Emerald - Jacques Heim designer original cocktail dress and jacket - size 8

Description

This strapless dress is made from a wide striped emerald green dupioni silk. A corseted underblouse fits securely with a tighter fit, seam boning, a gros grain waist belt, and milliner's wire shaping across the front roll line. The underblouse is sewn into the dress and fits the form without ease. The dress, however, has ease and was designed to obscure the built-in foundation garment. A size 8, this is made to fit a figure measuring 36 inches in the bust, 28 inches in the waist and 39 at the hips.

The matching jacket has a sloping hem line and buttons on the left side. It features bound button holes and the top button hole is hidden in the collar seam. The large buttons accent the jacket and bring out the emerald coloring from the dress. The sleeves are three-quarter length, kimono styling in the front and set-in in the back. The back jacket is gathered at the neckline into a simple stand up collar. It is entirely lined in the emerald silk.

Jacket and dress, despite their contrasting fabrications, are a match set in design. The sloping hemline of the coat is the same sloping seam line of the flounce ruffle. However well they look together, they also work as coordinates. The dress stands alone as a beautiful piece of couture. The jacket will look great with a pair of jeans. Each item has been painstakingly tailored and all seams are finished. Jacket cut and sewn from a vintage pattern. Dress and underblouse cut and sewn from a draped design and hand-drafted pattern.
