The black fine silk taffeta dress with boat neckline, and small, capped half-sleeves fastens with poppers down the left side. A pair of immense fern-like fronds are machine-embroidered in furry cream chenille on the skirt, and the cream colour is echoed in floating bands caught in silk georgette bows at the right sleeve and left waist.","physicalDescription":"Evening dress of black fine silk taffeta with boat neckline and capped half-sleeves gathered into the armhole. It has a natural waistline onto which the long, full skirt is gathered. The skirt front is embroidered with two large leafy fronds in cream chenille. \r\n\r\nThe dress fastens with poppers down the left side. It has a creamy white georgette belt with a bow and a creamy georgette bow with streamers which falls from under the right hand sleeve.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Jeanne Lanvin","id":"A2262"},"association":{"text":"designer","id":"AAT25190"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"silk (textile)","id":"AAT243428"},{"text":"taffeta","id":"AAT249434"},{"text":"chenille","id":"AAT227801"},{"text":"georgette","id":"x35702"}],"techniques":[{"text":"embroidering","id":"AAT53653"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Silk taffeta trimmed with machine-embroidered chenille and silk georgette","categories":[{"text":"Fashion","id":"THES48957"},{"text":"Womenswear","id":"THES49044"},{"text":"Embroidery","id":"THES48960"},{"text":"Evening wear","id":"THES48999"},{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2006AP3438","2006BF2982","2006AP3437"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"38","id":"THES49569"},"free":"","case":"CA004","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Evening dress","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Paris","id":"x29068"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1922-1923","earliest":"1922-01-01","latest":"1923-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"winter"}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[],"dimensionsNote":"Approx. size 10-12","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'Jeanne Lanvin PARIS UNIS-FRANCE'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Label woven in cream, black and pink"},{"content":"'HIVER 1922-1923'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Stamped in blue on label"},{"content":"'39378'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Model number written on label"}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Evening dress of embroidered silk taffeta, designed by Jeanne Lanvin, Paris, winter 1922-1923","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Mendes, Valerie. <u>Black In Fashion</u>.

The only feature they had in common was the dropped waist. Leading fashion illustrators for magazines such as The Gazette du Bon Ton delighted in setting her romantic designs in idyllic park or garden landscapes.\r\n\r\nThis dress in the lightest silk taffeta is typical of her picturesque creations. The cut and finishing of her clothes are always immaculate. Here the shallow boat neckline, armholes, sleeve edges and hem are trimmed with narrow self-binding. The blackness is skilfully relieved by two large fronds of cream chenille and georgette bows with streamers.\r\n\r\nT.334-1978","date":{"text":"1983-84","earliest":"1983-01-01","latest":"1984-12-31"}}],"partNumbers":["T.334-1978"],"accessionNumberNum":"334","accessionNumberPrefix":"T","accessionYear":1978,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-10-23","recordCreationDate":"1999-12-15","availableToBook":false}}
