Dress and bolero in painted silk black velvet - France Circa 1940
About the Item
Circa 1938-1940
France
Evening dress and bolero in black silk velvet painted with floral bouquets dating from the beginning of the Second World War. Sheath dress, cut on the bias and with a large halter neckline held in place by wide straps, appliquéd with painted velvet patches. The dress is flared at the bottom, accentuating the grace of the step. On one side, there is a slit opening with press studs, making it easier to put on. The bolero has a wide collar that hugs the shoulders, with a tipped line at the back thanks to large ruffled basques. It has a front neckline fastened with a large matching button and short puffed sleeves. The bodice is lined in black duchesse satin with no label. I can't hide the fact that this ensemble is rare and unusual, a museum piece, possibly wearable for a very slim young woman. No flaws to report. Very good condition in terms of colour and conservation.
Dimensions: French size 34-36. Jacket: shoulders 36 cm, chest 87 cm, waist 74 cm, front height 56 cm, back height 77 cm. Dress: chest 84 cm, waist 64 cm, hips 86 cm, height 145 cm.
