Dalida is a 1924 by Madeleine & Madeleine, depicting Bodice, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
A woman stands sideways in a sleek black dress. The top is satin, cut low with a row of tiny dots along the neckline. Her skirt shimmers with silver threads and layers of sheer tulle at the sides. She wears long gloves, black heels, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The sketch looks like it’s for a fashion design—maybe a dress for a special night out. The artist wrote notes in French about the materials: satin, sequins, and tulle. Look up sequin to see how these sparkly threads were made.
These artists left a small but striking set of 1924 drawings and designs that mix fashion and line.
