Utterly fabulous unlabeled Betty Carol for Mam'selle 1959/1960 taffeta and wool dress. Sculptural and seamlessly of-it's-time yet light years ahead. This dress was featured in the September 1960 issue of Vogue, and the scan is included below.
Expert construction. The bodice is made from a smooth wool with a wide V front and back with straps that sit wide on the shoulders. Princess seaming for a fitted silhouette throughout the bodice to the drop waist.
The wool skirt has a pencil silhouette with a series of 17 inset taffeta petals about 4" below the waist. Despite the voluminous skirt, the dress still has a svelte look and fit. The taffeta is thick and luxurious with tulle within the puffs.
One small cigarette hole in the taffeta located at the inner edge of a petal near where the wool meets the taffeta. You need to look for it to see it. Otherwise excellent condition.
Best fits an Extra Small or US 0.
Chest: 34"
Waist: 24"
Hips: 34"
Length: 39"
