About the Item

A beautiful vintage evening dress that can be exactly dated to 1962 by the label - Lang originals, which was a brand of the American fashion house Jean Lang and founded in 1916. The dress is a lovely quality black and red plaid pattern in either real or manmade silk as the underlay fabric. The dress has then been overlaid with a black floral lace. Around the armholes there is a tiny rose patterned lace trim which is also present along the shallow scoop neckline and the gathered waist to disguise the seam. The bottom of the lace skirt has a deep scallop edge. The dress fastens to the rear with seven glass faceted buttons. In outstanding vintage condition, the dress is beautifully fresh and looks to have been barely worn with no faults of any note. Will best fit size UK 6 or US 0-2 on account of the small waist.

1950s Red Silk Off-The-Shoulder Dress
Located in London, GB
This colour-block red silk cocktail dress was manufactured in America in the mid-1950s. The off-the-shoulder tailoring adds a playfully sensuous detail, whilst the cap-sleeves, cinched waist and pleated full skirt are trademarks of the era. The taffeta crimson silk has a lovely thick texture and supports the structured style of the dress. The flamboyant bow and collared neckline give way to ruched fabric at the waist. Lined in silk organza and closes with a hidden central zip to the rear. Although unlabelled, the dress is excellent quality and probably made for a high-end US department store. Photographed and modelled without under skirts...
