1970s Pauline Trigere Fused Velvet & Chocolate Silk Chiffon Dress w Attached Tie at Neck

I always love finding a great example of Pauline Trigere's work and this dress is one. The first thing that strikes you when you pick this up is that it weighs far less then you would think. You tend to think velvet will be heavy but this is a fine silk velvet fused onto silk chiffon and this allows for that feeling of lightness and movement that the dress has. Once on it is heavenly to wear. I love how she has used the curving design of the velvet bits to define the dress and 'shape' the body. When you see this dress on the hanger you don't realize just how fabulous it is. It is only once on that you really see the masterful way she used the cut and drape of the fabric to create a kind of subtle sexiness. You are really only covered by a layer of nude chiffon that lays under the transparent silk chiffon behind the fused velvet. But at the same time the two layers are enough that you do feel covered. The sleeves are not lined so you get more of the sense of skin through the fabric. The neck is high and there is an attached tie there. I have shown it looped loose and easy at the back so that the ends hang down but you could wrap and tie it around the neck as well. You could add a belt or sash to give it more shape too. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a nude silk chiffon except for the sleeves and closes with a painted metal & nylon zipper. Each sleeve has an individual zipper at the cuff. Hand finished and beautiful construction. Light padding in each shoulder
