ARCHIVE: 1950s California Cottons Pink Floral Rose Print Cotton Dress with Bolero Jacket

£0.00 Sold out
This is the best rose print dress ensemble we've had in for some time and it is by British heritage brand California Cottons whose quality production values and desirable prints easily rivalled Horrockses fashions. The rose print is spectacular; in really exceptional pink tones and a vibrant green against a white background. The cotton still retains a very crisp and fresh appearance. This dress is fully lined in a thick muslin which provides some volume and shaping to the dress. The dress has the classic princess cut seams of the era and a delightful pink velvet banding around the bust line which is complimented by the central bow and nice square cut neckline. The dress possesses its original metal zip which is centre fastening, to the rear. This piece is in its original unaltered length too so there's plenty of options if you wish to shorten it. As an added bonus, the matching pink bolero jacket comes with the dress and is a wonderful bright vibrant shade of cerise pink. The rose print fabric is used to line the bodice element of the jacket which boasts a high neck collar that is not creased. The dress is wonderfully shaped with dolman sleeves. Condition wise this piece is extraordinary for a dress that is approaching 70 years old. There are no faults of any note. This dress will fit up to a UK10 or US 6.

F.A.Q.

Will you set anything aside for me before I come?

We are happy to find anything you may be interested in from our website - please let us know a week in advance. 

We also have an extensive offline collection. If you let us know your size, style, favourite colour to wear and perhaps your budget, we can browse through our archive in advance of your appointment. 
Do I need to bring anything with me?

Clients may wish to bring modern shapewear when trying on garments from certain eras, especially the 1950s. Vintage clothing was often worn with undergarments that shaped the waist and as such is tailored for them.


We have a huge variety of slip dresses and petticoats to complete your look; many of which are also for sale.


You may also wish to bring your favourite footwear. We often find a classic pair of nude shoes work well when trying on, or a pair in gold or silver.
Do you have a price range?

Many of our lower-priced pieces (under £150) are not available to buy online. Our prices range from £80 - £600 for separates. Dresses start at around £150 and go up to £2,500 for the very best antique pieces and designer vintage. Our bridalwear ranges from £300 - £3,000.
