PRODUCT DETAILS
In very good to excellent condition for its age and displays beautifully - very Audrey Hepburn! We note on very close inspection that there is colour variation across the shoulders - this is very, very slight indeed on the jacket only. The belt buckle fabric has darkened with age, again very minor but could be recovered with matching fabric from the seam allowance if desired. The dress has a very slight colour variation towards the bottom hem on the front which is very difficult to see and only in certain lights. Some fraying to a seam on the lining which of course is not visible. Of note, it's a very petite size and we estimate that this dress is a size UK 4 or US 0 and would proportionally suit someone under 5'5".
We've been rather conservative on describing this outfit but its very wearable and a remarkable design by a couturier of great note. Under the presidency of Charles de Gaulle, Esterel was appointed designer of the presidents wife, Yvonne de Gaulle. His most prominent clients were Sophia Loren, Queen Fabiola of Belgium, Mamie Eisenhower and Gloria Swanson.
