Circa 1972
France
Dress and jacket in wool and silk, anonymous Haute Couture without label around 1972. Straight dress with cream nylon lining and zip fastening at the back. Sleeveless top and crew-neck in checked silk taffeta. Elegant work of pleats on the bust and the front of the skirt in box pleats. Matching cardigan jacket in cream wool highlighted with navy blue stitching in bias. In the inner lining, the same ckecked silk taffeta with a reminder of a knot closing the collar with a hook. Sewing and finishing entirely done by hand, probably from an unidentified Parisian designerhouse. Clean set with three needle-sized stains on the folds of the front skirt (see last photo). No other visible defects. Very good condition of color and conservation
