1960s Sambo Fashions Yellow and Pink Floral Dress

About the Item

Late 1950s or early 1960s sundress design from Sambo Fashions which was a quality British brand operating throughout the 40s to 60s. I really love the print on this dress; a pretty rose pattern band interspersed by what appears to be a tromp l'oeil design for a leather embossed strap. Very alpine looking. The bodice is squared off and darted to perfection with a pipe seamed waist and a gently gathered skirt that falls to around the mid-calf. The dress fastens to the rear with the original zip. The bodice is double lined with the same dress fabric while the skirt element uses honeycomb tulle to support the structure of the balloon shape skirt. In absolutely beautiful vintage condition with no issues of any note. This dress is extra small and best suited for a UK size 6 or below. The colours of the dress are chartreuse, tan, pink and forest green. MEASUREMENTS Bust - 32 in. (81.3 cm) Waist - 23 in. (58.4 cm) Hip - 42 in. (106.7 cm) Length - 43.5 in. (110.5 cm) Shoulders - N/A

  • 1960s Jean Muir Silk Liberty Floral Print Dress with Scarf
    By Jean Muir
    Located in London, GB
    This is a fine Jean Muir 1960s dress and matching tassel scarf and is without question, the best ensemble from this designer we have ever had in our collection. Early in her career, Muir worked with Liberty fabric and this striking psychedelic silk print could certainly be a Liberty design. It features a riot of bright purple, blue, orange, pink and green tones in a stylised paisley print. Each of the designs, contained in long rows of bands, is slightly different. The dress is a high shirtwaister design with an empire line bust, a low scoop neck and it fastens at the front with 18 fabric buttons and loops. There is a little upturned ruffle on the waistband and the skirt is gently gathered. The sleeves have a gathered cuff and upturned ruffle that echoes the waistline. The dress bodice is not lined; however, the skirt is lined in a quality pink viscose. Labelled a UK size 12, this is small in today's sizing and probably a better fit for a UK 8-10 or US 4-6. The accompanying scarf is a double thickness triangular shape with a row of hand tied purple tassels down one side. It is doubled sided with one print matching the dress while the other side is the same design but in a different colourway, focusing on blues, turquoises and orange. It's an absolutely beautiful piece worn alone or could could be styled either side to compliment or contrast the dress colourway. A very rare set indeed to find in superb vintage condition and from the very earliest part of Jean Muir's career. One for the serious collector, wearer of fine boho...
