About the Item

This charming 1970s printed chiffon dress is unlabelled however it is exceptionally pretty with a unique novelty print depicting romantic images of wistful young girls and courting lovers amidst floral settings. The colours are soft pastel shades of pale pink, warm ochre and blue and create a languid, summery feel. It is long sleeved with a pointed collar frill both front and reverse, a nipped in waist and flowing ankle length skirt.

  • 1970s Ted Lapidus Muslin Hooded Swiss-Dot Dress
    By Ted Lapidus Boutique
    Located in London, GB
    This 1970s dress is a phenomenal design piece from Ted Lapidus and from his flagship boutique line in Paris. It would have almost certainly been made by the same team as the haute couture collections and is in a wonderful cream checked muslin that features large embroidered Swiss dots. The dress is a v neck shirtwaister design with fabric covered buttons down to the upper-waist. The gathered skirt reaches to the floor. The dress features romantic, poet style, three-quarter length sleeves. To give greater volume to the piece, there is a cream muslin petticoat retained and original to this ensemble. This is not attached to the dress; therefore, the dress could be worn with or without to suit the wearer's taste. A ribbon belt which matches the V neck and arm trims is also included. In really excellent vintage condition, there are just a couple of very small, scattered marks in the muslin, but these are very faded and not at all obvious or noticeable when wearing. The dress would certainly benefit from future cleans as required. There is no size label but we estimate it a best fit for UK size 6-8, US 2-4 on account of the waist size. Ted Lapidus began his long fashion career at the house of Christian Dior before branching out on his own in 1951. He is known for his unisex style of dressing and was worn by leading French stars...
