Description
made in Italy, a sleeveless dress of vertically woven rayon/nylon interspersed with metallic threading, creating slimming knife pleats, the front featuring a gentle draping centered by a beaded medallion. The outer garment, a sleeveless flowing cowl, asymmetric hemline, has extensive see-through metallic swaths.
Shoulder to hem 51 in.; Approximate size 6. Mannequin is a size 2.
From the personal collection of the late Israeli film actress and singer Daliah Lavi. Blessed with beauty and bursting with talent, the multi-lingual Lavi was truly an international citizen during the 1960s when she worked alongside such luminaries as Peter O'Toole, David Niven, and Woody Allen. One of her more memorable roles was in the James Bond spoof Casino Royale (1967).
In addition to a successful film career, Ms. Lavi enjoyed a 40-year marriage, her four children, and numerous grandchildren. She was a resident of Asheville, North Carolina at the time of her death.
