1950s Vintage Viyella “House of Lords” Wine Red Paisley Wool Dress with Pockets - Lg

$109.00

This lovely paisley patterned dress would be a great autumn and winter wardrobe staple. The wine red color really pops with the black and cream pattern. It features long sleeves and two pockets! The neck can be worn open or with the little frog closure hooked together. Label is for Viyella by “House of Lords”. It is a pull over piece as the dress zips up the side with a metal Talon zipper. Feels like a lighter weight woven wool. Would likely best fit a modern Large, but please see measurements. I do think that the style is meant to have a more bloused look to the bodice. Dress form is a modern Medium for reference.

Measurements :

  • Bust: 41 inches, 42 pulled taught

  • Waist : 29 inches

  • Hips: 42 inches

  • Length: 45.5 inches from back of neck, down

  • Sleeve Length: 19.5 inches from top of shoulder, down

Good Vintage Condition- Some overall wear to the piece including some overall slight color fade to the dress, like what one would expect to something thats just been washed a few times. A few loose threads and small pulls found here and there. Some wear to the inner seam allotments. Some small marks and areas of faint discoloration found. Belt loop, but no belt. I would say the biggest issue, which isn’t noticeable from the outside, is the inner lining panel in the bodice is partially ripped. You could just cut it out, but I left it in case you would like to reconstruct it.

All measurements are approximate as they are taken flat - for garments specifically this means where applicable (bust, waist, hips) has been doubled unless stated otherwise. If you are uncertain about fit and/or need more measurements please ask! If it is provided in the listing, models and/or dress form sizes are used as a point of reference only. Please remember that all bodies are different so always defer to the measurements I provide and check them against your own, preferably on a similar style garment.
