This is a stunning set from the 1950s by the French Couture designer André Ghékière, Cannes. The fabric is satin silk in broken white with a fabulous orange roses print. This is the perfect example of the French couture in the 1950s, exquisite design and tailoring. The dress closes with a back metal zipper and is fully lined. Pictures talk by themselves! What a beauty!

Condition: Fabulous condition but note that we couldn't manage to completely remove the wrinkles. She has a tiny damage on the left armhole (view photo). A small sweat mark on each armpit, practically invisible, really not remarkable (view photo). No other issues at all! No no holes, no stains, etc.
