    Hi there. It looks like the hem has been shortened but wondering if this is late 50s?
    Thanks in advance!

    That is a wonderful dress. It reminds me of a few dresses I have had, designed by Mr. Mort. I might place it mid 1950s, lets see what others think.

    I think it's late '50s - early '60's. The label is not in our LR. Have you tried to find out something about the company? I did a search and there is a dress on Etsy that is listed as '50s-'60s with that label but the seller doesn't show the label. I tried to look through my books for a similar silhouette and found it in 1959 and in a nurse's uniform in 1961 or so. Since it was shortened, it's probably not later than 1961 -ish. I agree it's pretty!

    I have had Klever Klad dresses in the past, it was a Toronto manufacturing firm.
    Most Klever Klad dresses that I’ve had or seen date to the 1940s or 1950s - Klever Klad was founded in 1941.
    I always like their dresses, lots of style and quality fabrics.
