Evening ensemble
While the designer is unknown, this dress has been attributed to the House of Goupy, a well respected French couture house in the 1920s. To have a garment from this fine house is a rarity and enhances its value. Following the tubular silhouette of the period, this dress is particularly delicate with the use of gossamer materials in its construction.
