Are you surprised? Yes, this dress from 1956 is by Lilli Ann! The company did offer a few dresses in their line, but they were best known, of course, for their fabulous suits. This dress was made from a Lilli Ann exclusive fabric, as all their suits were. Striped fabric was hand blocked with a print inspired by the Siege of Troy. The print is accented with hand-cut Austrian crystal rhinestones. The dress came in black and white or turquoise and white. Sold for $40 in 1956 (about $337 in today's dollar.) Do you love it?
And congrats to Vintage Suburbia who was the only person to guess correctly!

Like it? Love it! It's fabulous.
Yay, I was right! I have to say I was helped by the fact that Lilli Ann ads always seem to have the same look/poses. And I am a bit of a Lilli Ann collector so I had an unfair advantage. I have to say I LOVE this dress. But I do have to laugh at that tiny waist. You couldn't do a day's work in that! Thanks so much for your great posts. I look forward to reading them very much, Maria
