Ian Thomas Designer Dress
Couture Silk Gown Designed by Ian Thomas – Designer to Queen Elizabeth II
A rare and elegant gown by Ian Thomas, personal couturier to Queen Elizabeth II, renowned for his refined, understated luxury. This full-length piece from the late 1960s to early 1970s is a collector’s dream – likely bespoke, and representative of the same design excellence seen in the Queen’s royal wardrobe.
Crafted in a soft, painterly floral silk chiffon, this gown features delicate knife pleats, voluminous bishop sleeves, and a beautifully tailored bodice. Fully lined with a hand-set back zip, the gown bears the exclusive Ian Thomas, 25A Lowndes St, S.W.1 label, marking it as a private commission from his Belgravia atelier.
Sir Ian Thomas trained under Norman Hartnell and was entrusted to design for Her Majesty across decades – including for royal tours and official events. Pieces by Thomas are scarce, especially outside of institutional collections.
Pieces by Ian Thomas almost never appear for sale and are often held in museum or royal collections.
