1950s Strapless Floral Silk Chiffon Helen Barbieri Dress designer-alexander-mcqueen Modern Sizing equivalent: XS-SML (2-smallHelena Barbieri pieces are magic. She designed evening and formal wear through the 1940s and into the late 1950s. Her work was always very feminine, with simple lines and using only the best fabrics. She then often added elaborate embellishments and detailings that took her dresses to a higher level and really gave them a touch of a Hollywood feel. I love finding her dresses because they feel rather timeless and stand up well to modern pieces even
