1950s Harrods Grey Gradient Embroidered Dress

We really love the design features of this feminine and original 1950s dress with a retail label from Harrods. It is wonderfully understated with a deep grey v shaped bodice that gradually lightens through the layers of the skirt all the way to the hem. The middle banding is a much lighter grey followed by a longer bottom tier of pure white cotton. The colour changes on each layer have been embroidered with an intricate machine over stitch which gives the illusion of lace trimming separating the layers. The embroidery extends either side of the join in a repeat decorative motif. The dress is finished with a dainty bow along the piped waistline and fastens to the rear with the original metal zip. The cotton is a very lightweight making the dress a great choice for warmer weather but equality the colour combination would work well as a layering piece. It retains its original mid calf length hemline and is in really excellent vintage condition with no faults of any note. It is clean and ready to wear and will fit around a UK size 6-8 US 2-4.
