1950s Blanes Black Taffeta Rose Applique Dress
About the Item
This 1950s black taffeta ball dress by quality British brand Blanes, is perfect for a black or white tie event. It has ribbon work appliqué around the folded square neckline and bottom hemline, with a fitted, Princess seamed bodice and full skirt. The top section of the dress is carefully boned internally in black muslin cotton to create a flattering, nipped in silhouette - very typical of the era. The embroidery and ribbon-work is comprised of soft pink stylised English roses, each with red gemstone detail to the centre and green leaves to the outer edges. The front lower section of the dress has a larger rose design, with a deep flounce to the bottom of the skirt and the heavy pleating gives an amazing sense of volume and movement when worn. It fastens at the rear with the original metal zip, concealed by a placket.
Made up of a lovely soft black faille material, it is very comfortable for the wearer and would best fit around a UK 10-12, or US size 6-8. It is in very good vintage condition overall; if we are being picky, some of the ribbon petals are looking a little bit tired and tinged with minor discoloration but it does not detract from the beauty and impact of the overall garment.

- 1960s Gerald McCann Black Satin and Floral Lace Cutout DressLocated in London, GBThis mid to late 1960s cocktail or party dress is composed of three tiers and a lace ruffle panelling at the bottom of the dress. Panels are made of a transparent black floral lace and black satin. The satin fabric appears to have a grain, and is lined in black polyester. The solid panels are cleverly placed to cover the bust and crotch area. The collar is a scoop neck and two bust darts can be found on the front. This dress is in excellent vintage condition save for a couple of very small pulls which are unnoticeable when the dress is being worn. Labeled a UK size 12, this runs smaller than modern sizing. Our model is a UK 6-8 or US 2-4 and this fits her well. Gerald McCann...Category
