1016 front

Spades American Designer 1016; ca. 1950s; Claire McCardell - Misses' Dress and Bolero. Claire McCardell’s Summer Charmer. Vacation time is around the corner and Claire McCardell has designed just the right dress for you. Her “summer charmer” flatters your sun-tanned shoulders and takes you right thru cocktails or that delicious lobster dinner on the wharves. For after dark you throw the little jacket over your shoulders – it can be knotted in front just like a Riviera shirt or draped in almost any fashion to please your changing moods. Originally designed for cotton broadcloth, it will also look weel in pique, chambray, percale or a silk print.

Party dress and matching bolero. Ruched bodice is attached to a full skirt. Bolero has kimono sleeves and wraps in a cross pattern at front bodice.
