c.1977 Pauline Trigere Silk 'Fireworks' Print Halter Dress & Cape designer-christian-lacroix The bodice is kept very

The bodice is kept very simple with no sleeves and a cut that skims over the bust

Stunning and rare

The sleeves are those same thee layers and I love how each layer peeks out form under the other so you can see each and it acts like a border

The top is lined with a red silk organza chiffon and the skirt is fully lined in silk with stiffened net all around the hips to increase the volume there

February 1958

c.1977 Pauline Trigere Silk 'Fireworks' Print Halter Dress & Cape designer-christian-lacroix The bodice is kept veryThis is a beautiful example of Pauline Trigere's work during this time period. The dress comes from its original owner who provided the approximate date that she purchased it. Trigere was a master at cut and often fitted garments directly on a model. She was also very hands on and the construction of the dress shows this as it is immaculately finished with many hand details. Both the dress and its matching cape are made from a fine silk crepe chiffon.
