This is a beautiful vintage 1970s off white maxi dress, with a striking dagger collar, cute button up front, mini embellished pearl bead details to the bust & bell sleeves. The dress has a lacy floral detail pattern throughout & a non stretch inner lining that isn't attached, so the lace outer could easily be worn alone as a semi sheer dress, or with an alternative slip underneath. The dress is in great condition overall, with one small faint stain (smaller than a 5 pence piece) to the lower front, this is hardly noticeable when worn. The dress has been lovingly hand washed with non toxic detergent. Due to the inner lining coming up smaller in size than the outer, we have included both measurements below. Please check these for an idea of fit.
This dress would make an amazing one-of-a-kind wedding dress for the vintage loving bride!
