About the Item

This is a beautifully finished 1960s textured linen work dress in a light cream oatmeal shade. It tapers from the bust to the waist in a classic 60s shift shape and flows down into a pencil silhouette. The rounded neckline and shoulder straps are trimmed with a plain linen border, while the main fabric is embroidered with a contrasting shade of cream thread in swirling, geometric flower like patterns. The dress is lined with a panel at the front in a silk-feel fabric, and fastens with the original zip closure at the back. The pockets (perhaps its best feature!) are finished with a bow detail on both the right and left hand sides. The dress is in truly excellent vintage condition and looks barely worn with no faults. Although it has no label, it has been very well made for most likely, a high end department store in the US. It would best suit a UK 8-10 or 4-6 US.

1960s American Dress and Coat Ensembles

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. The Carlye Dress...
