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

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

Unworn with all original tags attached

It feels very fresh and of the current season with a pretty floral suggestive print worked into the silk itself along with a secondary pattern that is woven through the actual silk so you get a terrific texture as the light hits it

A pretty keyhole sits at the beck and the sleeves are magnificent

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
