About the Item
Royal couturier Donald Campbell had two London boutiques from the 1970s through to 2009 in fashionable Chelsea, and Knightsbridge, London. The brand used couture fabrics to create high-end ready-to-wear clothing and Princess Diana wore several of his designs for formal events.
This elegant dress is tailored from a fluid silk jersey crepe with a red and navy print of painterly florals dotted with white detailing. Theatrical bell-sleeves are cut from generous swathes of fabric which pools around the gathered cuffs and secured with zips. It has a feminine shape with a nipped-in waist and flared, swirling skirt. The neckline has a V-shape and it fastens at the back of the neck with a hidden tonal navy zip and hook-and-eye clasp. The dress comes with a coordinating scarf which can also be styled as a sash belt in matching fabric with beautiful tassel detailing created from strips of ribbon and braided wool in navy and red. This dress is unlined.
In excellent vintage condition with no issues of any note. Due to its age, it has no size or composition labels so please check out measurements below carefully. The fabric has no stretch and we think it will work on sizes UK 10-12 or US 6-8.

1960s Jean Muir Silk Liberty Floral Print Dress with Scarf
By Jean Muir
Located in London, GB
This is a fine Jean Muir 1960s dress and matching tassel scarf and is without question, the best ensemble from this designer we have ever had in our collection. Early in her career, Muir worked with Liberty fabric and this striking psychedelic silk print could certainly be a Liberty design. It features a riot of bright purple, blue, orange, pink and green tones in a stylised paisley print. Each of the designs, contained in long rows of bands, is slightly different. The dress is a high shirtwaister design with an empire line bust, a low scoop neck and it fastens at the front with 18 fabric buttons and loops. There is a little upturned ruffle on the waistband and the skirt is gently gathered. The sleeves have a gathered cuff and upturned ruffle that echoes the waistline. The dress bodice is not lined; however, the skirt is lined in a quality pink viscose. Labelled a UK size 12, this is small in today's sizing and probably a better fit for a UK 8-10 or US 4-6.
The accompanying scarf is a double thickness triangular shape with a row of hand tied purple tassels down one side. It is doubled sided with one print matching the dress while the other side is the same design but in a different colourway, focusing on blues, turquoises and orange. It's an absolutely beautiful piece worn alone or could could be styled either side to compliment or contrast the dress colourway. A very rare set indeed to find in superb vintage condition and from the very earliest part of Jean Muir's career. One for the serious collector, wearer of fine boho...

Fitted around the bust, with a flattering empire line tie fastening and three covered buttons at the back in the same fabric. It would make a fantastic choice for a wedding or summer party and is in truly superb vintage condition with no issues. Best for a size extra small to small - our model is a size UK 6-8 or US 2-4 and this has room in the bust.
Ossie Clark was a highly influential British fashion designer in the 1960s -1970s. In 1965 he graduated from the Royal College of Art with a first class degree and immediately began selling his work in exclusive London boutiques including Alice Pollock’s Quorum. Here he created a collection with textile designer Celia Birtwell which was one of the most famous collaborations in fashion history. Quorum was bought by Radley in the late 1960s which led to the ‘Ossie Clark for Radley’ label. Today, his distinctive dresses are highly sought after and admired by celebrities such as Kate Moss, Emma Watson...
