This exquisite vintage set from Hattie Carnegie features a stunning navy blue strapless dress with a peplum jacket. The dress is made of 100% silk and is adorned with iridescent beading that adds a touch of shimmer and glamour. The jacket is the perfect complement to the dress, with a waist-cinching peplum design.


The dress and jacket are both from the 1940s and are original pieces, not reproductions. The dress has a chest size of 30" a waist size of 25" and 36” hips, while the jacket has a chest size of 34" and a waist size of 28". The dress has an under arm-to-hem length of 35.5" and the jacket has a shoulder-to-shoulder width of 17", 19” sleeves (with a 2.5” fold up) and a length of 23.5" from the shoulders to the hem. This set is perfect for a special occasion or a vintage lover's collection.


The dress has some mild fading, mostly around the waist in the front (see photo #1). There are also several small faint spots. Neither the fading nor the spots are very noticeable due to the shimmery fabric of the dress. Otherwise, the dress is in very good condition. The jacket however, has some major issues, mostly on the shoulders. As can be seen in photos #7-8, the silk lining is discolored and shattered on both shoulders. As can be seen in photo #9, the silk on one shoulder is faded and shattered. In photo #10, the other shoulder is also faded, and beginning to shatter. There is also some fading on the sleeves. Otherwise, the rest of the jacket is in very good condition.
