Unbelievable vintage 1950s Kerrybrooke of Dallas 7-piece set featuring intricate Venice-themed print on iridescent fabric! This set includes a full quilted circle skirt, wasp waisted cropped cigarette pants, a peplum button down top, a bubble sleep top, and three coordinating belts in different styles and lengths.
The fabric is assumed to be silk but cannot confirm content 100%. It is extremely sleek and has an incredible almost metallic effect that appears to change colors in different light. It sometimes shows as peach, rose gold, light orange, and copper in different light--see the video for demonstration!
You will not likely see another set like this again--very rare and unique! Made by Kerrybrooke of Dallas for Sears and Roebuck. One belt also bears a stamp that says 'Laura of Dallas'. The print is gorgeous featuring Venetian gondoliers on gondolas with passengers, striped canal poles, and arched bridges surrounded with soft waves.
The condition is surprisingly good but there are some imperfections and small issues. The full, heavy backing-lined quilted circle skirt has two small brown stains near the waist, may be removable with gentle cleaning. The bubble sleeve top has the most significant issues as it has significant sun bleaching on the front, back, and side along the zipper. There may be other areas with discoloration but there don't appear to be any tears or holes in the clothing.
The belts are in good condition except for the thin straight belt which has tearing on the fabric on the buckle. All of the glass crystal bead buttons and zippers are well intact and functional.
There is no sizing tag but the pieces are quite small. See flat lay measurements below.
