Adèle Henriette Elisabeth and Mariano FORTUNY - PEPLOS Dress - Lot 32
Adèle Henriette Elisabeth and Mariano FORTUNY - PEPLOS Dress - circa 1930. Fine, raspberry-colored pleated silk satin. A tribute to ancient Greek attire, the dress consists of a sleeveless sheath over which rests an overlay reminiscent of the apotygma. With its hip-length cut and pointed hem, this “integrated tunic” is held in place at the sides by a series of glass paste beads that also weigh down the pointed hem. Stamped “Fortuny” on the side Length at the center back: 131 cm The dress comes with its tie-front sash. In lovely, fresh condition. Note the later addition of an elastic thread around the neckline and the repositioning of the first bead at the shoulder to accommodate the alteration. A few beads need to be repositioned on the silk cords. Very slight fading of the color under the arms Weakness at the belt. The reverse side has been altered, and the front has two gaps where the knot is located.
