A vintage-inspired wiggle dress by Lindy Bop — the Emma Carnation — epitomising mid-century sophistication. Blending the refined tailoring of the late 1950s with the daring aesthetic of early 1960s fashion, it showcases a striking floral composition in raspberry-red and burgundy blooms against periwinkle and navy grounds.
The bodice features subtle pleating and strategic tucks that create a softly sculpted silhouette, whilst short sleeves reveal pink satin underlining — a hallmark of couture detailing. A generously curved waistband provides both visual definition and structural support, anchoring the dress's elegant proportions.
A coveted example of post-war fashion design for collectors and enthusiasts of period dress.
How to Style?The wiggle silhouette calls for heels, pointed-toe court shoes or kitten heels in navy, red or nude. Hair in a neat victory roll or softly pinned up. The raspberry and periwinkle palette is rich enough to carry the look alone, pearl earrings or a simple red lip, not both.
