Another page from the Modes Royale catalog from 1951.
Pattern 1027 is a one-piece dress, draped over-skirt, dolman sleeve.
Pattern 1028 is a one-piece dress. Cowl drape at neckline continues into back waist and is again released in a floating panel.
Don't you think this gal defines the word "haughty"?
I happen to have the layout for a pattern very similar to dress #1 I found a couple of days ago in one of my old French magazines from 1951. It states it was created by the Lanvin's house especially for the readers.
ReplyDeleteThere are no measurements though I don't despair I'll be able to recreate it. If you're interested I'll be glad to share my scan with you.
