Jay Thorpe Spring Evening Gowns, ca. 1913.

Super excited to have found this original design sketch for an evening gown in my collection.

This gown, model no. 534, comes from the Spring 1913 Evening Gown line by Jay Thorpe in New York City. In the sketch, it is described as a satin dress with black and cream laces, a light blue satin ribbon sash, and pink roses. All evident on the gown I have.

The beautiful frock was nicknamed “Marie Antoinette.” A few other designs from this same line even had their original prices on them. One dress was $155.00 while another was $275.00! In today’s money that would be about $4,100.00 and $7,300.00!! They definitely weren’t cheap!

Jay Thorpe was an exclusive department store and sold high end French fashion design labels. The 1913 and 1914 fashion line featured designs from Paquin, Drecoll, Callot Soeurs, and Lucile!

I never would’ve thought I’d be able to see an original design sketch for any dress in my collection. I’m so glad it was this one!
