Perette Silk New Look Dress XS

$165.00

Absolutely gorgeous structured silk dress in the iconic 1950s New Look silhouette. Tailored with expert craftsmanship, sporting a nipped-in waist that cascades into a very full skirt backed with interfacing to keep its structure, and topped off with heavily embellished (and huge) patch pockets. Fine details throughout, including the soft notched collar, gusset construction at the underarms and fabric covered buttonsdown the length. This piece is definitely worth the shapewear struggle underneath! From label Perette, circa 1950s. Note - the label is not the typical Suzy Perette label but is the same logo.

• Size XS (24"w, see measurements)
• Feels like silk, thick crisp weave with structure and slight luster
• Unlined, crisp interfacing behind the fabric at the waist/skirt
• Buttons down the front
• Great condition, mostly perfect except for a hint of wear to the fabric at the sleeves/underarms (not discoloared, just slight pilling and minor wear)

• Style No. D4278
