A superb 1950s couture sheath dress from Worth London, in a striking combination of pale pink satin silk and brown lace. The slip underlay is designed in a luxurious soft rose pink silk with chocolate brown chiffon trim and is accessed from the rear with a central fastening zip. The lace overlay has a simple rounded neckline and capped sleeves, also with an original metal zip closure running down the back. The lace is made up of a delicate floral pattern in the same shade of brown as the trim on the underskirt.

This dress, although unlabelled, can confidently be attributed to the house of Worth whose London operations were run from an atelier on Grosvenor Street from 1911. We purchased a large collection of couture dresses bearing both Paquin and Worth labels from descendants of the family who ran the House from 1952 - 1956.

A beautifully understated occasion wear dress and versatile enough to be worn either night or day. In impeccable vintage condition, with no stains or flaws to note. The pink satin slip has been professionally let out at some point but only seen by a trained eye! It would best fit up to a 8-10 UK, or 4- 6 US.
