Floral sundress & bolero jacket
This Horrockses dress was manufactured in New Zealand under licence by California Productions (NZ) Ltd. The British label, Horrockses Fashions, was founded in England in 1946. It was a household name by the 1950s and the brand was given the royal warrant in the 1960s. The recent revival of vintage fashion prompted the label to produce a range of bed linen featuring some of the original prints. This dress belonged to Phyllis Leitch who owned another Horrockses dress with a rose and trellis print.
