1950s Hattie Carnegie Silk Floral Print Watercolor Nipped Waist Dress Charles Jourdan and expedition garbFrom the early 1950s comes this heavenly silk dress by Hattie Carnegie. Its nipped waist silhouette is the perfect canvas for the gorgeous watercolor print that unfolds upon it: a blanket of pretty peonies in shades of pink, gray, white, lavender and, of course, Carnegie blue.
