EVENING DRESS

Evening dress. Culture: French. Designer: Georges Doeuillet (French, 1865-1929). Date: 1910-13. Georges Doeuillet began his career as a silk merchant and then found his way to fashion design. He is recognized for his highly detailed and elaborate dresses, which he modeled on live mannequins, a growing trend during the teens. In 1928/1929, after his death, the House of Doeuillet was merged with the House of Doucet. The evening dress featured here is a glamorous French couture piece and a tour de force of beadwork. Worn by one of New York's society ladies, Mrs. Frederick H. Prince, Jr., this gown would have made a stunning entrance at any social event.
