Jeanne Lanvin Evening Dress 1923

Jeanne Lanvin Evening Dress 1923
Dress of black paper taffeta with a fitted bodice, wide U shaped neckline, voluminous full ankle length skirt, short sleeves with pale blue velvet border and a double contoured ruffle of silk tulle tamboured (embroidered net) with antiqued silver thread in a scrolling foliate motif. The dress is edged with a fine piping along the neckline, waist, sleeves. Three layers of this piping are also used decoratively in a band 10inches above the hem. A pink silk flower gives added whimsy to an already highly romantic dress. This " picture" has the silhouette for which Lanvin was renowned. While the rest of the fashion world was creating rectangular shaped flapper dresses, she persevered with the feminine silhouette of this dress.

Going on a sunglasses hunt is always fun as there are so many different shapes, colors, and sizes. Our favorite pick today is this Silver Metal Frame Sunglasses from Quay Eyewear. Circular lens frame is finished off by the angular corner giving it a retro and chic cat-eye look. With the reflective metallic coated slim lenses that go across the circular frame, this sunglasses is looking cool and vintage inspired.

    by PatriciaPatricia

    Spring time weather is so inspiring and always makes it so fun to pick outfits. You can get creative with thin layers, vibrant colors, and crazy prints. That is exactly why we love this Printed Jersey Tunic from Donna Morgan. Combination of the color block with flower prints gives so much character to this dress. It can not get more interesting than the black, purple, and blue flowers on block of white, black, blue, and purple. Shift Silhouette and beaded round neckline adds classiness to this fun and spontaneous dress, making it a perfect contemporary spring time dress.
