Draped Dress 1949


This dress was designed by Jacques Fath in 1949 for Lady Dacre.  She was the wife of the Naval Attache to Paris in the late 1940s and had many formal occasions that she needed to dress for. She wore exclusively Jacques Fath to her events. Fath dressed her free of charge each season as she gave good publicity to his work. If she wanted to keep a piece she would buy at at the end of the season. By then I am sure she was sick of it!!

Material: Printed Viscose Rayon
Place: Paris, France
