Jean Desses, famous for drapery, was one of the original Parisian Couturieres. Once you wear Haute Couture like this there is nothing you can compare it to. The elegance is sublime and the lines are graceful. Pair it with a strand or two of pearls as shown on this mannequin and you will automatically ascend to the outer strata of dramatic and refined dressing.

Jean Desses, 50s Haute Couture. Shades of pink pleated creped chiffon gown with a ‘bubble’ stylized skirt. There is an additional swath of fabric that falls across your back for you to play with as you see fit.
