A refined example of 1960s Italian couture, this vintage Curiel Couture sheath dress embodies the understated elegance of Gigliola Curiel’s celebrated Milan atelier.

Tailored in black linen with a sharply structured silhouette, the sleeveless design is cinched at the waist and elevated by two rows of delicate sheer lace insets, adding subtle allure to the skirt. The craftsmanship speaks to its couture heritage — from the perfectly balanced seams to the hand-finished scalloped hem and luxurious full silk lining.

Finished with a concealed back zip, this piece represents the timeless sophistication that made Curiel Couture a favourite among European aristocracy and society women in the mid-20th century. Today, such dresses are prized as rare heritage couture and enduring examples of investment-worthy vintage fashion.
