About the Item

Circa 1895/1905 France Two-part ceremony nuptial dress (?), skirt and bodice, Japanese style dating from the Belle Epoque. High-waisted corset with a label woven on the waistband indicating Mademoiselle Tessier St Etienne. Cream satin background finely pleated with straw yellow silk crepe on the bust. Eloquent drapery work, knotted and bouillonné, in straw-yellow crepe on the long sleeves ending with a cream-colored cotton lace ruffle. Rich plastron emphasizing the silhouette, consisting of three lugs in satin embroidered with white, gold and silver sequins. Festoons of faceted steel beads and lace on the edges. Small bustle skirt in straw yellow silk damask decorated with waving stems of cherry blossoms in button. A wide straw-yellow satin ribbon tightens the waist and accentuates the S-line of this refined girl ensemble. Very good condition of color and conservation. Size: Equivalent French Size 34. Extract from the catalog of the exhibition "Falbalas, Portraits et Mode au Féminin 1850- 1930" - Museum of Art of the City of Toulon - 2017: The wedding dresses were often colored in France in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. In Provence in particular, the tones chosen in the popular classes are dark: generally dark green or green-yellow. The bride uses a Sunday dress with a beautiful scarf, headdress, apron, and family jewelry necessarily out of the ordinary. The materials used are taffeta and silk, or woolen or Siamese, false silk, poppy or poplin including Arles. Provencal wedding dresses can be puce color, yucky color, dark brown, plum, garnet-colored or green Empire. The light, white or cream wedding dresses correspond to a high social rank and only really appear at the beginning of the 19th century. The immaculate, white dress will not be generalized in France in the popular classes until the twentieth century with the progress of the confection.

A Paco Rabanne Couture Set in Yellow knitwear and Papier Fou- Spring Summer 1991

By Paco Rabanne

Located in Toulon, FR

Spring Summer 1991 Collection France Modernist ensemble from Paco Rabanne's Haute Couture show. Composed of a pair of Bermuda shorts, a tunic-dress made of stretchy ribbed knitwear in lemon-yellow and a bolero with quilted fins in iridescent silver foil called Papier Fou. This clever and deliberately avant-garde process corresponded at the time to a sheet of rhodoïd laminated with a reflective silver foil. Metal buckle with yellow synthetic stone cabochon to close the bolero. Light crazy paper patina, clean set, little or no wear. Very good condition of colour and conservation. Exhibited and catalogued at the Villa Rosemaine...

1930s Peach Silk Slip Nightdress

Located in London, GB

Early 1930s peach embroidered floral slip in incredible antique condition. This piece is made from a man made silk blend in a really beautiful soft peach colour. There are some pleasing design details on this dress including the embroidered neckline with flowers that look like fuchsias. There is a little gather along the square part of the neckline and some of the pleating falls down to the waistband where ties are attached just below the bust - very Grecian in look. There are no labels present but the slip is really well made and good examples of vintage lingerie...
