Early 1930s Black & Gold Floral Lace French Lame Dress

About the Item

This unique early 1930s slip dress simply exudes glamour. The black and gold lace lame overlay is complemented beautifully by a delicate black silk slip that has a barely there feel against the skin. The slip has a simple shift cut that flares out gradually at the hip, ribbon width shoulder straps, and horizontal neckline tracing the line of the breast. The lace follows the same simple shift line, fanning out generously below the knee into an ornate fishtail that dramatically sweeps the floor. A particularly special feature of the piece is the exquisite shoulder detail. Individual lace segments decorate the top of the sleeve in a delicate leaf design, accentuating the delightfully feminine feel of the gown. This ensemble is in excellent antique vintage condition, with no noticeable flaws, and would suit a variety of sizes up to US size 8 - 10, UK size 12 - 14. Unlabelled but lame of this quality was made in France.

  • 1980s Charles Jourdan Black Cold Shoulder Dress
    By Charles Jourdan
    Located in London, GB
    I love the simplicity of form of this early 1980s Charles Jourdan black cocktail dress. It has a wide boatneck and fantastic cold shoulder sleeve so that the top of the arm is exposed. The sleeve itself is batwing and very tapered, finishing in a neat, buttoned cuff. The pattern on the fabric reminds me of the lines created by waves hitting a sandy beach. Its such an interesting jacquard silk feel material with the way that the weft and warp has been woven creating both matte and satin finishes to bring out a two-dimensional look. The dress it has a thigh high split...

    Absence of vulgarity was central to Chanel’s definition of luxury, a view formed during her impoverished early life. Born in 1883 in Saumur, France, as Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, she was just 12 years old when her mother died and her itinerant father put her in a home for orphaned girls run by a local convent. She learned to sew and, upon moving to Moulins six years later, became a seamstress. She also sang in nightclubs, earning the sobriquet “Coco,” an allusion to a popular song of the time.
