1970s Original Paisley Print Indian Block Work Dress

About the Item

An original 1970s floral Indian paisley print dress in a vibrant pinky red and pale orange. The design boasts a high neck collar and a bibbed front yoke in a similar floral print. The dress has no fastenings and slips on over the head with a V neck opening in the yolk to allow access. We really love the pink corded fastenings which are hand embellished with gold thread and mini red pom poms! The silhouette is set off by delightful bishop style sleeves with elasticated cuffs. The dress falls gently from the yoke which is also edged in red piping. This dress is in very good to excellent vintage condition showing only very gentle signs of age appropriate wear - no holes, stains or rips. It is still vibrant and in a very desirable print. The label has been removed or fallen out with the passage of time; however, this an authentic and original dress by one of the great boho labels of this era possibly Anokhi or Adini. It will fit a range of sizes due to the loose fit and is most likely a cotton rayon blend. MEASUREMENTS Bust - 40 in. (101.6 cm) Waist - 48 in. (121.9 cm) Hip - 56 in. (142.2 cm) Length - 48 in.

  • Documented 1982 Yves Saint Laurent multicolor striped dress
    By Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, Yves Saint Laurent
    Located in CULEMBORG, GE
    When Yves Saint Laurent visited Morocco for the first time in 1966 it changed his life forever. Struck by its beauty he immediately acquired a house in Marrakech and stayed there at least two times a year to design his collections. Yves Saint Laurent once said: ‘Marrakech opened my eyes to color.’ The colors of the stained glass windows and beamed ceilings of the Bahia Palace in Marrakech are a perfect example what inspired him when designing this particular dress for his Rive Gauche collection that came out in 1982. The exciting mix of vivid colors Yves Saint Laurent used designing this dress have a pattern of vertical stripes in lively red, purple indigo, apple green and Dijon yellow alternated with thin black and white stripes. Adding a pussy bow and bishop sleeves gives the entire look an elegant feel. The high quality silk is in a very good vintage condition and has been professionally cleaned and pressed. The state of this unique Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche dress is very good, only a small piece of the original mother-of-pearl button left hand button has chipped off (see the last photograph), but can be easily replaced. As you wish we can replace this with a new button without charging extra costs. The dress that was also featured in Vogue magazine in a 1982 Yves...
