Robe de Style.

Explanation:

Hello!

Jeanne Marie Lanvin was born in Paris in 1867 and died in Le Vecinet, in 1946. She was a very successful couture dressmaker.

Robe de Style was devised with a romantic aspect, which was very well received by conservative women in the early '20s. They preferred this style over the straight-cut camisole dress, very popular to the flappers.

The skirt unmistakably characterized Robe de Style, which was full and its length varied from the panther to the ankles.
