The epitome of mid-century silhouettes - class and calm elegance textured Bouclè fabric in shades of Creme paired with stunning sleeves. A wonderful dress/ensemble for a wedding or a luxury version of a breath-taking Summer dress, business dress or high tea attire.

The sleeveless dress (orderable with or without the jacket) features a fitted bodice with formed darts for an authentic 1950s silhouette and a wide oval neckline (high in the front and slightly lower in the back. The fitted, straight skirt-part features a back vent to ensure comfort and movement.

Back, lapped metal zipper. Fully lined for opacity and comfort. Couture finish: authentic invisibly (hand-) sewn hems, facings and details all-over, just how it was done back in the 1940s and 50s. The dress features internal bra strap stays on the shoulder seam to keep your bra straps in place, while enjoying a wide flattering neckline.
