An exceptional 1940s archival set by "Styled by Saybury" in a rare, vibrant magenta. This collector-grade piece features a classic wartime silhouette with structured shoulders and unique "peek-a-boo" inverted pleats in contrasting light purple and yellow. The dress is closed from chest to 10 inches above the hem with decorative carved lucite buttons and snaps, and a metal zipper that works well. Rarely found with its original matching slip, this ensemble is a high-end example of mid-century novelty design.
Condition Note: Good vintage condition. Shows minor, superficial age-related staining consistent with 80-year-old silk/rayon; no holes, tears, or dark "heavy" spots. Hem is beginning to come undone in a few placesA stunning, complete set for the serious 1940s collector.
