1950s Plus Size Iridescent Brocade Sheath Dress – Vintage Size 22 Work & Evening

Step into timeless glamour with this authentic 1950s iridescent brocade sheath dress. Woven with blue and violet metallic threads in a textured floral motif, this vintage dress catches the light beautifully—perfect for a special occasion, cocktail event, or vintage-inspired work look. Designed with a nipped waist and matching fabric belt, the silhouette flatters curves while the structured shape and rear kick pleat add mid-century polish. The dress features short sleeves, a bateau neckline, and a side metal zipper. There is some fraying at the underarms and seam stress along the back (see photos), along with potential discoloration around the neckline that may be from makeup. Priced accordingly and sold as-is, this piece still wears beautifully and has plenty of life left.
