Dress designed by Ann Lowe, 1958. Creator: Ann Lowe
A cream silk faille dress with embroidered floral applique decorations designed by Ann Lowe. The dress has a bodice with cap sleeves, a scoop neck front, and a deep scoop neck back. Shaping of the bodice and waist is created with princess seams, but there is no waistline seam. The skirt is shaped round and very full, with some additional fullness at the hips. The dress is decorated throughout with machine-embroidered cream and pink flowers with green leaves. The embroidery is stitched to the dress at the neckline, the center back seam to the back waist of the bodice, and in six large sprays to the skirt at the front left, proper left, back left, back right, proper right, and front right. Two lengths of cream silk faille are pleated and attached at back waist to create streamers that reach to the hemline of the skirt. The streamers are decorated with small machine embroidered pink flowers that are basted by hand to the fabric. The dress closes with a zipper running from the top of the center back bodice to center back below the waist

This stunning print showcases a dress designed by the talented Ann Lowe in 1958. Crafted from luxurious cream silk faille, this exquisite piece is adorned with meticulously embroidered floral applique decorations. The bodice features elegant cap sleeves and a scoop neck front, while the back boasts a deep scoop neck design. The princess seams beautifully shape the waist and bodice without the need for a waistline seam. The skirt of this dress is shaped round and incredibly full, with additional volume at the hips for added drama. Throughout the garment, machine-embroidered cream and pink flowers with delicate green leaves create an enchanting visual display. These intricate embroideries can be found at various locations such as the neckline, center back seam to back waist, and six large sprays on different parts of the skirt. To add even more charm to this already breathtaking creation, two lengths of pleated cream silk faille are attached at the back waist to form streamers that gracefully cascade down to reach the hemline of the skirt. These streamers are further embellished with small hand-basted machine embroidered pink flowers. Closing with a discreet zipper running from top to bottom at its center back, this dress exemplifies Ann Lowe's exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. A true masterpiece that seamlessly combines elegance and artistry in every stitch.
