1980s Navy and White Polka Dot and Floral Dress
About the Item
This 1980s dress, made in France, is by New Bond Street-based brand The White House and displays many of the era's boldest hallmarks - note the peplum waist, puff-shoulders and vibrant print. The smooth silk fabric is printed with a splashy navy and white polka-dot print alongside painterly florals in turquoise, orange and pink. It is cut with a wrap-around cross-over waist, detailed with three fabric-covered buttons on the left side of the waist. The same buttons secure the cuffs on the three-quarter length sleeves. A coordinating belt cinches the waist, and a hidden zip closes the rear. The skirt portion is lined in soft white viscose. The dress is in very good vintage condition; two small fabric pulls noted, very faint underarm halos and a very faint mark on the bodice none of which is seen when worn. We missed them until inspecting very closely. Will fit up to a UK size 10-12 or US 6-8.
The White House was the grande dame at No 51-52 and retailed the finest fabric and homewares in the exclusive Bond Street precinct, London. They had a renowned ready to wear and couture salon from 1906 until the store was sold off in 1997. The building is presently occupied by Emporio Armani.
