Wool Tweed Day Dress
1959-60
Vicky Vaughan
The feminine silhouette of the 1950's with softly rounded sloped shoulders and a distinct waistline at the natural waist is epitomized in this simple, stylish wool dress. This is another silhouette that softly repeats the feminine form without clinging to the body. Unlike the suit from the same era the shape of this dress is created from sewn shapes alone; it is not tailored or padded. The kimono sleeves, bodice darts from the side and the waist, and the soft tucks in the skirt give shape to this classic garment.
