Poiret-Inspired Printed Silk and Gold Lamé Dress w Drop Rouleau Waist – S, 1920s
About the Item
Clearly inspired by Poiret’s Irudrée gown of 1923 (pictured), this dress features the same dropped rouleau waist and emphasis on metallic lamé, but also incorporates aspects of his other work. The exotic mustards, blues and pinks of his 1002nd Night dress and the printed silks and velvets of his Orientalist capes are reflected in the luxurious hues and textures of this unique piece.
Square neck dress with metallic silk lamé bodice, shot silk floral printed sleeves and shot silk vine-pattern skirt; dropped rouleau waist of twisted mustard velvet, painted floral silk and peacock silk satin; skirt generously gathered at drop waist beneath rouleau. Snapping side closure from hip to inside sleeve edge with additional waist snaps to secure rouleau. Bodice lined in champagne silk satin; skirt unlined.
fabric: metallic silk lamé, silk satin, cotton velvet, shot silk
noteworthy: hang inside out after wearing; dry cleaning is not recommended due to fragility
alterations: reattached rouleau where loose; reinforced snaps
condition: good but fragile with extremely light silk shattering on inside folds of silk satin panels of rouleau and light fraying to lamé where rouleau is attached; discrete metallic tarnish on center back
