About the Item

Late 1950s to early 1960s piece by designer Victor Josselyn who used premium fabrics and production values to produce fashionable clothing for high end department stores in Great Britain during the 1940s - 1960s. The dress is cut in a classic tea dress shape with short, dropped shoulder sleeves and a neat V-shape neckline. It is gathered under the bust to create a lovely soft feminine shape with a wide and flattering waist panel. The skirt portion is pleated all around to create volume and movement which was so typical of the silhouettes of the era. Although unlined, the dress itself is completely opaque, featuring a delicate pink and green rosebud spray design over soft grey silk, with a slight luminosity to it – the perfect piece for summer. Photographed here without a petticoat but one can be added for extra volume and the wow factor!. In excellent vintage condition with no flaws, fade or issues. There are discreet belt loops although the original belt has unfortunately become separated over time; could easily be replaced with a belt of your choice or the removal of the loops themselves. Best fit for a up to a size UK 8 or US 4 and smaller. Our model is a UK 6-8 and 5ft 4in. (163cm) and this dress was a great fit on her. MEASUREMENTS: BUST: 34 in. ( 86.36 cm ) SHOULDER: 17 in.

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...
