Sumptuous cocktail dress by Marldena Gowns in coffee and gold brocade which shimmers as it catches the light.

Description

Sumptuous cocktail dress by Marldena Gowns dating from the late 50s or early 60s in coffee and gold brocade which shimmers as it catches the light. The dress has a cute boat neckline and tiny cap sleeves and features an attractive layer over the basic sheath shape which graduates from the back left hem across the back and round the right side of the dress to form a rosette swirl on the left hip. Fully lined in mocha satin with a side zip fastening. The dress is in very good vintage condition apart from a few loose threads here and there and minor repairs to the lining. It may benefit from a dry clean to freshen up as it has been in long term storage. DESIGNER: Marldena Gowns COLOUR: coffee and gold FABRIC: brocade CARE: dry clean CONDITION: very good vintage, but see description SIZE: UK12 MEASUREMENTS: underarm-underarm – 19”, waist – 31”, length (nape to hem) – 42”

Sizing

Customers are asked to bear in mind that vintage garment sizes bear little or no resemblance to contemporary sizes. Furthermore, current high street size labels are inconsistent, with M&S and Wallis being noted for their generous proportions while others come up on the small side.

Please always refer to the measurements provided in the item description rather than the garment label size, and note that any ‘best fit’ suggestion we make will be based on modern day sizing. By way of example, our own suggested standard size 12 dress has an underarm to underarm measurement of approximately 19" with a waist size of 30".

In order to best gauge the suitability of an item, you may find it useful to compare our stated measurements with those of one of your own garments which is a comfortable fit. Our garment measurements are taken with the item laid flat, and all sizes in our descriptions are approximate.
