Portrait de Marthe Chenal (1921). Albert Braïtou-Sala (Tunisian-French, 1885-1972). Bibliothèque-Musée de l'Opéra National de Paris.

Marthe Chenal was a French operatic soprano whose career was mainly centered at the Palais Garnier and the Opéra-Comique. She particularly excelled in the works of Jules Massenet. Chenal was admired not only for her excellent singing but also her dramatic prowess, with a number of critics comparing her Sarah Bernhardt. A remarkably attractive woman, Chenal was dubbed by the international press as "the most beautiful woman in Paris."

Playing Dress Match-up: a painted dress and the actual dress or a close match.

Albert Braïtou-Sala (Spanish, 1885-1972) • Portrait of Marthe Chenal • 1921 • National Library of France Opera Museum

Isn't Marthe grand? And, of course, very rich. I could not find a dress that to my estimate was a good match. That bias cut bodice made from what looks like metallic silk, with a flowy but curve flattering skirt of perhaps crepe? It slightly gathers at the waist, falling to the ankles with a subtle, elegant train in back. Really gorgeous. In my search there were many more dresses of the 1930s that fit this profile. The one below, for example. It was worn by the American businesswoman and socialite, Marjorie Merriweather Post.I posted about her portrait here.

Evening Dress • American • c. 1933 • Cream silk crêpe, cream organza

In 1921, the flapper trend was only beginning to take shape. Waists had dropped a bit and would continue into the decade to drop further.

Fashion changes from 1924-1925

Although I didn't find a dress I liked as a match-up to the portrait of Marthe Chenal, I did find an evening coat that resembles the one she's so brilliantly flaunting.
