Sorry, this item has sold.

Stunning Vintage 1950s Peggy French Cocktail Dress and Swing Back Coat in Francine (silk mix) for a Lady, sized UK 16. The garments are in the most gorgeous condition and have been freshly dry cleaned ready to wear. The dress is fabulously embellished with silk loop embroidery, at the yoke of the neckline, the coat has a very fashionable stand up closed collar with extensive embroidery, whilst the back is beautifully draped, with bracelet sleeves.

These gorgeous suits look stunning when worn with either today's or vintage accessories, perfect ensemble for when the days or evenings are a little colder.
