About the Item

American modernist Claire McCardell defined the 50's in her casual yet refined designs for the American market. Her "Go to" silhouette of a bias cut fitted bodice with full skirt is both classic and eternally flattering. Cut in a typically american fabric, a crisp cotton faille with a tiny Victorian print. Tiny mother of pearl buttons define the front of the dress with hand made loops. The bodice elongates the waist to a point and releases a super full gathered skirt with deep anchoring hem. Large portrait lapels frame the face with small tight cap sleeves. Excellent condition. bust 30, waist 25, 16 to waist plus 27" to hem. overarm 11" hip 120", hem 130"
