1970s Harry Algo Printed Green & White Silk Chiffon Dress

About the Item

This charming 1970s dress is labelled Harry Algo, Paris. Harry Algo was a French manufacturer of high quality ready to wear designs based on haute couture designs, but at affordable prices for high end department stores in foreign markets such as Harrods and Saks 5th Avenue. In seafoam green and white, printed silk chiffon, the dress is cut to a simple shift silhouette, with darting below the bust and a neatly cinched waistline. There is a broad scoop neckline both front and reverse embellished with a delicate, pleated chiffon ruffle trim. This ruffle echoes the double layer of pleated chiffon that makes up the floaty angle-length skirt. The bishop-style sleeves are a single layer of sheer chiffon with broad cuffs that fasten with concealed popper fastenings. There is a belt feature in matching ruched chiffon that secures at the reverse with hook-and-eye fastenings. There is a concealed zip fastening at the centre reverse and the bodice is lined in pale sateen fabric. This lovely dress would be perfect for weddings and summer parties. This piece is in excellent vintage condition. Due to its age, it has no size or composition label. We believe it would fit up to a US size 8-10, UK 12-14. The fabric has no stretch. MEASUREMENTS: BUST - 40 in. (101.6 cm) WAIST - 34 in. (86.4 cm) HIP - 42 in. (106.7 cm) LENGTH - 44.5 in. (113 cm) SHOULDERS - 16.5 in. (41.9 cm)

1950s Turquoise Layered Tulle Net Halterneck Dress
Located in London, GB
This original 1950s turquoise and net prom dress is a real show-stopping, fairy tale piece. It reminds us of the Disney Princess dress worn by Cinderella at the ball. There are three layers to the skirt; an acetate underskirt, over-laid with a plain net skirt and finally the top layer. This has 11 ruffle trims added in rows which give the dress a very full and sweeping profile. The boned bodice is also in the same coloured ruched fabric, imitating taffeta silk with net trim to the sweetheart neckline. The dress has a very pleasing detachable layered net halter neck that widens over the shoulders to give a little cape like effect. Fastening to the rear with the original concealed centre back zip and hook and eye closure. A long bow...
