Description
Paper photograph of a Parisian model of French fashion house, destined for a German magazine. The photograph shows a young woman dressed in an elegant evening dress made of silk chiffon entirely embroidered with sequins, forming vertical lines from the bodice to the back of the train. The bottom of the skirt is embellished with lace inserts and flowers made of sequins, with the same motifs repeating on the shoulder straps of medium short loose tulle sleeves. A shiny long tassel decorates the center of the chest, and a multistrand pearl choker necklace, closing with an openwork metal buckle, decorates the neck. The look is completed with an assymetrical hat with standing on the top feathers, and the lady is holding a fan.
