Charles James was known for the architectural designs of his gowns and he rarely used embellishment. This gown is an exception with it’s elaborately beaded and draped bust and relatively simple silhouette.

This evening gown is an elegant and understated example of 1950s couture. It is made of navy satin with a matching stole, and has carefully crafted pleats and draping details which show the influence of the French couturier Christian Dior
