George Stavropoulos was an amazing designer and to find his early work is already fabulous but to find a piece done at this level is just a treat. This gown is really museum worthy and is the third of three pastel color jewels to land in the shop recently. His clients, who included Elizabeth Taylor and opera singer Maria Calla, adored and cherished him for his ability to create stunning evening wear. His hallmark pieces were simple but with a masters attention to cut. He shunned overt ornamentation and instead focused on cut and fabric to convey the beauty of each piece. This is an amazing example of what he could create following that simple guideline. His pieces are almost always entirely hand made and most are made to demi-couture standards giving you incredible value for your money.

This stunning dress is an absolutely beautiful example of Stavropoulos' work and it is truly is incredible. I love how each of the chiffon gowns I have in the shop by him are all slightly different and have their own individual feel. The lightness and airiness created by the layers and layers of the pale lemon yellow chiffon is magical (in person the layers give it an even better hue - the photos don't quite capture the tone of the color the layering creates - it's even better in person). The fabric is cut on the bias and there are yards and yards used in the making of this dress. Incredibly, there are four full layers of silk used in the lining of the skirt alone and that is under the top exterior layer that also has yards and yards of fabric just in itself. The bodice of the under-dress  is simply cut with a scooped neck on both the front and back. This peeks through the top layer for the prettiest effect. That inner dress is suspended from the shoulders by tiny straps and then the entire dress flows outwards in yard of silk to the floor. The back closes with a series of tightly spaced, silk covered buttons and a long separate tie adds drama to the neck or can be used to cinch in the waist. The inner dress is currently tacked at one shoulder  and at one side to the exterior dress but you could if you wished undo those few stitches and wear these pieces separately as well. The top layer kind of wraps over itself at the front. Long and pretty sleeves that are made of a single layer of silk chiffon finish this lovely dress. It is so very pretty and fresh feeling - a girl will dance the entire night away in a dress like this. Excellent condition

Comprised of multiple layers of the yellow silk chiffon with a more opaque silk used for the inner most layer. Closes with a series of silk covered buttons down the back and buttons at each cuff. I see one teeny bit of darkening to the fabric on the back near the buttons (photoed). The volume of fabric efficiently hides this and I don't feel any of it detracts at all from this magnificent gown -  it may come out with one more cleaning. Bias cut so there is some play in the listed measurements - we have listed to the max they will go. The color is a slightly brighter truer yellow then photoed. Like fresh lemon meringue pie color.

Great fitting suit!
Size: X-Small, Color: Deep Grey (Stretch Fabric)
If you’re 5’8” 145lbs this review may help! I’m 12-14% BF, range 142-150lbs, 28-30” waist. I wear 30” inseam for pants, 40R suit but can fit 39R, 15/32 slim fitted dress shirts, small to medium fitted T shirts. I love the fit of the suit. The grey color and the texture of the fabric could be a little better. Seems the fabric isn’t a solid consistent look. A little textured I suppose. The jacket fits well and I love the stretch fabric for the armpit area. Makes it easy to put on and move around while giving a good fit. I think a little bit more room in the shoulders would be nice. The cut is a little off for me in the back of the jacket by the neck area. The vest seemed a little large but has an adjustable strap in the back. For the jacket pockets, you’ll have to carefully cut and pull the threads at the opening since they are sewn shut. I did notice a little wrinkling to the side front near the serratus. Could be the cut. For me if it was a little roomier by chest and tappered in more it would fit better. The joint where the sleeves meet the shoulder are OK. There are some wrinkles there due to imperfection with stitching. The sleeves come down past my wrist a little. My arm-span is square with my height for reference. If you have big biceps it might be a little tight. The pants fit perfectly for me. Good length with no excessive break when not wearing shoes. There’s some excessive break when wearing higher profile shoes. The stretch waist is nice for when you decide to eat and drink too much and still comfortable while sitting. I’ve not found a slim fitted suit like this before. Comfortable to dance around in also. If you have thick thighs it might feel a little tight. Wore the suit to a wedding and it was great. Can’t really complain for the price. Good luck!

Tie color, general review
Size: Small, Color: Grey
Great quality, love the thickness of the suit wearing it in the summer it wasn’t hot. Nice buttons, love the small extra gift. Would prefer a neutral colored tie that could go with anything rather than the red and white striped they offered with the suit. Pants fit a bit bigger, had to adjust it to my measurements but, all by all a good purchase!

Nice material, stitching. Fit was unorthodox.
Size: Small, Color: Light Grey (Stretch Fabric)
putting on the suit for the first time, pants first, I thought that I had gotten a steal of a deal! The fabric was of good quality, had a good amount of stretch and was just long enough for my long legs. (typically wear a 32/34, but cuff the jeans once). It was the top section that I had an issue with. The shape of the shoulder-to-neck area was very pointed. As someone that has almost no trap muscle, this meant extra fabric that sagged on the my shoulders and gave me an unkempt look and I'm not sure this is something that a tailor can fix easily. If you have a little more beef up top, this would probably work for you. I wish it would have fit differently because I was impressed by the quality.

Do not waste your time
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Black
Wow! Lol extremely disappointed. I ordered this suit based off of the size chart and my accurate measurements. It was EXTREMELY small. So small that I could barely get my forearm through one sleeve. Not even close to my measurements. And to top it off, it was delivered in a clear bag, exposing the contents to the carrier and possible package thieves. So unprofessional.

Affordable, Stylish, and Fast Shipping!
Size: X-Small, Color: Black
I was hesitant to order this suit for my son’s homecoming, but wow! The quality is outstanding, it fit perfectly with no alterations, and honestly looked better than an overpriced fitted suit. He received tons of compliments, and I’ll be ordering more soon. Plus, it arrived the very next day. Highly recommend!
