1950s Hattie Carnegie Silk Floral Print Watercolor Nipped Waist Dress
By Hattie Carnegie
Located in Boca Raton, FL
From the early 1950s comes this heavenly silk dress by Hattie Carnegie. Its nipped-waist silhouette is the perfect canvas for the gorgeous watercolor print that unfolds upon it: a blanket of pretty peonies in shades of pink, gray, white, lavender and, of course, Carnegie blue. “My clothes are built to show off the woman who wears them,” the American designer once said. “I like them to be simple—complicated and simple—to move well, to move with the times and a little ahead of them.” Still stunning today, this vintage treasure is a reflection of her philosophy—and a ladylike option for so many occasions, from a springtime luncheon to a summertime wedding or garden party. Measurements Size estimate: XS/S Bust: 32 inches Waist: 24 inches Hips: 34 inches Length: 42 inches This vintage Hattie Carnegie dress...
