Provenance Note
House dresses were everyday essentials of the 1940s–50s, often made from plissé nylon, a textured fabric beloved for being lightweight, wrinkle-free, and easy to wash. This example elevates the humble house dress with lucite rhinestone buttons and whimsical printed motifs, making it a rare survivor of midcentury casual fashion. Today, such dresses are prized for their nostalgic charm, practicality, and collectible novelty prints.
