Description

This wonderful Haute Couture suit is from the 1957-58 winter collection and comes from the closet of the original owner who commissioned it directly from the atelier

This particular dress is unusual and is also impeccably constructed

It closes with a hand set back painted metal zipper and the exterior lace closes over that and secures with hook & eye

Porter reminisced later that: "One night at Elaine's in New York I saw Betty Bacall and Jane Fonda both wearing the Faye dress

They are such a gorgeous and vibrant color and the decadence of the heavy coverage of sequins just adds to their luxurious appeal
