About the Item
1970s Marcel Fenez by Roland Klein accordion pleat dress. The fabric is a manmade georgette and has a pretty floral spray design of lilac and French blue, and lime green foliage against a white background. The bodice is a crossover shirtwaister design and the skirt falls just below the knee. The fabric, save for the sleeves, has been heat treated into accordion pleats. The Raglan sleeves are double cuffed with fabric covered buttons. The sleeves are left sheer while the bodice of the dress has been lined in a quality acetate. The collar has been designed into the crossover portion of the dress, where it has been left open to form a keyhole design.
The dress retains its original fabric belt and fastens to the rear with the original nylon zip. The dress itself is in beautiful vintage condition with no faults. We note, as very often is the case with vintage dresses, the belt shows some markings as this has not been dry cleaned to the same degree as the dress. It could be hand washed; we have left as is as the dress works really well without the belt. There are two side threaded loops to keep the belt in place and these can be cut off if desired. Best fit for around a UK size 6 - 8 or US 2 - 4.
Notes on Designer: Roland Klein designed for various French fashion houses including; Christian Dior, Jean Patou - whilst Karl Lagerfeld was head designer, Marcel Fenez, and finally in his own name from 1979. Klein designed clothes for Diana, Princess of Wales throughout her time in the public eye, including one of her favourite outfits, frequently seen at polo matches and informal occasions from 1981 to 1987 - a trompe l'oeil jumper decorated with rhinestones.

Original Paul-Louis Orrier Haute Couture Silk Dress 70s Ruffle Pleated
By Paul-Louis Orrier
Located in Berlin, BE
This is the most gorgeous dress!
It is made of such a beautiful delicate silk fabric and lovely strong saturated colours, the shape is typical 1970s. The construction is so well done and there are so many beautiful handmade details. The upper silk is super soft and pleated, it falls in ruffles. The black undersirt has a strengthened hem to create and maintain the shape. The collar falls in ruffles and the front part closes with little hooks. The buttons are covered with the silk fabric. It has two labels inside, one says Walter Gross Zürich (now called GROSS COUTURE, a distrubutor of Haute Couture fashion) and the other one says Paul-Louis Orrier, the designer. This is such a rare one of a kind Couture dress. It comes with a matching belt. The belt had a velcro fastening, I am very sure this was added afterwards, also it didn't work so I removed it. The belt no only closes if you tie it, I would recommend to maybe add press button for your desired fit.
