1950s Harvey Berin blue silk satin cocktail dress (as-is)

Description

Gorgeous 1950s Harvey Berin steel grey-blue matte silk satin cocktail dress with a wonderful asymmetrical neckline. Unlined with a sewn-in crinoline. Metal zipper up the back.

label: Harvey Berin designed by Karen Stark, all silk

condition: sold as-is. Dress has not been cleaned and has faint spots. Only structural problem is the common holes at the point of each underarm seam, front and back of the dress (see photo). These can be patched and we leave this up to you the buyer. The side seams have been let out and traces of the old seam are visible with slight pulling at the darts around the waist. Dress comes with the original belt, but it is too small for the waistline as it is now.
