1950s Lane Bryant Blue and Green Floral Silk Dress
About the Item
This charming 1950’s floral printed silk dress is by America designer Lane Bryant, who was extolled as one of the pioneers of ready to wear plus size clothing and the first to mass produce maternity wear in the US. This lovely dress is of the softest silk fabric in pretty green, blue and purple tones and is beautifully cut to showcase an hourglass figure to its optimum. It features cute cap sleeves, a scoop neck with an oversized ruffle collar both front and reverse, a tidy waistline with a piped seam and bow detail at the centre front. The mid calf length skirt is gathered into small tuck pleats below the waistband on each hip and designed to fall straight, with a large box pleat at the front. It is lined throughout in black silk and fastens at the centre reverse with a zip. Of beautiful quality and in excellent vintage condition, would fit around a US size 12, UK size 16.

View All1970s Documented Jean Varon Black Spider Cobweb Dress
By Jean Varon
Located in London, GB
Fine and rare Jean Varon spider cobweb dress which can be dated to the designer's 1973 collection and featured here in the September issue of British Vogue. Fashioned in a sleek black jersey with a slight sheen, it has faceted-domed glass buttons down the front and around the wide cuff billow sleeves. It has a half-length front hidden zip for ease of access. The embroidered tulle panel on the back with applications of beads and sequins forming spiders crawling around cobwebs and has made this dress the most prized of all John Bate's designs. They rarely come up for sale; this has been in Circa's collection nearly 20 years and is notably held in several fashion museums worldwide.
In fabulous vintage condition with absolutely no issues and is worthy of museum acquisition. The only thing if we're being very, very picky is that there are two tiny pin holes on the back near the right-hand seam; absolutely impossible to see when worn and only noticed when the dress was held to the light. It is best for a size UK 8 or US 4 and smaller on account of the small waist.
Notes on Designer: John Bates was a highly regarded British designer who began his label Jean Varon in 1959. Famous for sheer panels, short hemlines and bare midriffs, he was one of the pioneers of the miniskirt and trousers for women...

1980s Charles Jourdan Black Cold Shoulder Dress
By Charles Jourdan
Located in London, GB
I love the simplicity of form of this early 1980s Charles Jourdan black cocktail dress. It has a wide boatneck and fantastic cold shoulder sleeve so that the top of the arm is exposed. The sleeve itself is batwing and very tapered, finishing in a neat, buttoned cuff. The pattern on the fabric reminds me of the lines created by waves hitting a sandy beach. Its such an interesting jacquard silk feel material with the way that the weft and warp has been woven creating both matte and satin finishes to bring out a two-dimensional look. The dress it has a thigh high split...
