1980s J. Tiktiner French Silk Floral Strapless Dress

About the Item

This is a colourful and extremely well made 1980s bustier dress by Tiktiner - a high-end Cote D'Azur fashion house which retailed at Berdorf Goodman and Harrods outside of France. The attention to detail is exquisite and rivals the very best fashion of the era. The dress has an extremely bright appearance and it's very painterly with the print of a summer garden in full bloom. The silk crepe de chine fabric is in colours of greens, pinks, purples, oranges and yellows. The dress bodice is structured and boned with an asymmetric sash sweeping down in a wide band towards the waist and finishing in a large tied bow which is attached on the left hip towards the back. The skirt then flares out in a circular fashion but has an additional wrap-over apron which is weighted on the bottom hem. The piece is lined in silk organza and the dress does up to the side with a concealed zip. It is in absolutely beautiful vintage condition. This dress will fit up to UK size 10-12, US 6-8 and smaller. MEASUREMENTS: BUST - 32 in. (81.3 cm) WAIST - 30 in. (76.2 cm) HIP - 37 in. (94 cm) LENGTH - 33 in. (83.8 cm)

1960s Jean Muir Silk Liberty Floral Print Dress with Scarf
By Jean Muir
Located in London, GB
This is a fine Jean Muir 1960s dress and matching tassel scarf and is without question, the best ensemble from this designer we have ever had in our collection. Early in her career, Muir worked with Liberty fabric and this striking psychedelic silk print could certainly be a Liberty design. It features a riot of bright purple, blue, orange, pink and green tones in a stylised paisley print. Each of the designs, contained in long rows of bands, is slightly different. The dress is a high shirtwaister design with an empire line bust, a low scoop neck and it fastens at the front with 18 fabric buttons and loops. There is a little upturned ruffle on the waistband and the skirt is gently gathered. The sleeves have a gathered cuff and upturned ruffle that echoes the waistline. The dress bodice is not lined; however, the skirt is lined in a quality pink viscose. Labelled a UK size 12, this is small in today's sizing and probably a better fit for a UK 8-10 or US 4-6. The accompanying scarf is a double thickness triangular shape with a row of hand tied purple tassels down one side. It is doubled sided with one print matching the dress while the other side is the same design but in a different colourway, focusing on blues, turquoises and orange. It's an absolutely beautiful piece worn alone or could could be styled either side to compliment or contrast the dress colourway. A very rare set indeed to find in superb vintage condition and from the very earliest part of Jean Muir's career. One for the serious collector, wearer of fine boho...
