Vintage R&K Originals Blue Silk Cocktail Dress

Absolutely gorgeous and nearly pristine vintage dress. R & K Originals was a clothing company which made fashionable and well-made, but affordable women’s clothing. The firm was established in 1932 by Henry Kalman and David Rosenthal as the Rosenthal & Kalman Dress Corp, changing the name to R & K Originals in 1946. From the beginning, the designer at R & K was Pauline Fracchia, who remained with the company at least through 1960. In 1963 R & K Originals was bought by Jonathan Logan, Inc. It appears to be silk taffeta in a showstopping blue. Very good vintage condition. There is one snag in the fabric on the bag to the left of the zipper (pictured in images). Flat measurements: Bust 15 in Waist 12 in Hips are very free Length 44 in from shoulder to hem
