1970s Givenchy Purple & Chocolate Silk Applique Dress Shrimpton Couture GIVENCHY PARIS Vintage Hot Pink 60s 70s Sleeveless Asymmetric Dress GIVENCHY c.1970s Haute Couture Silk Floral Print Sheath Dress Numbered GIVENCHY PARIS Vintage Hot Pink 60s 70s Sleeveless Asymmetric Dress. This is one of my favorite Givenchy pieces that I have had in the shop to date. Striped pieces are always a great choice in my opinion and the colors on this set are wonderful. It is a set that is made up of two pieces. This makes it very versatile allowing you to get the feel of a dress when they are worn together or mix and match with other pieces you have already. The vivid colors and bold stripes make for a tremendous impact and I love that strong pop of pink. The top is made of a semi sheer silk cotton voile and the fabric choice gives it a pretty lightness and just a touch of sheerness. It buttons up the front and has a tie running through the waist so that you can cinch it in for added shape. The sleeves are long and slim and the collar pointed. This tops a long A line skirt whose striping is set to run the same way, but the fabric used in its construction is different from the top. The skirt is made from a matte silk twill and this combination of fabrics give the set the perfect contrast in finishes. The waist of the skirt if fitted and then it is cut so that it widens out in volume as it nears the hem. Really a showstopper and an extraordinary set. Excellent condition Both pieces are unlined with very well finished interiors. The top buttons at the front and cuffs and ties through the waist. The skirt closes with flat hook & eye at the waist and a zipper below that. The top is tagged a 36 and the skirt a 38.
