Vintage Mid-Century Henry Lee Lace Pencil Dress

This exquisite Henry Lee pencil dress captures the refined femininity of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Crafted in delicate periwinkle cotton lace layered over soft lavender taffeta, it offers a beautiful interplay of color and texture that feels both romantic and sophisticated.

The figure-skimming silhouette is enhanced by expertly placed bust darts and tailored seaming, creating a flattering shape while maintaining the understated grace characteristic of the era. A modest scoop neckline in front is complemented by a subtle V-back, adding just the right touch of vintage charm. The back kick pleat allows for comfortable movement, while the original matching-color metal Conmatic zipper provides an authentic period finish.

Perfect for garden parties, weddings, vintage events, or collectors of fine mid-century fashion, this dress is a lovely example of classic Henry Lee design.
