NEW LISTING This understated, yet luxe midnight blue peau silk satin dress from pricey American ready to wear maker Ben Reig would cover all the times you can’t wear sequins or leopard print. There are those times, you know. The construction on this one is ingenious. There is a center front metal zipper hidden under the crossover front bodice and the knife pleated skirt. The full skirt has pleats that radiate from a wide box pleat at the side to meet at the center front and back. Very pretty. Wear a belt or not - it works either way. There are no belt loops. Designers who worked for Ben Reig included Omar Kiam and Eva Rosenstein.

This striking deep midnight blue silk taffeta suit is from the collaboration between Jacques Fath and Joseph Halpert that began in 1948. Both pieces are beautifully made. I know this line is always described as being “lower priced” than his couture line, but the quality is top notch RTW with hand finishing, padded peplum, and bound button holes, ( including the functional button skirt vent), and petersham waist band. The jacket is unlined form the waist up, the shirt is also unlined. The store label is a from a very nice ladies boutique in Louisville, KY.

The design work on this later 1930s crepe dress is fascinating. The deep armsceye sleeves are graceful, and the triple rhinestone closures at the asymmetrical center front closure would have been enough for most manufacturers. But this Bruyθ re Adaptation goes much further, with circular cutouts that are filled with net and then have an additional circular appliquι in a contrasting satin texture. Wonderful. The sleeves are smocked at the wrist. The hem does dip to the back. Side snap closure.

Mme. Marie-Louise Bruyθ re formerly of the House of Lanvin, opened her own house in 1930, and was quite successful with American women. The house continued to advertise in L’Officiel until at least 1958. According to an August 1932 article in Fortune Magazine (published by Time, Inc.), entitled “Dressmakers of France”:

“We now come to the handful of houses which are at the moment the dictators of fashion. They have not necessarily the widest popular acceptance, nor are they always the houses patronized most heavily by American buyers. Thus a survey of Paris copies in Manhattan’s stores made one day last fall by Amos Parrish showed that the first ten designers in order of popularity were: Vionnet, Lanvin, Bruyθ re, Goupy, Mainbocher, Schiaparelli, Paray, Patou, Lyolene, and Chanel. All the great houses, with the exception of Augustabernard (who came thirteenth, after Molyneux and Maggy Rouff), are represented here, but four houses not generally considered fashion dictators are also well up in the list.”

This nifty peek-a-boo Moschino suit from the 1980s is very clever. It’s from the Cheap and Chic line, which while chic, wasn’t exactly cheap. The jacket of the suit is attached to the collar, sleeves and peplum with covered buttons and loops that are all functional. You could strip this down to a deeply scooped neck, short sleeve bolero jacket if you so desire! The fabric is a white crepe body alternating with a matte white satin for the peplum, lover sleeves and skirt. I would bet this was Moschino’s version of a trendy wedding suit. The jacket and skirt are both fully lined in white and both are labeled. The skirt has a fabric button closure with nylon coil zipper.

This sleek later 1950s suit is a navy shantung by the well known American film designer and fashion designer Irene. This suit has her signature buttons details.

Adrian must have loved the subtle lines of the decorative curved seam. This jacket features not only V seamed front and the oval set in at the yoke area, but a shield shaped center back panel. Typical of Adrian’s suits, the left sleeve is a plain 2 piece suit sleeve with the right has another curved set in seam with an applied cuff. It also has a double collar, with the lower one set in a circular seam at the base of the neck. Just a little Adrian magic. The buttons are heavy acorns with silver metal tops and gold glass bottoms. Bound buttonholes and black silk crepe lining.

Label: Adrian Original & Stewart’s Louisville

Condition: Very Good. No holes, stains. I suspect the buttons, while period and high quality, are replacements as the sewing quality is not up to the standards of the rest of the jacket. There is loss to the color of the glass. There is a repair under the top button. When the jacket is buttoned, it is not visible.
