MICHAEL NOVARESE - 1960s Embroidered Organza Party Dress, Size-2

A beautiful 1960s Michael Novarese cocktail dress in luminous peach silk organza, featuring a fitted, structured bodice with delicate spaghetti straps and a dramatically full, rounded skirt. The skirt is lavishly embroidered with ivory floral sprays, scrolling blossoms, and a scalloped fish-scale border that creates an especially intricate finish at the hem. The contrast between the softly sculpted silhouette and the delicate embroidery gives the dress an elegant mid-century couture character. Michael Novarese was a prominent Los Angeles designer whose work dates from the 1960s onward, and contemporary textile publications specifically document his use of embroidered silk organza in the mid-1960s.
