A fine brilliant yellow Spitalfields brocaded silk robe à l'Anglaise, circa 1750, woven with brightly coloured large scale oriental poppies, posies and swags, the ground figured with arabesques and wine silk spotted cartouches, the robe with linen lining to bodice, pleated front robings, double tiered engageants with bows, the hem lined in fine yellow silk; with matching petticoat front panel trimmed with pinked furbelows; and a stomacher trimmed with rosettes and braid (3) CONDITION REPORT: Glorious colours, fabric is superb and very fresh. Most 18th century dresses have been altered to some degree. There is no machine-stitching anywhere in the dress. I suspect that the sleeves have had perspiration areas removed and re-set. The silk on the inside shoulder bands - the raw edges look fresh. The front robing bands would originally have been longer and their positions have moved. The underside sleeve seams have been slightly let out to widen. The skirt has been shortened at the waist level. The fabric itself is superb, the left sleeve is lacking its lead weight. Petticoat front - it has no back and attaches with ties like an apron. Creases at the centre-front waist suggest it was originally the side/front of a petticoat. It is formed from 2 full width panels - the sides from pieced sections of fabric. The furbelows have been placed over the newly arranged petticoat panel. Stomacher has been made up using the matching silk in the 20th century - extremely well done
A Christian Dior couture embroidered white organdy dance dress, 1950-52, black on white woven label stamped 09908, bolduc no 17.607, embroidered overall with white fish-scale repeats in-filled with couched gold threads, the separate bodice with integral tulle corset, cross-over sweetheart neckline front and back, the full, gored skirt with pleated tulle trim to slightly flared hem, with matching stole, bust 97cm, 38in, waist 74cm, 29in (3) CONDITION REPORT: Condition is good overall but dress is soiled from storage and needs cleaning - organdy has a slightly grey appearance. Gown would probably have had a sash or belt which we don't have. Bodice: perspiration stain at left underarm, right underarm is fine. Interior of bodice is clean and good. Exterior has slight soiling and thread tarnishing to right breast tip. Very slight soiling/yellowing to organza at rear closure point and front waist where the diagonal panel meets it - both not immediately noticeable and minor. Skirt: good condition, no problems. Shawl: split at on one border edge 3cm long, and hemmed return needs re-stitching approx. 30cm, threads are tarnished where the neck would be.
