This Lanvin wrap skirt is utterly fantastic

The perfect autumn hues and wonderfully versatile as you can of course wear the top and skirt separately as well

The top is lined with a red silk organza chiffon and the skirt is fully lined in silk with stiffened net all around the hips to increase the volume there

The bodice is kept very simple with no sleeves and a cut that skims over the bust

The dress comes from its original owner who provided the approximate date that she purchased it. Trigere was a master at cut and often fitted garments directly on a model. She was also very hands on and the construction of the dress shows this as it is immaculately finished with many hand details. Both the dress and its matching cape are made from a fine silk crepe chiffon.
