Vintage 1950s Suzy Perette Couture New Look Dark Red Velvet Cocktail Dress

$300.00

This vintage mid-1950s rich dark red velvet dress by legendary mid-century company Suzy Perette is clearly Dior and New Look inspired! This quality mid-century ready-to-wear dress is constructed from a heavyweight deep red velvet and features a flattering square neckline, fit and flare profile and an accented velvet bow!

Pair it with heels or ballet flats for a look that's classic and timeless, suitable for cocktails, a black-tie occasion, or debutante ball.  

Suzy Perette was a collectible American label renowned for creating more affordable takes on Parisian couture designs beginning in the 50s in New York, using used high-quality fabrics and workmanship to create pieces in the style of Christian Dior's "New Look,". The head of the firm would often purchase the rights to incorporate certain notions of Dior designs into the company's pieces, making their clothing very similarly constructed, if not exact replications of the work of high-end designer fashion houses.
