About the Item

This breezy shirtwaister dress was crafted in the 1950s to early 1960s. Tailored from thick but soft textured linen, it is the stand-out print that attracts attention. Geometric forms in grey and vibrant turquoise are sketched across the cloth in an abstract manner that only adds to its arty, stylish appeal. The silhouette is simple, with a flattering nipped-in waistline formed from gathered pleats at the waist. The flat belt in coordinating cloth accentuates the waist further. The open-collar and short sleeves imbue this dress with a casual feel, as does the button down front. Unlabelled but of very good quality with nice hand finished details. The dress is in very good to excellent vintage condition overall. We consider surviving belts from this era a bonus but there is a bit of rust coloured discoloration around the buckle. You could of course add a different belt if desired but the dress is perfectly wearable without. Slight markings noted around neckline but only on the inside. A best fit for a UK size 8-10 or US 4-6. MEASUREMENTS Bust - 36 in. (91 cm) Waist - 28 in. (71 cm) Hip - 36 in. (91 cm) Length - 44.5 in. (113 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...
