MADAME GRÈS, A RARE DAY DRESS, 1940S
black moiré silk, with elbow length sleeves and full skirts, the bodice draped and folded to create a waistcoat-effect, labelled Grès, secondary label Santina Buenos Ayres

Note du spécialiste

Beautifully constructed, this is an unusual example of Madame Grès' abilities beyond the more usual evening wear. The cunning bodice employs her signature methods of draping and pleating, to a more subdued but extremely elegant effect.
