About the Item
This early 1960s silk satin floral printed dress suit has an attractive floral print in bright shades of cerise pink, red and purple and reminiscent of an impressionist painting. There are some very good quality design details on the dress including the wonderfully shaped and darted bodice, the piped and shaped scoop waistline and knife pleat skirt to emphasise the feminine form. The dress fastens to the rear with the original metal zip. The straps are around 1" wide at their narrowest point.
The matching jacket also has the same wonderful seaming details to echo the lines of the dress bodice and the same square design for the neck. The buttons are beautifully made in matching fabric whilst the sleeves are around elbow length. The set is beautifully lined in a chartreuse green silk fabric on the jacket and a quality pink acetate for the dress. There are no labels remaining but it is very well manufactured and there is a good deal of hand finished work along the seams. Condition wise this suit is in good to very good vintage condition. There are a couple of pinpricks in the fabric (not near bustline) but because of the busy print, these cannot be seen when worn. There is also some age related wear to some of the edging on both the under arms of the dress and the very edge of the back of the jacket neck. This is only seen on very close inspection and would not be noticed when worn. Despite these small flaws the suit presents very beautifully and will fit up to around a size UK 8-10, US 4-6. Perfect for summer weddings, events and Goodwood!

1990s Couture Silk Floral Rose Print Dress and Jacket Suit
Located in London, GB
This enchanting 1990s printed silk 2 piece set is comprised of a simple shift dress and bolero to be worn as either as an ensemble or separates. The aesthetic is playful, summery and feminine and presents easily as formal or informal attire. The soft ivory silk is slightly embossed with an irregular texture atop a vibrant rose print design in sugar pink, canary yellow, sapphire blue and emerald green. The dress is sleeveless and broad straps are gathered at the shoulders. The full circle skirt is gathered into tight uniform pleats below the waist and flares generously to the calf. The hem is fluted in yellow satin to match the pretty satin rosette embellishments that feature on the waistband and atop of each shoulder. The bodice is lined in ivory silk.
The jacket has three quarter length sleeves which are gathered at the shoulder and the cuff to create an understated fairytale puff. The wide cuffs are embellished with satin rosettes to complement those on the dress, and the seams are fluted in matching yellow ribbon. This piece has a collarless round neck and falls into a central button stand which curves at the hem and hosts 4 x yellow lucite buttons. Tailoring below the bust brings the jacket neatly in at the waist when fastened, and a pretty peplum flares out over the hips. The peplum detail becomes more exaggerated at the reverse, where it is gathered into pleats to mirror the skirt. In pristine vintage condition, this charming set would best suit a US size 4, UK size 8 or smaller. Unlabelled couture...
