| Design for a dinner ensemble. Marjorie Field for Field Rhoades Couture London, 1948-1949 The Victoria & Albert Museum |
Dating to 1948-49, this drawing is a fashion design for a black dinner dress
ensemble consisting of a black sheath under a cerulean and peach bolero jacket,
trimmed with black bobble passementerie.
The
gown was designed by Marjorie Field for the haute couture firm Field Rhoades of
London. A type-written description of
the ensemble is included with the drawing in order to specify the materials
required. Field intended that the gown
should be made of crepe while the jacket would be constructed of slipper
satin.
This
drawing is one of twelve in an album which Field assembled between 1948 and
1949 to present to her partners at Field Rhoades—allowing the firm to select the designs,
colors and materials which they desired for the couture collection.
