About the Item
Rendered in the most mesmerising shantung silk brocade, in shades of iridescent green and aqua blue, this original 1950's floral brocade dress and coat ensemble, is just the set to add to your vintage collection.
The rounded neckline of the dress, is accented by medium width shoulder straps and a sleeveless cut. The fitted bodice, boasts tailored dart beneath the bust-line, which accent the bust, whilst drawing the eye to the fitted design. The cinched in waistline, is decorated with a central matching silk brocade bow, which is framed along either side of the skirt-line by double dart features, setting off the gently flared silhouette of the dress.
The matching coat, boasts a wide turned down collar, that side along the extremities of the shoulder line and draws together along the front of the neckline beneath a matching silk brocade bow, that matches the one positioned along the waistline of the dress. The simple shoulder line of the coat, sets off the mid length inset sleeves. The elegant A line cut of the coat, drapes along the silhouette, sitting perfectly above the dress, completing this wonderful set in an iconic 1950's silhouette.
