1920s Luci de Paris Embroidered Flapper designer-christian-dior The classic late fifties cocktail

The classic late fifties cocktail suit

It is two separate pieces - the inner dress cannot be worn really with out the shell - the little silk top is more like lining than a true dress

The exterior of the dress is fashioned out of light black silk crepe that has a slight waffle weave feel to it

almost weightless silk chiffon in a brilliant teal blue mixed with a floral and paisley print that has pops of pinks

1920s Luci de Paris Embroidered Flapper designer-christian-dior The classic late fifties cocktailI have done some research on this label and have some to the conclusion that this is a dress made by the makers of what was to become the infamous Lucille de Paris handbag line. The duo behind that label began in France and the labels are very close to each other in feel and style. It is my firm belief that Luci de Paris started as a dressmaker in the twenties and went on to become the more "grown up" Lucille de Paris and focus solely on handbags
