Her fashion journey started when she went back to Venice after being exiled during WW2. She began to create embroidered items in her spare time and her speciality was scarves. They were noticed by a very well known Ventian boutique called \"La Piavola de Franca\" who went on to sell these shawls under their own label after signing an exclusivity contrast with Franca. In the 1960's she went on to produce her own collections under the label Creazioni Franca, and then later, under the label Franca Polacco, which this dress is one of. Popular with local boutiques as well some English and American suppliers. There are literally no other pieces currently for sale online that I can find and because her collections were always very limited editions, her pieces are very rare and don't come up often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gorgeous dress is made from an emerald green silk jersey fabric. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a plunging v-neckline with small collar and ruched gather pleating to the back of the halter neck. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a very open back and fastens to the side of the waist with a zip and two hook \u0026amp; eyes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is maxi in length with a double layered skirt that is split up the front panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLined from the waist down. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely stunning for a special occasion. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that the dress is being shown pinned to fit the mannequin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage sizes often come up smaller than modern day sizes.
