{"title":"JEAN MUIR","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eJean Muir (1928 - 1995) started out as a sales girl \u0026amp; fashion sketcher for Liberty's in London. She then went on to design for iconic British brand, Jaeger. In 1961 she established Jane and Jane and in 1966 Muir she started her own business. Her designs were loved for their long, languid lines and excdptional \u0026amp; flattering tailoring. She favoured fabrics such as jersey, crepe and suede.\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"1960s-jean-muir-silk-liberty-floral-print-purple-dress-with-tassle-scarf","title":"1960s Jean Muir Silk Liberty Floral Print Dress with Scarf","description":"This is a fine Jean Muir 1960s dress and matching tassel scarf and is without question, the best ensemble from this designer we have ever had in our collection. Early in her career, Muir worked with Liberty fabric and this striking psychedelic silk print could certainly be a Liberty design. It features a riot of bright purple, blue, orange, pink and green tones in a stylised paisley print. Each of the designs, contained in long rows of bands, is slightly different. The dress is a high shirtwaister design with an empire line bust, a low scoop neck and it fastens at the front with 18 fabric buttons and loops. There is a little upturned ruffle on the waistband and the skirt is gently gathered. The sleeves have a gathered cuff and upturned ruffle that echoes the waistline. The dress bodice is not lined; however, the skirt is lined in a quality pink viscose. Labelled a UK size 12, this is small in today's sizing and probably a better fit for a UK 8-10 or US 4-6. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe accompanying scarf is a double thickness triangular shape with a row of hand tied purple tassels down one side. It is doubled sided with one print matching the dress while the other side is the same design but in a different colourway, focusing on blues, turquoises and orange. It's an absolutely beautiful piece worn alone or could be styled either side to compliment or contrast the dress colourway. A very rare set indeed to find in superb vintage condition and from the very earliest part of Jean Muir's career. One for the serious collector, wearer of fine boho fashion or museum acquisition.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBust - 36 in.

The skirt is cut in an A-line shape and is lined with a white silky feel material. It has a fitted waistband and side zip closure, complete with blue button detail to the top of the placket. The jacket has shoulder padding and full gathered balloon sleeves which fall to the mid forearm, and have an amazing volume to them. The neckline is a shallow, soft V shape, and the front of the jacket fastens with five plastic buttons in the same shade of primary blue as the floral print. There is a peplum detail to the waist, which creates a lovely silhouette. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBoth the skirt and jacket are in great vintage condition with no issues.

The front features a geometric pattern of patchwork rectangles to both the left and right hand sides, a design very reminiscent of the abstract trends of the early part of the decade. Each rectangle is embroidered around the edge with a delicate silver thread, to add some extra sparkle.

Her discreet, understated style attracted an exceptionally loyal clientele that included Joanna Lumley, Lauren Bacall, Charlotte Rampling, Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Julie Walters, Joan Plowright, Patricia Hodge, Dr Miriam Stoppard and Princess Margaret. Her menswear was equally admired, with commissions for Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. Today, Jean Muir's work is represented in major museum collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, and remains highly prized by collectors for its enduring design and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBUST - 34 in.
