1960s Sambo Fashions Yellow and Pink Floral Sundress

Late 1950s or early 1960s sundress design from Sambo Fashions which was a quality British brand operating throughout the 40s to 60s. I really love the print on this dress; a pretty rose pattern band interspersed by what appears to be a tromp l'oeil design for a leather embossed strap. Very alpine looking. The bodice is squared off and darted to perfection with a pipe seamed waist and a gently gathered skirt that falls to around the mid-calf. The dress fastens to the rear with the original zip. The bodice is double lined with the same dress fabric while the skirt element uses honeycomb tulle to support the structure of the balloon shape skirt.

In absolutely beautiful vintage condition with no issues of any note. This dress is extra small and best suited for a UK size 6 or below. The colours of the dress are chartreuse, tan, pink and forest green. Our model is a UK 6-8 and 5ft 4in. (163cm) and this dress was a good fit on her, the straps were slightly loose on her but they could be altered.
