Circa 1970
France
Anonymous haute couture evening dress in chiffon and cream silk crepe from the 1970s. Probably from Jean Dessès or Carven designer house(?). An empire-inspired, high-waisted bustier dress with work of pleats at the chest. Beautiful ruffled effect of the skirt with small train and four flounces cut in the bias superimposed on a sheath dress in cream crepe silk. Closure at the back by zip and hook. Haute couture work of the bustier with six integrated underwirings. This dress is entirely sewn by hand. No label. A repair in the bottom of the train on 1 cm, a very slight halo under an armpit, and a yellow aurole of 0.5 cm in the skirt. Otherwise clean dress in very good condition. No other defects to report. Very good condition of color and conservation.
