Lanvin Couture
1970s Rainbow Striped Silk Pleated Shirt Dress
$550.00
This couture Lanvin shirt dress dates from the late 1970s, and is numbered “11024.” It was made in France of 100% silk, and comes with the original silk-covered leather belt, which is stamped “Lanvin - Paris - Made in France” on the inside. It is unlined, white with rainbow stripes in various widths. It features a high neck, and elbow-length sleeves with rolled-up cuffs. The top of the dress does up the front with 7 shell buttons. The skirt wraps around and hooks together at the waist. There are four large folds in the skirt fabric that create pleats, with the top of the folds coming above the waistband and folding over the belt. There is some discolouration on the silk belt, and cracks on the leather back. A previous owner has punched an extra hole into the belt that doesn’t have a grommet. The actual dress itself is in excellent condition, has been professionally dry-cleaned, and is ready to wear.
