This early to mid 1960s dress is by collectable British designer Susan Small whose head designer, Maureen Baker, designed Princess Anne's wedding dress for her marriage to Captain Mark Phillips. The dress is tailored from an intricately detailed fabric woven with lilac and white stripes and further detailed with the pattern of lace. It has a corseted top which is boned the whole way around and demonstrates the incredible workmanship of this British label. The bustier top is accordion pleated to stunning effect, fanning out above the bust. The sides are detailed with purple velvet ribbon, edged with grosgrain, which continues around and meets at the back with a large floppy bow. The top is held up by spaghetti straps in the same lilac gingham fabric. The waist is cinched and gives way to a full skirt that is knife pleated where it meets the waistband. The skirt is lined with white linen, as is the front of the bustier top. The dress fastens at the back with a hidden white zip and hook-and-eye clasp. The original label reads “Susan Small - Model”. It also has a Peter Robinson...

This wool and black piped 1960s dress is by the New York designer Geoffrey Beene; celebrated for his craftsmanship, attention to detail and relaxed wearable designs. This timeless piece has striking black piped bands to accentuate the wide waistband, high neckline, arm cinches and hemline of this dress to give an almost pinafore style appearance; the overall look is very chic and modern. The stiffened hem finishes below the knee and the fabric is a fine quality felted wool in a mottled mid-grey tone. The dress is unlined with two concealed side pockets. There are two black ornamental buttons on the waistband. The dress has a slightly stiffened high neck collar which fastens with hook and eyes and a long central zip at the reverse. Of exceptional quality and in superb vintage condition with no faults of any note. The craftsmanship of this dress is couture standard with the 1960s Beene...

This is a fine Jean Muir 1960s dress and matching tassel scarf and is without question, the best ensemble from this designer we have ever had in our collection. Early in her career, Muir worked with Liberty fabric and this striking psychedelic silk print could certainly be a Liberty design. It features a riot of bright purple, blue, orange, pink and green tones in a stylised paisley print. Each of the designs, contained in long rows of bands, is slightly different. The dress is a high shirtwaister design with an empire line bust, a low scoop neck and it fastens at the front with 18 fabric buttons and loops. There is a little upturned ruffle on the waistband and the skirt is gently gathered. The sleeves have a gathered cuff and upturned ruffle that echoes the waistline. The dress bodice is not lined; however, the skirt is lined in a quality pink viscose. Labelled a UK size 12, this is small in today's sizing and probably a better fit for a UK 8-10 or US 4-6. The accompanying scarf is a double thickness triangular shape with a row of hand tied purple tassels down one side. It is double-sided with one print matching the dress while the other side is the same design but in a different colourway, focusing on blues, turquoises and orange. It's an absolutely beautiful piece worn alone or could be styled either side to complement or contrast the dress colourway. A very rare set indeed to find in superb vintage condition and from the very earliest part of Jean Muir's career. One for the serious collector, wearer of fine boho...
