Description
True to the Daymor Couture ads, this is an exquisite vintage dress with hand painted flowers, sheer sleeves, flared organza skirt, and an accented waist – all with a big bow tied at the front. The sleeves have wide cuffs with a row of five covered buttons on each sleeve. It has a plastic zipper at the back and two hook closures at the neckline. It cinches at the waist with a matching fabric covered belt. The dress is shown with a light crinoline underneath. The size on the label indicates it is a size 11, equivalent to a 40-42 in Europe. It measures bust 34″ waist 26″ hips full. Sleeve length 25 1/2″. Length from centre back is 42″. The length of the skirt from the waist is 28″. It was made in Montreal, Canada. Dry clean only. The condition is excellent.
Daymor Couture Inc. is a dress designer with claims to be an industry leader in “exquisite evening wear and special occasion suits”. They have been in business since the early fifties, with surprisingly few vintage dresses of that era to be found today. This dress has a Canadian Union label which places the date it was made between 1968 and 1984. It was originally purchased in the seventies.
