Peach Velvet Style Dress By Jeanne Lanvin Haute Couture - Ah 1924-1925 Collection

Fall Winter 1924-1925 France Style Dress by Jeanne Lanvin Haute Couture numbered 88072 (?) from the Fall Winter 1924-1925 collection. Long dress with large neckline on a fitted bustier, sleeveless and thin peach velvet straps. A clever embroidery of pearly beads, rhinestone cabochons and tubular glass beads, mounted on cream tulle, adorns the front, the neckline and the bottom of the skirt with a slit effect. A large embroidered braided bow highlights the low waist according to the famous codes of Jeanne Lanvin. Skirt with fine side pleats allowing the use of pads, in a nod to 18th century basket dresses. No lining and woven label indicating Jeanne Lanvin Paris Unis France - Winter 1924-1925. On the handwritten back the barely legible number 88072 and the first name Alix. Several missing pearls, a micro stain on the bodice and a few areas of color migration on the embroidery. Otherwise the velvet is stable and without holes. Stable state of conservation given its age. Dimensions: Equivalent to France size 34. Shoulders 35 cm, chest 84, waist 66 cm, height 140 cm.
