ARCHIVE - 1950s Navy and White Diamond Print Strapless Sundress and Bolero

£0.00 Sold out
What a fabulous 1950s ensemble of dress and bolero! This set boasts crisp cotton and a great print which is as vibrant as the day the dress was made. In a classic sundress style with a square cut bodice that is beautifully shaped, leading to a full flared pleated skirt - such a timeless style. The dress has large side pockets and belt loops for a belt which is no longer with the dress - these could easily be removed by scissors if desired or a belt added. The matching bolero jacket ties just below the bust line and has short dolman sleeves - the perfect little cover up or worn on its own over a little top. This dress has no labels but has been extremely well executed by a competent seamstress or dressmaker. It is in very fresh vintage condition with no issues of any note and would fit up to UK 8, US 4. Our model is a UK 6-8, US 2-4.

F.A.Q.

Will you set anything aside for me before I come?

We are happy to find anything you may be interested in from our website. We have an extensive offline collection. It is helpful if you can let us know your size, style, favourite colour to wear and perhaps your budget in advance of your appointment.

Do I need to bring anything with me?

Clients may wish to bring modern shapewear. You may also wish to bring favourite footwear. We often find a classic pair of nude shoes work well when trying-on, or gold and silver. We have a huge variety of slip dresses and petticoats to complete your look. Many of which are also for sale.
