Pauline Trigere silk purple-violet/green print vintage Saks Fifth Avenue dress

Pauline Trigere's couture designs made a big splash on both sides of the Atlantic, with clients like Liz Taylor, Grace Kelly and Jackie O. Her clothes were carried by Saks Fifth Avenue, like this dress, and Bonwit Teller. This dress is an abstract floral print in silk charmeuse -- the body -- and silk chiffon -- the sleeves, and in a vivid green and blue-violet [the best rendering of the purple color is in photo number 5 of the cuffed sleeves, which button with three brilliant amethyst-purple stones, and of the size tag, a vintage 16, which is close to a modern size 12; see measurements]. Trigere's sophisticated yet witty clothes are perfect for the here and now. This dress is silk-lined with a back zipper. The measurements: length 39 inches, pit to pit 20 inches, shoulder 16.5 inches, and the sleeves a full/blouson cuffed style at 26 inches. From a smoke-free, dog-loving home. Your questions welcomed. Thank you for looking.
