Paris, 1924 by Paul...Day Dress - "Brique"<br />Paris, 1924 by Paul Poiret<br /><br />Materials and techniques: Fine flecked worsted, trimmed with rayon braid and tassles, machine-stitched and hand-finished.<br /><br />Description: Long sleeved, calf length dress in orange flecked with natural, plain weave worsetd. The body is cut in two pieces, one front and one back. The sleeves are of the Dolman style, set in low, almost to waist level. The dress is fairly straight cut and narrow, but the impression of a fuller skirt is created by two panels attached to the front sides just below hip level. They form two shallow pockets below which they are gathered and fall to the hem. <br /><br />The dress is trimmed with heavy wide braid with narrow horizontal stripes in black and white rayon. Three bands decorate the cuffs, two bands decorate the pocket tops and circle the back of the dress. The front is slit from the neck to the sternum, fastening at the top with ties of black watered silk grosgrain ribbon. Braid edges the circular neck and the left side of the slit opening. Three diagonal bands of the braid decorate the right top of the dress, terminating at the slit neck. Black and white tassels are attached to the bottom of the braid, edging the slit neckline and the pockets top.<br /><br />The dress is machine stitched and hand finished in rather a crude manner. The wide hem is finished with orange binding tape. Most of the inside raw edges are whipped. The dress fastens at the left side with hooks and loops.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263413678651206794noreply@blogger.com
