1950s Bramel Model Lace and Beaded Black Sheath Dress

About the Item

British high-end label Bramel designed this dress in the 1950s or very early 1960s. A graceful V-neckline and wide shoulders at the front and back is highly flattering. Black lace sits under tonal satin appliquéd botanical forms and pretty beaded flowers. A hidden black zip secures the rear, with a vent in the hem to allow easy movement despite the form-fitting silhouette. The dress is exceptionally well made and separately lined in a high quality rayon blend. It will fall to knee length or just below and fit a range of sizes up to UK 12 or US 8. Excellent vintage condition, save for a small degree of shine in places to the satin a.k.a 'iron shine'. Not noticeable when the dress is worn. Our model is a UK 8-10 and 5ft 11in (180 cm) and this dress fit her well. MEASUREMENTS Bust - 39 in. (99.1 cm) Waist - 32 in. (81.3 cm) Hip - 41 in. (104 cm) Length - 40 in. (101.5 cm)
