About the Item

An incredibly rare and highly collectible Bill Gibb for Baccarat linen and velvet pinafore dress featuring appliqued Renaissance portraits on the skirt from Fortnum and Mason in London. The dress was featured in British Vogue’s October 1970 issue. The textured green linen dress features smocking on the top of the bodice with pink, red and blue embroidered thread. The edge of the bodice and the straps are constructed from dark blue velvet with embroidered white and blue flowers and red berries and form a square neckline. The skirt features appliquéd Renaissance-style portraits of numerous figures dressed in green, blue, pink and red on the lower portion and a red, green and blue landscape scene on the upper portion. The dress features a mustard yellow silk lining and fastens at the back with a zipper. The accompanying terracotta satin shirt features dramatic full-length voluminous sleeves with gathered cuffs trimmed in red, green and yellow embroidery. The sleeves are anchored at the back by mint green tassels. The shirt features a frilled high-necked collar trimmed in red, green and yellow embroidery and fastens at the back with a zipper and hook-and-eye fastenings. Both pieces feature the Baccarat label. Excellent condition. Measurements are for the shirt: Length: 22.5" Shoulder Width: 15.5" Sleeve length: 25" Bust: 38" Waist: 38" --- Provenance: Miranda Macmillan (née Quarry) - The Countess of Stockton Born in 1947, Miranda Louise Quarry is the stepdaughter of Lord Mancroft. A rebel by nature, Miranda blazed a nonconformist trail through a series of boarding schools and by her late teens, on the advice of a psychiatrist, she left schooling permanently and travelled to Barcelona, which marked the beginning of her peripatetic life. During her travels around Europe in the 60s, she fully embraced the worlds of art, dance, fashion and music. It was during this time that she met her first husband, the late great comedic acting legend Peter Sellers. Although a brief marriage (1971-1974), she has always maintained fond memories of her time with him stating that, ‘It was a privilege to have spent as much time as I did with Peter. He was one of the kindest and most generous people who ever walked this earth’. Miranda began to build her extensive collection of couture garments during her marriage to Sellers, purchasing couture from historic Parisian houses such as Dior and Givenchy as well as from the British designers of the moment, including Ossie Clark and Zandra Rhodes. We’re honored to be able to offer them here on 1stdibs. All of our garments have been professionally cleaned. Vintage garments have been worn previously so expect some minor signs of wear. We do our best to inspect and describe any flaws on the garment.
