This vintage Traina-Norell coral red silk chiffon dress dates from the early 1960s. It is made of a coral red silk chiffon fabric, with a full pleated skirt. This exquisitely tailored designer sleeveless a-line summer dress has a bow tie neckline, with fabric covered buttons down the front for closure, and a matching fabric covered belt. It is fully lined, and comes with a separate matching fabric skirt slip for underneath. There is a "Traina-Norell Woolf Brothers Kansas City" label sewn inside. Norman Norell was a major American designer who partnered with Anthony Traina in 1941 to form the firm Traina-Norell. Norell was known for his precision tailoring, and for using the finest imported fabrics, and thought it better to have one really good but threadbare dress than a wardrobe of cheap clothes. The dress measures 43 inches long, with a 24 inch waist, and 36 inch bust. This is truly a quality made dress created with the finest construction and style. It is in excellent clean wearable condition, with only some slight wear and fraying to the belt buckle fabric.
