Sharp A-line tailoring and clean lines are synonymous with the designer who had worked for Balenciaga during the previous decade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dress features a high square neck, fitted bodice and long A-line maxi skirt which streamlines and elongates the body. The front has two seam details to the hip, and the back features a low scoop with four rows of delicate straps running horizontally across. The material is crafted from a soft polyblend which has a gentle stretch to it, and it fastens to the side with the original concealed zip. The lining is an equally soft nylon blend, which, though not noticeable when worn, has a very slight pink tinge to it which has happened with age. Otherwise, the dress is in great vintage condition, with only a couple of very faint pinhead marks near the bottom hem. One for the connoisseur or collector of fine vintage fashion with the bonus of it being very wearable. Our model, a UK size 8-10, US 4-6, said she felt fantastic wearing this and it was a good fit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003cbr\u003eBust - 34 in. (86.4 cm)\u003cbr\u003eWaist - 33 in.

Cut with a high neckline, a V-stitched collar and inverted waistband, the slanted welt pockets at the hips balance the cut and panelled construction. At the back the dress is secured with a hidden zip and adorned with three pretty bows in stiff tonal lambswool - a playful detail typical of this beloved brand. The dress is fully lined and the original label inside the shoulder reads ‘Courrèges Paris Made in France’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis elegant dress is in excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note.

The skirt has a wide waistband and is secured at the front with an asymmetric snap closure. These glossy blue plastic snap closures continue down the front of the skirt and give way to a slit. The skirt is fully lined in matte blue cotton. The jacket is unlined and tailored to a slightly cropped length that allows the detail of the skirt to be seen underneath. It has a rounded collar and fabric-covered snap closures down the front. The patriotic hued 'French blue' cotton has a slight sheen to it and adds a utilitarian feel that recalls classic French workwear. The original labels inside the skirt and jacket both read “Courrèges Paris Made in France”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis elegant ensemble is in truly excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note - the packet of spare snap closures is still attached at the collar.
