Renato Balestra launched his couture label in Rome in 1958 and quickly gained international fame as a cornerstone of the Italian couture 'Alta Moda' movement. This incredible piece has been crafted from fine weighted silk satin in a delicious shade of emerald green. The piece is comprised of a fitted mini dress and elaborate over-dress that flips at the bodice and clips together with an oversized bow. The strapless gown features a crystal-encrusted sweetheart neckline that trickles down the skirt for additional bling. Fully lined and featuring interior bustier corset with boning in the bodice. Side zipper closure. Rare and absolutely incredible. In great condition with tiny imperfections from age such as light gem loss. Nearly undetectable.
