Step straight into mid-century elegance with this jaw-dropping authentic late 1950s/early 1960s party dress by the iconic American fashion label Henley, Jr New York. Perfectly embodying the classic "New Look" silhouette, this dress features an incredible abstract impressionist floral pattern in vibrant shades of blue, turquoise, and black. Highly structured, beautifully tailored bodice that nips in dramatically at the natural waist before flowing into a tightly pleated full swing skirt. Features a flattering, wide square-cut neckline with elegant slight cap sleeves integrated seamlessly into the bodice pattern. Fabulous custom matching tassel at the waist. Original metal zipper in back.
Excellent vintage condition. Structurally sound, vibrant fabric color preservation, and smooth zipper function. Any minor age-related wear is consistent with its vintage pedigree. (Please review all listing photos).
