Pauline Trigère Archival Vintage Elegant Bohemian Evening Dress + Scarf Set

An archival Pauline Trigère dress with coordinating scarf, rendered in an intricate black-and-ivory paisley with richly ornamental borders. The elaborate print is balanced by a beautifully restrained silhouette, with a high mock neckline, long sleeves and functional side pockets creating an elegant yet remarkably wearable design.

Fully lined, with zippered cuffs and a back zipper—all marked TALON—and three hook-and-loop closures finishing the neckline. The coordinating long scarf repeats the paisley and border motif and can be worn draped, wrapped or styled separately.

Made in the USA of imported fabric, with the original Pauline Trigère and vintage union labels present. Matching scarf included.

Tagged Size: No standard manufacturer size tag noted. The union label bears a handwritten notation that appears to read “C 12,” possibly indicating the original size 12.

Modern Size Estimate: Please rely on measurements for fit, as vintage sizing can differ considerably from modern sizing.

Approximate Measurements:
Pit to pit: 16.5–17”

Measurements are taken flat and are approximate. Please compare with a similar garment that fits you well.

Condition: Beautiful vintage condition overall. Some puckering is present at the front mock neckline. Interior hem stitching may indicate a previous alteration, though this cannot be confirmed. A few loose thread ends are visible along the interior hem/seam area; the hem remains intact. Light surface fuzz and possible pet hair may be present. No obvious stains or major damage noted upon inspection. Please review photographs closely.

Preparation: Due to the delicate nature and age of this vintage garment, it has not been washed, steamed or dry cleaned by us and is being offered as found. No obvious scent or visible dirt was noted upon inspection. Professional cleaning is recommended to the buyer’s preference before wear.
