About the Item
Blanes was a well regarded London ready to wear house that was in operations from the 1940s to the late 1960s. The clothes were very well made and retailed in some of the top department stores of the day. This late 1950s to early 1960s dress is crafted from frothy polka-dot chiffon in pale beige and white. The generous tailoring of the fabric adds to the floaty feel, with the ruched bust, pleated waistband and full, flared skirt creating a billowing effect. The tailoring cinches the waist and accentuates the bust and hips; extremely flattering on a feminine figure. The bodice is lined in white cotton and the skirt in satin in a pretty, pale peach acetate / viscose blend. A hidden zip fastens this dress at the rear and is accompanied by three hook-and-eye clasps. In excellent vintage condition; we noted some light marking to the entirely hidden underskirt. Suggested best fit for a UK 8-10 or US 4-6. Our model is a UK 6-8 and 5ft 4 in (163cm) and this dress was slightly roomy on her.

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.
