100% Rayon GORGEOUS fabric in a pale tomato shade! “Watercolor-y” hand-print in all shades of soft pink-orange and creamy red. The hand-dying makes for such rich colors, and the hand-print looks has a painterly artisanal quality impossible to recreate in mass produced fabrics. Truly an artist’s dress.
Charles Eames made an interior print very much like this, so you’ll be all about high style mid-century modern.
The pattern used for this ONE OF A KIND DRESS is among the most figure-flattering styles of all time and a guaranteed attention-grabber. Fabric is richly substantial (not thin like so many modern fabrics) and has a GORGEOUS drape to it that is rarely seen and has a subtle, rich texture. So glamorous!
Our customers are frequently asked how they managed to find a vintage dress in such perfect condition! That’s how authentic they are. We use sewing techniques and fabrics- even weaving and printing techniques- true to the mid-century period.
SASSY shoulder sash is button-in button-out as is the sweetheart halter strap, so you can wear this dress in three different ways.
Fully-boned bodice is made from 3 layers for structure and shape impossible to find in contemporary dresses. Engineered with a center back zipper.

Often referred to as the “Bombshell Dress”, flattering WIDE V-neck that teeters dangerously on the outermost corner of your shoulders! Adorable, three quarter length sleeves. Draping and lines that are so universally complimentary that this may be the most flattering vintage dress of all time.
Luxurious, Whirling Turban quality, made by hand in a dressmaking shop, not a factory. Find unsolicited customer reviews about our workmanship on Youtube!
Locally hand-woven 100% cotton “sharkskin” made just for us- looks like silk. Black fibers crossed with blue fibers, it has a iridescent effect that’s also slimming since the black fibers create a “shadow” as they go around your body. The fabric looks absolutely vintage since it is made exactly like a mid-century fabric under our auspices and our customers LOVE it.
There is no more figure-flattering shape than this full skirt. Lovely with or without a crinoline petticoat (not included).
This dress comes in this size:
Bust : 41.5″ (you can fudge here a little)
Waist : 33.5″ (you should not fudge here more than + 3/4″)
