1960s Jacqueline Godard Couture Black Silk Chiffon Dress Ensemble

About the Item

Designed by Jacqueline Godard in the late 1960s or early 1970s this elegant ensemble is formed of a slip dress and sheer, shirt-dress style top layer. Crafted from black finest silk chiffon, the pretty shirt layer has beaded cuffs, a double-layered skirt, a dramatic dagger collar and an open front from the waist up - cannily designed to reveal the beadwork on the slip underneath. The slip dress is tailored to a straight, loose silhouette which recalls ‘20s shapes and finished with delicate, pale mesh straps and a concealed zip at the rear. From the fabric-covered buttons at the sleeves to the intricate beading, this dress was fashioned from expert, haute couture trained hands in France. Would look good paired with a belt for a low luxe vibe. In excellent vintage condition with no faults of any note. A good fit for up to a UK size 14-16 or US 10-12. MEASUREMENTS SHIRT Bust - 40 in.

  • 1950s Ceil Chapman Black Silk Taffeta Full Circle Dress
    By Ceil Chapman
    Located in London, GB
    This is a brilliant example of Ceil Chapman's early work from the late 1940s to early 1950s and the black taffeta silk design is exquisite. Its the first thing you notice about this dress which has the most unusual construction. The skirt's textured element from a distance looks like a floral design but its actually a large number of circular pleated stitched designs. The way the fabric is pulled and stitched creates an almost 3D effect. We have never seen this work before but it would have taken a very skilled seamstress and an incredible amount of time to do it. The dress style is a classic shirtwaister design with three taffeta covered buttons to fasten the bodice which is beautifully shaped and Princess seamed. The sleeves are three quarter length and feature a folded cuff...
