  • 1950's Mingolini Guggenheim Couture Pink Pleated Silk Strapless Gown

    A gorgeous mid-century formal gown by the nearly impossible to find Italian couturier Mingolini Guggenheim. As you can see, this designer was heavily influenced by Christian Dior and any French inspired fashion pieces from this period are true collector items. The fabric used is of the highest quality; mid weight champagne pink silk-faille with the finest interior boned corset. The bodice of this gown is an alluring pleated strapless that showcases a woman's captivating bustline. The fitted nipped-waist with bow detail gives the garment the most flattering silhouette. The full-skirt construction emphasizes a woman's seductive shape without adding any bulk or volume to the actual hips. This is the ballgown you will reach for anytime you want to look and feel timeless.

    Measurements
    Bust: 32-33 inches
    Waist: 24 inches
    Hips: Free Sweep
    Length top to waist: 9.5 inches
    Length waist to hem: 42 inches

    This 1950's Mingolini Guggenheim Italian Couture gown is in excellent condition with no rips, holes or alterations. Perfectly working handset back metal-zipper. Gorgeous interior corset boning. The inside skirt is lined in tulle and all hand-finished. Only sign of wear is minor wear by the underarms and a few tiny spots on the skirt that get lost in the folds. Please message for detailed pictures. Presents beautifully. A rare wearable investment piece that will only go up in value.
