Size: small

Condition: excellent

A rare and extraordinarily beautiful Martha Weathered pleated red silk chiffon one-shoulder grecian goddess gown dating back to the early 1960’s. This dramatic look exudes timeless elegance and impeccable craftsmanship. Martha Weathered’s shop, known for its exceptional curation of imported French fashion, was a cornerstone of Chicago’s Michigan Avenue, revered for offering garments that blended timeless European elegance with the flair of American design. This dress in particular definitely channels the work of courtier Madame Grès. 
This gorgeous garment features a structured bodice that gracefully supports the bust, while asymmetrical chiffon drapes off the shoulder and waist, cascading dramatically down the length of the dress. The fluidity of the fabric contrasts beautifully with the structured form, creating a balanced yet dynamic silhouette. The stunning micro-pleating creates a stunning visual texture that dances with movement, making this piece as visually striking as it is finely made.
With its bold, timeless ruby-red color and the exquisite artistry behind its design, this Martha Weathered dress is a truly majestic piece. This look offers a direct connection to the golden age of American couture.
