Elegant Late 1950's Chinese Silk Brocade Cocktail Dress & Jacket / S
👋 A B O U T
An elegant two-piece ensemble in champagne silk brocade, woven with a lustrous chrysanthemum and floral motif that catches the light beautifully. The sleeveless sheath dress has a fitted bodice, princess seaming, and a slim pencil skirt, closing at back with a hidden zipper. The cropped matching jacket features a mandarin collar, long fitted sleeves, and hand-knotted silk frog buttons at the closure — a lovely custom detail suggesting Chinese or Hong Kong tailoring, likely made for a client rather than produced for a retail label. No maker’s label present, consistent with custom work of the period. In excellent condition, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear.
