Kitty Copeland 1950s Black Taffeta Silk Dress With Polkadot Detail
About the Item
This stylish vintage 1950s Kitty Copeland black silk taffeta dress with polkadot detail and peplum sash boasts timeless city chic and unusual design features. The taffeta overlay has a playful machine embroidered bronze polkadot motif to contrast the starched texture of the fabric. The dress is sleeveless and a simple shift cut but unusually the fabric in the bodice is loose fitting, creating a slight puff above the gathered waistband. The silk sash is partially stitched into the gathered waist, leaving the remainder loose, with hook eye fastenings. When fastened, it presents as a peplum with a slanting parcel bow detail positioned to the left. The reverse has a central zip fastening below the waist, and 4 popper fastenings concealed by 1" fabric covered buttons from the waist to the neck. In superb vintage condition, would fit up to US size 6, UK size 10.
