In 1968, Hubert de Givenchy launched his Givenchy Nouvelle Boutique label. The shape and design of this dress is likely from the very early years of the label, and may even be part of his first collection; it has a definitive 1960's empire waist sheath dress style. It's a beautiful apricot colored dupioni 100% silk dress, fully lined with coordinating silk fabric. The bodice is an inverted V high empire in the front that drops into a deeper V in the back, ending just at the natural waistline. The bodice is quite fitted, especially through the bust. The skirt of the dress falls into the slightest A-line flare. It has a 20" back center metal zipper. The metal teeth of the zipper are actually colored to match the dress and it's hand-stitched. Made in France. It's in excellent condition other than a tiny, faint pen (?) mark just below the waist on the left side of the dress.
