About the Item

We love the colour combination on this 1960s Jean Allen maxi dress. The print mixes warm golden highlights together with navy blue accents on cream in a painterly, abstract pattern. The dress has an inverted empire line and scoop neck from which flows a fantastic manmade organza overlay which falls to around ankle length. The dress is lined in a very fine quality acetate and fastens to the rear with the original metal zip. There is a slight sheen to the organza. The bust line and bottom hem of the dress is trimmed in blue satin to coordinate with the blue accents and a long bow to the centre completes the look. In really superb vintage condition with no faults of any note, this would make a fantastic dress for a summer wedding or soiree. Best fit for a UK 8-10 or US 4-6. Jean Allen was a high end British label manufacturing dresses to be sold in department stores from the 1950s through to the 1970s. Our model is a UK 6-8 and 5ft 4in (163cm) and this dress was a little roomy on her bust but otherwise fit her well. MEASUREMENTS Bust - 34 in. (86.4 cm) Waist - 26 in. (66 cm) Hip - 37 in. (94 cm) Length - 53.5 in. (135.9 cm) Shoulders - 15 in. (38.1 cm)
