Description

* Stunning 1950s firebox red silk satin commercially made dress

* Classic New Look silhouette with a cinched waist and full skirt

* Dress is sleeveless with an inset oval notched neckline panel which widens at the back to form a collar.

* Faux opening down the front of the dress with decorative self-fabric buttons

* Self-fabric bow just below the notched collar and princess seaming either side

* Skirt is very full with wonderful drape

* Low v-shaped back with collar 

* In-seam pocket on right-hand side of the dress

* Back metal zipper, pinked seams, turnover hem (unstitched)

* Label reads Jonny Herbert Originals

The Jonny Herbert label produced sophisticated, junior-sized quality day, cocktail and evening dresses. The company was registered by John Buffa and Herbert Aptel in 1950 as a division on Sealove-Becker, Inc. By 1954 the company had expanded into the Midwest with a sales office in Chicago. Aptel later left the company but Buffa managed it until his death in 1973. I have not been able to track more detailed history of the company, although I must add that over the years I have owned a number of dresses from this label, and seen many more, and all are high quality, beautifully made and designed.

 

Condition 

Excellent. 

No notable flaws that I can see -  a sliver of thread can be seen on a couple of seams and stitching on hem a tad untidy but not visible at all from the front.

Please note that these are vintage items that have been used and loved over the years, As such, they may display slight evidence of their age. Any notable flaws above and beyond this will be highlighted here.

 

Comment 

Simply gorgeous dress with some fabulous design details that really make it stand apart from the rest. One of the best Jonny Herbert dresses I have had the pleasure of owning. Please drop us a line if you require additional information about this listing.

Unbelievable Value: Durable and Adorable! My Pup Loved Then Instantly!
Color: Multicolour20
My brand new pup LOVED THESE INSTANTLY! I He’s 10 months old and still in that “gotta chew on everything “ stage: those puppy baby teeth can really get itchy. I love that these toys nontoxic but they are definitely tough. When I opened the box I wasn’t overwhelmed with the small of chemicals. It’s a similar, clean feeling quality as something I would have purchased for my son back in the day. The variety of shapes and sizes is perfect. All the little nubs on the silicones are also in various sizes from larger to fine and really help him get those tough hard to reach slots. I would definitely give them an A+ on appeal and durability. My GSD played with one for 30’ minutes and it was still in tact. He can rip pretty much anything to shreds in under 5 minutes…I’d call this purchase a win-win. Can’t beat the value for the money. Material is quality. They’re cute and adorable. Can’t beat it!

Toys For Puppies
Color: Multicolour20
This package is suited for puppies and it is priced right. 20 toys for 20 dollars and my little guy loves them. No outlet pet store will sell you this amount for the price. Great buy.

Recommend
Color: Multicolour20
My puppy loves to pull the toys out of this box and he especially loves the rope he likes to chew on it and I just really like that there are different kinds of toys for him so he doesn't get bored. The rope only lasted a couple of months. He chewed the heck out of it.
