A Portfolio of Original Dress and Costume Designs

S. l.: By the artist, 1930. Softcover. Eighteen items; various sizes - 11" x 7 1/4" to 14" x 12"; drawings in pencil, ink, and water colors, on Strathmore Drawing boards, poster boards, and artist’ boards.; many of them signed and captioned, i. e. “Ballet Costume,” “Business Woman’s Suit,” etc.; most in near fine condition with minor wear, a few with light spotting and glue residue predominantly to verso; several of them feature fabric designs, rather than dress models; overall in very good to near fine condition. Housed in a colorful tapestry portfolio with four of boards not fitting properly within its margins, as they are a bit larger.A beautiful collection of dress and costume designs, it was, presumably, created by a fashion/graphic design student. While most of the drawings were decidedly Art Deco-inspired, several of the dresses were a bit more whimsical and softer in appearance. Although research has not revealed much about the artist, she was, undoubtedly, quite talented and accomplished.A beautiful collection of dress and costume designs, it was, presumably, created by a fashion/graphic design student.
