About the Item
This well constructed dress is from department store Rackhams which was owned by Harrods in the 1960s. It has classic Princess cut seams falling into a beautiful A-line shape. It is a wonderful feminine colour of pink and the fabric is designed to look like raw silk however we suspect it is a more of a blend - silk rayon perhaps. This could easily be worn as formal day wear to the races or for a wedding as well as a cocktail dress. The front is deceptively simple in design with a shallow scoop neckline. The rear features a really beautiful fabric flower on a tail train. This train is integral to the dress but is attached in the closed position with dual poppers to the waist band to allow access to the zip. Although there is no underskirt there is some netted stiffened fabric to hold the shape of the dress and fan out the tail section beautifully.
We suspect this was a bridesmaids dress originally and the dress presents beautifully. It has a very nice quality about it in terms of construction and is in excellent vintage condition with no faults to mention. Will fit UK size 8-10 or US 4-6.
Rackhams became part of the Harrods group in 1955 and later in the 1970s, was chosen to represent the Midland's brand name of Harrods.
