This is a lovely vintage 1950s dress made under the Jeane Scott Original label.  This vintage 1950s dress has a jewel neckline, short sleeves and a full cut skirt with box pleats. It was posed with a crinoline underneath - no crinoline is provided, so to get the same 50s full skirt look you would need to own or acquire a crinoline, although the dress is usable without one.  The dress does up the back with a metal zipper.  There are loops for a belt, but none is provided.  The fabric features a wonderful printed abstract pattern in moss green with touches of emerald green, blue and dropped out white against a black background.

Age: late 1950s

Fabric:  Unmarked as to fabric, but this vintage 1950s dress is almost certainly silk

Label: Jeane Scott Original.

Retailer label:  Judith Clark Inc Montreal.  Judith Clark owned a high-end ladies’ dress boutique located in downtown Montreal.  As an aside, Judith Clark was married to Morris “Two Gun” Cohen, a colourful character who, despite being caucasian, became a general in the Chinese military during the 1930s, the only non-Chinese to ever hold that rank.
