleeves that feature a bow and dotted Swiss tulle gathered underneath the flounce. Darted seams, nipped in waist and back metal zip. There are 2-3 flaws in the fabric of the skirt, as pictured. Visually it has a “marring” effect, larger than a thread snag but does not go through the fabric. I had to lighten the photo tremendously for them to show up, so it’s really hardly noticeable IRL. Size Smedium — I’d say it is a modern 6/8 but please compare the measurements to your own. Bust measures 35”, waist 29”, and hip is 39”. Shoulder to hem length is 37”.
