About the Item

Rendered in a classic silhouette, this original 1950's cream dress, with delicate pleated details, is just the piece for your timeless collection. The bateau cut neckline is accented by a pleated cowl feature, which radiates from the left hand side shoulder line, beneath a pleated loop from which a pleated sash drapes along the front of the bodice to join the central part of the waist seam. The sleeveless cut, sets off the fitted bodice, which is accented by soft pleats from the cowl neckline, and the elegant pleated sash. The cinched in waistline, draws the eye to the elegant line of the skirt, which boasts pleats that radiate from the central part of the waistline, mimicking the pleated design along the base of the bodice. Finished with a rounded scooped backline, this dress showcases the iconic figure flattering silhouette of the era. This dress is fully lined in acrylic.

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. The Carlye Dress...
