1950s Fuchsia Pink Jacquard Dress and Coat Ensemble

About the Item

This stunning cocktail dress and jacket were made in the 1950s by American boutique label Mardi Gras. We love this label at Circa as everything we have seen is so well made. The high-shine raspberry jacquard is detailed with roses and vines of ivy - as though plucked from an English garden - which shine in a shade of candy pink as they catch the light. The dress is cut to a classic sheath shape, with a nipped-in waist and wide straps. The skirt is double pleated at the waist and falls to the knee in a pencil style. It has a flattering rounded neckline and a lowered back. It fastens at the back with a hidden tonal zip and hook-and-eye clasp. It is lined at the top with crimson cotton and the skirt is lined with a stiff raspberry gauze which means that it holds its shape. The matching jacket is the perfect accompaniment to this fuchsia dress. Tailored in a duster coat style, it falls to the same knee-length as the dress. It has an elegant raised neck and wide, cropped half sleeves that reveal the arms as this ensemble would almost certainly have been worn with gloves and and fine jewellery. It is adorned with two decadent buttons smothered in fuchsia and pale lilac rhinestones and fastens with hidden fabric-covered snap closures which have been hand-sewn on. The jacket is lined in hot pink satin and it has in-seam pockets at the waist. The dress and jacket are both in excellent vintage condition with no issues and very fresh looking. There is no fabric or composition label so please check the below measurements carefully. The fabric has no stretch. We estimate a good fit for sizes up to a UK 10 or US 6.
