Powder Blue Organdie Fit and Flare Evening Dress

1950s · 1960s · French

This evening dress features a fitted bodice with a deep V-neckline and short cap sleeves, constructed from crisp organdie fabric in powder blue. The bodice is secured with a white sash belt at the natural waistline, creating definition between the fitted upper portion and the voluminous skirt. The skirt extends to mid-calf length with multiple layers of organdie creating substantial fullness and movement. The lightweight, semi-transparent quality of organdie gives the dress an ethereal appearance while maintaining structured volume. The construction demonstrates typical 1960s evening wear proportions with the emphasis on a defined waist and full skirt, executed in the refined French couture tradition of Lanvin under Antonio Castillo's direction.
