1945D3115Holland 1945. Cloth-backed paper over boards 10.25 by 13.75 inches; approx. pp. 200 handwritten and illustrated in black and red ink. Contains more than 50 patterns for women's clothing as well as few for little girls -- including dresses blouses skirts coats and underwear. Boards a bit worn and warped but contents are nice and fresh. Very little text -- all of it in Dutch -- but the patterns are universally applicable. Presumably created by a student the patterns are painstakingly neat and exact and accompanied by drawings of the finished apparel as well as wonderfully adept drawings of ladies modeling them offering complete looks from hat to shoe. Also includes cut-outs of patterns many of them still holding pins laid-in here and there. Lovely legible and careful throughout you can see that they were first drawn in pencil then traced over in ink and the student's ruler and blotting paper are laid-in at the back. Unique and accomplished. A gem. <br/><br/> hardcover books

1847865311847. FASHION - WOMEN'S - PERIODICAL LE PETIT MESSAGER DES MODES ET LE CONFIDENT REUNIS: TOME VII NOS. 1-17 22-24; TOME IX NOS. 1-13 15-17. Paris: Imprim. Schneider et Langrand 1847 and 1849. Thirty-six issues illustrated with 72 lovely hand-colored engraved plates of which 33 are by Heloise Leloir and 12 by Laure Colin Noel. Quarto. Text: 27-136169-192; 104113-128121-128 pp. 10 1/4 by 7 in. Nineteenth-century binding: quarter black morocco marbled boards gilt title on spine marbled endpapers. The binding is shelfworn with top joint is starting and lower joint tender. The first issue is missing four text pages; otherwise despite some misleading errors in pagination all text is present. Most issues have a timbre royal mark a French duty stamp on one text page but not on the plates. The plates are generally clean and fresh; however there are a few exceptions: 1. - Both plates in Vol. VII no. 1 have old paper repairs on the inner margin and the top fore-corner of one has been clipped; 2. - The two plates in Vol. VII no. 2 have been trimmed 1/4" shy of the fore-edge of the bookblock; 3. - One plate in Vol. IX no. 15 which is the only horizontal image in the entire volume has been trimmed to the top-edge of the image at the fore-edge. LE PETIT MESSAGER DES MODES was a bi-weekly publication appearing on the 1st and 16th of each month comprised of eight pages of text that was to include 22 engraved plates and 3 large patterns in each six-month period. This volume is bound without any of the large patterns and instead an additional plate has been inserted wherever a pattern is called for. These `extra' plates have been supplied from issues that are not included in this volume. Although most issues are complete with text and appropriate plates together there are twelve instances in this volume including the plates-for-patterns substitutions of plates being misbound or of a plate from another issue replacing the expected plate. And so while the plates are lovely and in very good condition it is for these reasons that the volume is offered as is. unknown books

195742918Paris: Societe Paritys / Lebotys 1957. Post binder with 3 brass posts decorative screw tops. Publisher's color pictorial glazed boards blue spine and joints. Board edges rubbed and worn; short split to rear outer joint; inner joints tender paper splitting though cloth reinforcement beneath is intact. Page block foxed occasional foxing/spotting throughout; light offsetting from fabric samples to some pages. Fabric sample generally clean and bright with occasional creasing/fraying. Overall Gd. 97 pp. 16 color fashion drawings; ~ 740 pasted or tipped-in fabric samples. 16-1/8" x 12-1/8" <br/><br/>A mid-century salesman's sample catalogue from the winter collection of Parisian firm Société Paritys a haberdashery and fabric supplier established in 1946 and still in operation today. The fabric samples have been supplied by Lebotys a couture design firm in its own right and highly regarded for the quality of its textiles. As we find record of Lebotys having issued catalogues of its own collections in both the 1930s and 1960s we speculate that the two firms collaborated for a limited time possibly due to continuing post-war shortages and the need to adapt to the rapidly changing clothing market of the 1950s. The late 1950s saw a revolution in French fashion — and by extension Western fashion in general — due in no small part to the influence of material factors underlying the purely aesthetic side of the industry: availability of fabric continuing technological advances in synthetics and the surging post-war economies of America and Europe. The reluctant expansion of haute couture into the ready-to-wear market during the latter half of the century and the increasing reliance on synthetic fabrics to meet the demand would ultimately spell a major shift in the industry one that would impact fashion trends for decades to come. Some fashion houses like Dior whose “New Look” revitalized fashion at the beginning of the decade successfully managed to adapt by issuing couture ready-to-wear lines. Some however even long-established houses survived the war only to be undone by the prosperity that followed. The collaboration here of Société Paritys and Lebotys as well as the fabrics offered and styles displayed leads us to infer that the two firms were likely targeting the growing ready-to-wear market. The fabrics include a variety of silks cottons wools mohair etc. as well as nylon fibranne rayon Rhodia tergal crylor acetate and other “Matieres Synthètiques” often in blends and advertising their washable and/or antiwrinkling qualities. The styles in the illustrations still heavily influenced by the “New Look” emphasize wasp-waisted dresses hourglass silhouettes etc. No copies located on OCLC nor the major French institutions as searched on KVK.
