Rare Vintage 50s Pauline Trigère Wool crepe black couture LBD Cocktail dress M 8

I have long supported women designers from Claire McCardell to Miuccia Prada.You can love Galliano but how often are you going to wear Galliano couture? This is why Prada's quiet luxury speaks to women who want something you can -wear-. You want Trigere because she spoke to a lusciousness that you connect with on a very naked level. Linings that feel absolutely spectacular on bare skin. Fabrics that are feminine without being vulgar. Like, a coat fabric for a dress. You see the silhouette but you never worry about a bra bugle or panty lines. It's substantial. And Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons for Fall 2025 have conjured the 60's black dress, saying we're in a "very black moment". And they don't mean color - they mean collective mood but we won't get political, will we? Trigere little black dress in a heavy wool crepe lined in black silk charmeuse with princess stitched tucks from rib to hip. Unique squared U neckline. Short cap sleeves Wonderful sculptural lines with very fine construction techniques; Bra strap holders are sewn on the inside. THE DRESS IS AN ELEGANT, CLASSIC GARMENT IN EXCELLENT VINTAGE CONDITION, the only flaw seen is the hook/eye at top of zipper is missing on one side. The photos are not great - It's hard to photograph a black dress! Era: Dating 1950s to 1960s red/black tag Size tag was removed - Approximate size 8 to 12? PTP measures 36", waist 30", and length shoulder to hem 41" Authentic vintage ILGWU union label. Perfect for collectors
