1940s Nettie Vogues One Shoulder Black Jersey Dress with Matching Turban designer-teal-traina Slightly more cream then white

Slightly more cream then white in person

It closes at the back with a painted metal & nylon zipper

The sleeves are easily the star of the show on this dress

† It is cut fuller through the back as it would have been made to leave room for a bustle at the back

Trust me when I say it is even better in person

1940s Nettie Vogues One Shoulder Black Jersey Dress with Matching Turban designer-teal-traina Slightly more cream then whiteThis is a gorgeous black jersey dress and matching turban from the London label Nettie Vogues London. While researching the label I did find reference to pieces photoed for Vogue and photos of a young Princess Diana wearing a green dress by the label for her Snowdon engagement portraits. I dated it to the 40s but it could be a little later. The dress has the feel of the 1940s to it and is an unusual piece that is easy to wear and has lots of impact
