Simon Massey 1960s Organza Floral Print Dress
About the Item
This pretty 1960s Simon Massey nylon organza floral print dress perfectly epitomises the style and feel of the London boutique scene. The designer has chosen a bold graphic floral print softened by warm, subtle tones in peach, soft lilac, amber, mulberry, and pale jade as an attractive surface design for the organza overlay of this piece. The simple shift cut under slip in soft peach generates a pleasant glow visible through the organza, leaving the sleeves sheer. The dress flares gently from the waist as the panels in the skirt open up towards the hem - this coupled with the gently tapered bishop-style cuffs makes for a romantic feel in contrast to the overall air of city chic. Four shallow pleats descending from the round neckline at the front of the dress are a smart, distinctive, yet modest feature. A well concealed central zip runs the length of the back on the reverse of the garment. This piece in in lovely condition with no notable flaws. It is worth acknowledging that the dress is a deceptively slim cut over the hip area. Would best suit US size 2, UK 6.

- 1960s Jean Muir Silk Liberty Floral Print Dress with ScarfBy Jean MuirLocated in London, GBThis is a fine Jean Muir 1960s dress and matching tassel scarf and is without question, the best ensemble from this designer we have ever had in our collection. Early in her career, Muir worked with Liberty fabric and this striking psychedelic silk print could certainly be a Liberty design. It features a riot of bright purple, blue, orange, pink and green tones in a stylised paisley print. Each of the designs, contained in long rows of bands, is slightly different. The dress is a high shirtwaister design with an empire line bust, a low scoop neck and it fastens at the front with 18 fabric buttons and loops. There is a little upturned ruffle on the waistband and the skirt is gently gathered. The sleeves have a gathered cuff and upturned ruffle that echoes the waistline. The dress bodice is not lined; however, the skirt is lined in a quality pink viscose. Labelled a UK size 12, this is small in today's sizing and probably a better fit for a UK 8-10 or US 4-6. The accompanying scarf is a double thickness triangular shape with a row of hand tied purple tassels down one side. It is doubled sided with one print matching the dress while the other side is the same design but in a different colourway, focusing on blues, turquoises and orange. It's an absolutely beautiful piece worn alone or could could be styled either side to compliment or contrast the dress colourway. A very rare set indeed to find in superb vintage condition and from the very earliest part of Jean Muir's career. One for the serious collector, wearer of fine boho...Category
