1950s Sambo Fashions Cotton Floral Print Dress With Full Skirt
About the Item
This lovely 1950s cotton floral print dress is by collectable vintage brand "Sambo" fashions designed by Samuel Sherman and is of beautiful quality as well as in excellent vintage condition. Sambo designs were well known for their lively printed summer dresses and use of high quality cottons, for example Marchington Cottons and often likened to celebrated brand Horrockses. This charming piece showcases these attributes to perfection. The thick cotton fabric is printed with an abstract floral design in pretty pastel tones - pink and yellow flowers are scattered over a mottled pale blue and white design reminiscent of faded denim. The dress has a soft, feminine line with a wide scoop neck, short sleeves and princess seams on the bodice to define the bust and waist. The waistband is skillfully cut into a zig-zag line and is defined with a dainty piped seam before falling into a full ankle length skirt. The skirt fabric is wonderfully generous and has volume which could be further accentuated with a petticoat. There is a central zip fastening at the reverse. This delightful piece would be a striking contrast with bold coloured accessories. Would best suit a US size 6-8, UK size 10-12.

- 1950s Diana Warren White Tulle Dress With Ribbon AppliquéBy Diana WarrenLocated in London, GBA beautiful and timeless original 1950s pure white tulle ribbon appliqué work dress from high-end British boutique label Diana Warren. Classic scoop neck, cap sleeves, a fitted bodice and pleating to the waist, the dress is adorned all over in scrolling ribbon appliqué work over a net overlay. The underskirt lining is a lightweight acetate with a net mid layer. The dress fastens at the back with a metal zip and is styled in the photos without a petticoat.
