Compared to Christian Dior, the work of Hubert de Givenchy has always been considered innovative and avant-garde, and this is clear in this long party dress made of white organza. This use of simple fabrics for designs of extraordinary quality, within their simplicity, was one of the defining characteristics of Givenchy from the opening of his fashion house in 1952, having completed his studies with Piguet, Lelong and Schiaparelli. The very fitted bodice has a rounded neck and is decorated with the application of needlework embroidery in the shape of floral designs, mechanical lace with similar motifs and applied daisies. The skirt is simpler, and is just slightly pleated. The dress is completed with a wide satin silk sash tied at the waist in a big bow.
