Paquin
Afternoon dress
Black point d’esprit, silk taffeta, grosgrain ribbon, lace
Circa 1902, France

The Rockefeller family member who wore this dress would have made a striking figure among the muted pastel tones of Belle Époque fashion. Jeanne Paquin layered black fabrics and trims of varying weights and finishes to achieve nuanced variations in pattern, shade, and texture. At first glance, the detailed embellishment appears subtle and restrained, adding to the refined understatement of this fashionable black dress.

Hi everyone!! I'm new here, wanted to add an image of an early 50s couture silk handbag label (likely created to go with a gown)....I'll add a pic of the bag later at home, I just realized I don't have one here without a watermark from the site.
