About the Item
This truly mesmerising 1940's dress, rendered in the softest shade of cream crepe silk and accented by delicate pleated details, is the perfect timeless piece to add to your vintage collection.
The rounded neckline of the dress, is framed by a soft turned down collar, which draws in along the nape with rhinestone button and loop fastenings. The simple shoulder line, sets off the elegant wide cut short length sleeves, which are accented by box pleats and join the backline in a detailed pleated cape-like feature along either side of the button fastenings. This construction is created using one panel of pleated crepe silk along each side, which begins along the top of the shoulder line, contouring the sleeve seams and continues to join the backline.The timeless cut of the bodice, is accented by a central smocking stitched panel positioned beneath the soft collar, which creates subtle pleats along the front of the bust-line and bodice. The fitted waistline, sets off the elegant peplum panel along the top of the hipline, which in turn frames the running seams along the front central part of the skirt-line, which lead the elegant knife pleats, completing this piece in a truly iconic 1940's silhouette.

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.
