Robe de Style - House of Lanvin (fall/winter 1926)
silk, rhinestones, pearls

“The robe de style, which is often associated with Lanvin, is characterized by its dropped waist and wide skirts designed to resemble court dresses of the 18th century. The style safely hid the figure, which made it comfortable for clients of any age and shape. This particular robe de style’s uncomplicated bold decoration and sculptural silhouette is unmistakably iconic of the 1920s haute couture style of Lanvin.”

I’ve made a new blog that’s sort of a compendium for the Edwardian/Jazz Age stuff that inspires me.  It’ll mostly be reblogs, but I wanted my own sort of fashion aesthetic blog for how I’d love to dress if I had unlimited money.
