Two-piece dress


People and Brands:
Designer: Jacques Fath

1912-1954

Medium: Black wool twill
Date: c.1947
Country: France
Credit: Gift of Mrs. Joseph Halpert
The clean lines and button detail of this haute couture dress give it a deceptively simple appearance. Designer Jacques Fath skillfully hid the complex construction that creates the overall silhouette and drape of the skirt. Fath’s designs were youthful alternatives to the creations of Christian Dior.
