1960s Claire Layton Yellow and White Floral Dress

This pretty dress was designed by Claire Layton in London during the 1960s. It is tailored from manmade white medium weight chiffon woven with sheer flowers in yellow and white. These florals really pop against the white satin lining. Cut to a sleeveless shift-dress style with an elegant peplum waist and floaty knee-length skirt. This dress is fastened with a hidden tonal zip at the rear and a hook-and-eye clasp secures the top at the back of the neck. The original care label reads “This garment may be dry cleaned or hand washed”.

Presented in excellent vintage condition, this dress has no flaws of any note. The size label states UK 36, continental size 38, but sizes vary hugely between vintage brands so please check our measurements below which suggest a good fit up to a UK size 8-10 or US 4-6. Our model is a UK 6-8 and this had a room to spare.
