Identifying 1920s dress? Label A. Renauld & Defanget Paris

I am desperately trying to help my inlaws find the origins of this lovely vintage dress that has been in their family for decades. A couple of vintage collectors I spoke with believe it is from the 1920s but none are familiar with the Parisian Label/brand. The dress weighs a considerable amount due to the heavy beading on the complete upper portion of the bodice. The dress has been in storage for decades, it was gifted to my husbands grandmother sometime in the 50's from a neighbour that traveled abroad but that is all we really know.

Yes I do believe it is from the 1920s. I haven't come across that maker before but I have seen that design. If you want to sell it at any time please let me know.
 
I tried to find information about Renauld & Defanget, but there was nothing. After staring at the label many times I realized, a few minutes ago, that it says "de fanget" and when I searched for that I found the result below. I will look for others when I return...

The item here reports the dissolution of A. Renault and de Fanget, sellers of dresses (I think it says). Their address is next and the dissolution/liquidation date was Sept. 20, 1935. The last two columns are labeled "Juges" (judges?) and "Syndics" (trustees?):

This is some progress, thank you for digging into the archives for me. I came up empty handed as it's long before the times of the interwebs.
