ISABELLE GERHART HOUSTON | 14 | BECKY BISOULIS Ivory Gold Lace Vtg Wedding Dress

This is a stunning dress that can be dressed up or down depending on your needs & style. Excellent condition with no issues to note. Lace is deliciously soft and flexible, making it comfortable enough even for casual “everyday” wear, but elegant enough for a beautiful boho wedding dress. Sizing is a vintage 14 which appears to be close to a modern size 4 or medium. I’m not sure the origin of this dress as I’m selling for a new client in NYC with excellent vintage taste, but it has tags from both designers Isabelle Gerhart & Becky Bisoulis who are known for creating elevated, luxurious pieces. More below 🪩 - - Isabelle Gerhart: It's been an adventure that has taken her to New York several times a year and to Europe regularly to buy the gowns which Houston's social set has worn to a host of charity balls and presidential and gubernatorial inaugural balls. Ima Hogg shopped at her store. Nellie Connally and B.A. Bentsen still do. Actresses Debbie Reynolds, Elizabeth Taylor, Ginger Rogers and Lisa Hartman have been known to drop by. Becky Bisoulis: She sold the pieces to Ultimo, an upscale designer store, and shortly afterward a three-piece bridal ensemble was snapped up by Henri Bendel. In 1976, she launched Becky Bisoulis Inc. Bisoulis’s signature was combining lace with unusual fabrics such as suede, cashmere, terry cloth, tweeds and silk to create her romantic dresses.
