Vintage 1930's Fashion Originators Guild Floral Print Silk Chiffon Gown & Jacket
About the Item
A gorgeous and highly collectable Fashion Originators Guild silk chiffon gown ensemble dating back to the mid 1930's. The Guild was organized in 1932 to protect its members from 'piracy,' which they said was an unfair and tortious invasion of their design rights. The beautiful fuchsia pink and green floral print against the dove gray background on the semi-sheer silk chiffon has a timeless allure that I find irresistible. The bodice has an oversized floral appliqué and the most fantastic short tiered sleeves. The dress comes with a matching over blouse which can be styled with other pieces in your wardrobe as well! This creative way of effortlessly layering to show depth is quite extraordinary. Definitely looks like a dress that would have inspired John Galliano when he was at Christian Dior! This figure flattering garment even has a waist belt for perfect fit. I love how the skirting skims the hip and flares out at the bottom with elegant pleating. We added many pictures so you could understand this masterful achievement. Such Great Gatsby style!
Measurements
Bust: 40-42 inches
Waist: 35 inches (belt can be used to make smaller)

This 1930's Fashion Originators Guild FOGA gown ensemble is in excellent wearable condition with no noticeable rips, holes or alterations. Presents beautifully. Garment comes with matching gray under slip. After close inspection we found some tiny spots and age wear to the original floral appliqué which could easily be replaced with a modern one. Please message for detailed pictures. This ensemble is over 90 years old and is truly spectacular.

- Vintage 1920's Martha Weathered Couture Pastel Silk Rosettes Filet Lace DressLocated in Beverly Hills, CAA breathtaking museum quality bridal dance dress dating back to the mid-1920's. Two layers are cleverly designed to complement each other; a fine filet-lace outer layer with a foliate design over an ecru silk-crepe slip layer embroidered with pastel silk-ribbon rosettes. The rosettes are positioned under the filet-lace design so that they appear to be the blooms of the foliate in the lace! The overall effect is quite spectacular, and the dress has survived beautifully over the years. A small designer label in the interior reading "Weathered Misses Shop Chicago", which was the one shop in Chicago able to import French couture. The original owner of the garment said the shop was able to do this by selecting the couture designs overseas. After making their selections, the patterns and materials would be shipped over for fabrication in their own workrooms, allowed them to sidestep the hefty import tax on already completed couture models. The design and construction are identity to Callot Soeurs aesthetic who was known for working with wealth American clients. A rare piece of ethereal fashion history that will become a favorite in your collection.
