1950’s Horrockses Green and Black Cotton Dress

A wonderful example of Horrockses designs of the 1950’s. This dress is a sea green cotton with a black floral design and a slight sheen to the fabric, the colours are vibrant and in great condition. The buttons are in black and could be moved to make the waist larger if required. The measurements are taken as the dress is and they are as follows –

Chest 38 inches  (97 cms) the style of the bust is pleated and therefore has room to expand.
Waist 26 inches (67 cms) as stated this could be made larger and probably was larger originally.

Nape to Waist 17 inches (44 cms)
Nape to Hem 46 inches (117 cms)

1950s Dress Carnegie Green and White Polka Dot 34 inch chest

Wow what a find!

 

This original amazing cotton dress is made by Carnegie in wonderful condition.  The dress has self covered buttons all down the front, six in fact on a white placket, with two patch pockets trimmed in white cotton also featuring a self made button on each.  The dress has a long original metal zip at the back and loops for your own belt.  There is a muslin lining from the waist in white and my mannequin is wearing a very full tulle petticoat in vanilla underneath which can be purchased separately, although the dress is beautiful without the fullness of the petticoat.
