Label copy

This lamé and lace chemise is by the French design label Therese Blanchet. Sumptuous materials compose this abbreviated garment, including two weights of metallic thread used in the lace, golden sequins, and the lamé ground fabric. A heavier metallic thread (composed of a yellow silk thread encapsulated within a sheet of metal) highlights discrete areas of the lace border.

This undergarment would have been worn for modesty under a transparent beaded and embellished shift.
