About the Item
We really love the simplicity of the design of this smock dress. Its so well made it could be anywhere from the late 1930s through to the early 1960s and has a timeless, contemporary feel. Note the scallop hems and pretty sage-green stitching that trims the square-neckline and fluttering short-sleeves. The dress is cut to a relaxed, floaty fit with a calf-length skirt. It is detailed with intricate smocking across the chest and around the waist which is stitched with sage-green thread. At the back of the shoulders, the dress has a curved hemline under which soft pleats fall down the length of the dress. The waist is cinched by two apron ties that are attached to the side of the waist. It is unlined with no fastenings so simply pulls on over the head.
In really fabulous vintage condition with no issues and although unlabelled, it is a very well made homemaker piece. Our model is: Bust: 37” (94cm), Waist 31” (80cm), Hips: 45” (114cm) and 5' 10.5" (180cm), this dress was a great fit on her with room to spare. Due to the apron style, it will fit a wide variety of sizes up to a UK 16 or US 12.

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.
