1950s Strapless Blue Floral Evening Dress With Fishtail Hem

About the Item

This show-stopping 1950s floral strapless dress with fishtail hem is designed to turn heads. The rose print design is in a man-made sateen type fabric of electric blue, navy and dusky pink. Coupled with the incredible construction, the simple silhouette of the piece would suit an hourglass figure. The bodice is corseted to further accentuate the waistband and lift the bust. There is a subtle sweetheart curvature to complement the bare shoulders with lengthy darts at the front and reverse to further sculpt the bodice. The key feature however is undoubtedly the magnificently structured mermaid style fishtail hem. Gathered at the mid-calf into a fan of neat and evenly spaced pleats, the tail is skilfully reinforced with a thick starched fabric and stiff netting to ensure the classic silhouette is maintained to the fullest. A truly fabulous unlabelled piece and in lovely condition, would best suit US size 6, UK size 10. MEASUREMENTS: BUST - 33 in. (83.82 cm) WAIST - 28 in. (71.12 cm) HIP - 36 in. (91.44 cm) LENGTH - 50 in. (127 cm)

  • 1960s Tony Armstrong Raw Silk Turquoise Dress
    Located in London, GB
    This 1960s Tony Armstrong evening dress is cut in a classic and flattering column silhouette with a high rounded neckline and short, slightly capped sleeves. The front is very lightly embroidered with fine blue thread in a criss-cross pattern. This continues round to the back of the dress, where a concealed original metal zipper ensures a smooth and seamless fit. A pair of right and left darts to the front and back emphasises the waist. The fabric is a very fine quality peacock blue raw silk with a satin sheen to it whilst it is fully lined in a lilac coloured acetate. A best fit for around a UK 8-10 or US 4-6. Superb vintage condition and looks barely worn, we noted only a small area of discoloration to the lining near both the sleeve underarms but this is totally unseen when worn. Tony Armstrong was a British couture...
