Stunning original 1950s Made in Italy dress by Almor, cut in a wonderfully soft and warm lightweight jersey cotton, woven with delicate horizontal gold Lurex stripes.
The tailored shirt-style bodice features a neat collar, three-quarter sleeves with buttoned cuffs and a beautifully fitted waist, opening into a dramatically full pleated skirt. Finished with unusual thread-covered buttons, its original metal side zipper and a contrasting dusty-rose lining inside the skirt.
A wonderfully elegant piece of 1950s Italian fashion — understated chocolate brown transformed by the subtle shimmer of gold.
