Vintage 1940's - 1950's Carol King Fashions Wool Plaid Dress

Your fall wardrobe isn’t complete without this exquisite vintage 1940s–1950s Carol King Fashions plaid wool day dress. Rendered in a soft, sophisticated palette of gray, cream, and lemon yellow, it’s an effortless companion to vibrant, fall-inspired cardigans and classic accessories.

This timeless silhouette features a pleated A-line skirt that moves beautifully, subtle shoulder pads for gentle structure, a side zipper for ease, and a refined darted collar that adds just the right touch of tailored charm. The dress is unlined, so pairing it with a slip is recommended for added comfort.

Condition notes: A few age-appropriate blemishes are present, including slight yellowing at the underarm area and two small brown dots on the front skirt panel. The garment has been laundered, and stain remover was applied to the brown spots without change; these may be inherent color variations within the wool rather than surface stains.

A lovely, authentic piece of mid-century fashion—perfect for collectors or anyone who appreciates vintage style with honest character.
