Bobby & Dandy, based in Hove, is a treasure trove of true vintage, with a particular emphasis on mid- century garments. Since opening in 2012, the shop has been featured by Time Out, Condé Nast Traveller, Vintage Life Magazine, Best of England, The Chap, The Sunday Telegraph & on Channel 4 & the BBC. 

We aim to stock unique, high quality pieces, paying particular attention to style, cut, print & condition. Each item is hand- picked, not sourced from warehouses or bought in bulk like many other vintage shops.

We love interesting menswear & womenswear pieces and stock an eclectic collection, as well as classics which can be worn by the vintage enthusiast or incorporated into the style of the modern dresser. 

We also sell many items here in our eBay shop. New items are added most days.

True Vintage 1950s Dress

Original vintage dress, handmade at the time, fashioned in striped cotton material featuring charming ruffle trim at front bodice and to skirt.

Fastens with metal side Opti zip.

Fitted bodice with lovely wide waist ties to back.

From its design, I would estimate to be of US origin, it would look particularly great for film, tv or theatre.

This dress is in very good condition.

Measurements

P- p 18.5”

Waist (measured flat) 14”

Top Shoulder to Waist 15”

Waist to Hem 24” (with nearly 1” hem allowance)
