1950s Floral Print Silk Dress and Jacket Suit

About the Item

Very pretty late 1950s to early 1960s floral print silk dress and jacket set. The dress has a high, rounded neckline with notched detail, short sleeves, and fastens down the back with the original metal zipper. It is nipped in at the waist with a separate, thin fabric belt and then flows into an A-line flared skirt. The jacket has gathered sleeves, slightly puffed at the shoulder and finished at the cuff with two fabric covered buttons each. It is lined in a sky blue acetate and closes at the front with covered popper fastenings. The fabric of both the dress and jacket is a lovely muted pea green, with a powder blue, turquoise, peach and white ditsy floral pattern. Both garments are in wonderful vintage condition with no faults or stains to note. Although unlabelled, both have been very well made by a competent dress maker, perhaps for an atelier. There is a good deal of hand finished work and generous seam allowances. The ensemble would best fit up to a size UK 10 or US 6. MEASUREMENTS DRESS Bust - 35 in. (89 cm) Waist - 27 in.

  • 1990s Couture Silk Floral Rose Print Dress and Jacket Suit
    Located in London, GB
    This enchanting 1990s printed silk 2 piece set is comprised of a simple shift dress and bolero to be worn as either as an ensemble or separates. The aesthetic is playful, summery and feminine and presents easily as formal or informal attire. The soft ivory silk is slightly embossed with an irregular texture atop a vibrant rose print design in sugar pink, canary yellow, sapphire blue and emerald green. The dress is sleeveless and broad straps are gathered at the shoulders. The full circle skirt is gathered into tight uniform pleats below the waist and flares generously to the calf. The hem is fluted in yellow satin to match the pretty satin rosette embellishments that feature on the waistband and atop of each shoulder. The bodice is lined in ivory silk. The jacket has three quarter length sleeves which are gathered at the shoulder and the cuff to create an understated fairytale puff. The wide cuffs are embellished with satin rosettes to complement those on the dress, and the seams are fluted in matching yellow ribbon. This piece has a collarless round neck and falls into a central button stand which curves at the hem and hosts 4 x yellow lucite buttons. Tailoring below the bust brings the jacket neatly in at the waist when fastened, and a pretty peplum flares out over the hips. The peplum detail becomes more exaggerated at the reverse, where it is gathered into pleats to mirror the skirt. In pristine vintage condition, this charming set would best suit a US size 4, UK size 8 or smaller. Unlabelled couture...

    By Vivienne Westwood
    Located in CAPELLE AAN DEN IJSSEL, ZH
    Stunning leopard 3 piece set is notable piece from Vivienne Westwood's 1994 fw collection. The print made its debut in October 1993 during the Fall/Winter 1994 "Café Society' collection, representing one of the designer's most iconic moments. On that memorable occasion, the jacket adorned the graceful model, Helena Christensen. "Café Society" reimagines European history's impact on women's fashion, posing the question: How does a woman appear when freed from restrictions? Vivienne Westwood, a challenger of fashion authority, draws inspiration from Charles Frederick Worth, the 19th-century founder of haute couture. By incorporating elements like ivory tassels, Westwood transforms the traditional Victorian bustle...
