{"product_id":"1950s-lee-delman-white-organza-hand-painted-maxi-dress","title":"1950s Lee Delman White Organza Hand Painted Maxi Dress","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis pretty late 1950s to early 1960s gown was designed by British designer Lee Delman. The label retailed in Harrods and sat in the top echelons of British ready-to-wear during the 1950s and 1960s. The dress is cut to a floor-length silhouette from layers of white synthetic organza, hand-painted with tulip motifs in shades of pink, purple and green. The fitted bodice is softly gathered and internally boned for structure, with delicate sheer organza shoulder straps and a wide ruched organza waistband. The full skirt falls with plenty of volume and is lined in layers of white tulle, cream satin and white linen to give it its shape. It fastens at the back with its original zip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gown is in very good to excellent vintage condition and presents beautifully. There are a few fine cracks within the painted decoration on the skirt, which appear consistent with the original finish and contribute to the artwork's painterly, abstract appearance. They do not detract from the overall presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no surviving size or composition labels. Based on the measurements, we recommend it for approximately a UK 8 (US 4) or smaller, with generous room through the hips. Please refer to the measurements to ensure the best fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBUST - 32 in. (81 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWAIST - 27 in.
