# 7444 - c. 1980's JACQUELINE de RIBES, Made in France Off-White Lace and Satin Blouse!   In July 2011, Vanity Fair Magazine voted Jacqueline de Ribes as one of the "International Best-Dressed Hall of Fame" recipients. She married to become a Countess and was well known as a style maker long before she became a designer. In 1983, the year she started her design firm, Town and Country magazine named her the “Most Stylish Woman in the World.”  Her line was luxurious, expensive and was well received, especially in the USA.  This blouse is totally sheer off-white lace with ecru satin neckline sash (to tie into a floppy bow as you see) and French cuffs (you'll need cufflinks... and certainly you'll need to wear a camisole under!).  I sold another Jaqueline de Ribes dress that I found the original ad for the dress at $7,000 when new in the 1980s!!!   So just to give you a clue as the value of this label!  This is probably the softest satin you'll ever feel!!!!!  Exquisite fabrication!  Measures: up to 34" bust.  Near mint condition.  There are no shoulderpads but you can see the blouse has a puffy shoulder shape. A simple skirt or satin pants would be awesome!
