Victor Josselyn is a British label that produced quality garments that rivalled Horrockses. All of the Victor Josselyn dresses I have seen feature gorgeous fabrics, mostly cotton, along with wonderful prints. The cut and finishing of the garments also reflects high production values. The Victor Josselyn label is keenly sought out by collectors because of these attributes. This dress is no exception and I believe it dates from 1959 -1960.
