1950s Greta Plattry Hand Screen Printed Plaid Blouse
 
NEW LISTING  We have a Greta Plattry hand screen printed blouse from the 1950s. The uneven plaid in rust, periwinkle and ivory is striking and she didn’t stint on the details, either. The bishop sleeves finish with tie cuffs, there are waist darts front and back, and the convertible “kerchief” collar can be buttoned high or low.  The use of the bias plaid to define the cuffs and collar is smart, too. Plattry was a respected American sportswear designer of the 40s and 50s who also designer a line for Teal Traina in the 1970s.

Label: Greta Plattry Original Hand Screened Print Dry Clean  

Size: Bust: 40",Waist: 31“, Shoulders: 16”, Sleeves: 25”, CB Neck to Hem: 20“

1960s Wonderful Red Border Print Blouse from Dorothy McNab   

NEW LISTING  This well made 1960s cotton blouse is in red, brown and metallic gold Indian, or Indian inspired print. The border is used down the front, on the collar and at the sleeve hems. Then it is beautifully mitered at the front corners to become the hem. McNab ran her boutique in Montego Bay, where she sold resort wear using ethnic fabrics and inspired clothing - and it wasn’t inexpensive.  The Miami News of  4/7/1963 refers to her as the “one of Jamaica’s most famous designers whose styles are worn all over the world”. She both printed fabrics amd designed and made clothing.

1960s Black Appliquéd Card Themed Wool Felt Skirt 

Wow - this is one fine skirt. The theme? Party Time at the Casino! The appliqué is done with swirls of sequins in blue, rust and silver, with a rainbow of studded rhinestones scattered throughout. Then there’s a glass of champagne, 3 Aces, a cigarette in a sequin holder, and white wisps of smoke  The back closes with a metal zipper - not original. The waist is finished with a simple bias band to the inside. I think this was home sewn, but the appliqué appears to be manufactured.

Label: none

Size:  Waist: 26.5“, Hips: 38“,  Waist to Hem: 39”. Hem Sweep: 90” 

Condition: Excellent but for one discreet end at the waist. No spots, stains or holes
