About the Item
This late 1950s dress showcases many of the era’s fashionable hallmarks. We love the faux double-breasted front with chunky white plastic buttons and the boat neckline. The nipped-in waist and pleated full-skirt create the classic, highly feminine silhouette that was beloved in the 1950s. This dress is tailored from a dark grey and white cotton printed with jagged-edged squares that reads as a gingham pattern from a distance. The wide collar is double-layered and topped with contrasting white textured cotton, adding a nautical feel; it wraps around the neckline to form a Peter Pan style collar at the back of the dress. The skirt is lined with a super-soft, crinkled cotton flock cloth to add volume. The dress is fastened at the rear with a zip and hook-and-eye clasp. In superb vintage condition with no issues; very crisp and fresh and a well-made piece, probably British, despite no label present. Our model is a UK 8-10 or US 4-6 and 5ft 11in (180cm) and this dress was a good fit on her.

1950s Carlye Cream Cotton Knife Pleat Dress
By Carlye
Located in London, GB
A classic example of good quality American day wear. We love this vintage label - Carlye pieces just ooze refinement. This creamy beige cotton knife pleat dress has an elegant scoop neck augmented with 2 pearlescent buttons. These fasten on the shoulders and are purely decorative. There is an additional ochre coloured over-stitched zig-zag pattern on the neckline. The dress has an interesting and continuous arrangement of knife pleats both on the bodice and the skirt. The knife pleats on the bodice are formed on an additional panel which you can pass your hand through. The panel is attached at the waist and the neckline and this feature was to ensure that the pleats align closely with that of the skirt when wearing.
The bodice is lined in the same fine cotton fabric whilst the skirt is unlined. There is a side pocket just below the original metal zip at the side. The condition is excellent - we have noticed one small brown faded mark very close to the waistband; barely noticeable and we inspected a few times before seeing this. This would also be covered by any belt. Best fit for UK size 8-10, US size 4-6 and of smaller stature as Carlye was a petite range brand. Our model is a UK 6-8 and 5ft 4in. (163cm) and this dress was slightly roomy on her.
