Vtg 1950\'s Mr Mort Dress Bolero Jacket Set 50\'s Mermaid Nautical Novelty Print For Sale

Up for sale is a beautiful, highly collectible vintage 1950s Mr. Mort tiered cotton day dress and matching bolero jacket set in an incredibly rare mid-century nautical novelty print. Crafted by the prestigious New York Seventh Avenue fashion house founded in 1952 by Mortimer Goldman, the Mr. Mort label became highly celebrated for producing sophisticated, impeccably tailored ready-to-wear pieces using premium textiles, eventually achieving global acclaim when legendary designer Stan Herman joined the company in 1959. This authentic two-piece 1950s set is made of high-quality, heavy-polished cotton and features a striking allover graphic print of maritime motifs including anchors, stars, ship wheels, and a unique illustration of a mermaid styled as a classic ship\'s figural figurehead, all beautifully arranged in an elegant paneled box grid over deep jet black. Designed with an ultra-flattering mid-century silhouette, the outfit features a sleeveless dress with a fitted, button-accented bodice and a gathered natural waistline that opens into a full pleated mid-length skirt with a traditional straight even hem. The spectacular, fully removable cropped bolero jacket features short dolman cap sleeves and a dramatic wide sailor shawl collar that tapers into a stunning V-shaped capelet in the back. Flat-laid garment measurements for the dress show a 32-1/4\" bust, a 25-1/2\" waist, a shoulder strap side-to-side width of 12-1/2\", and a 38\" overall length measured from the top of the shoulder strap to the bottom hem. The shoulder straps have been pinned on discreetly so that the strap length can be easily altered as needed, and there is an additional 3-1/2\" of material inside the bottom hem that can be let out for extra length if desired. The ensemble is in exceptional, highly functional vintage condition with crisp, dark fabric, perfectly intact construction, and brilliant gold and white screen-printed detailing. This investment-grade piece of mid-century fashion history beautifully captures the tailoring and textile brilliance that made Mr. Mort a cornerstone of 1950s American style, making it absolutely perfect for collectors, rockabilly wardrobes, or true vintage enthusiasts.Shipping to run $19.95 in the USA and $65.00 to Europe or Japan.Good luck & God Bless!!!
