1970s Jean Varon Cream Georgette Tiered Maxi Dress
About the Item
This ethereal wedding dress dates from the mid 1970s, with its tiered construction, caped shoulders and layers of frothy pale cream georgette. The skirt is formed from a cream acetate lining topped with a sheer layer of polyester georgette. An appliqué flower anchors the shoulder, drawing the eye whilst the gown swirls around the wearer. A concealed zip and hook-and-eye clasp fastens at the back. This dress is presented in excellent vintage condition and is ready for your special day. Labelled a UK size 16 this will fit a variety of sizes from UK 10 onwards or US 6 - 10 due to the fluid design. Our model (5ft 4in/ 163 cm) is a UK 6-8, this dress had room to spare on her.
Notes on Designer: John Bates was a highly regarded British designer who began his label Jean Varon in 1959. Famous for sheer panels, short hemlines and bare midriffs, he was one of the pioneers of the miniskirt and trousers for women. He chose the name Jean Varon in order to appear to be French and also because it meant he was the only designer under the letter 'V' in the rag trade book. In 1965, he designed outfits in Op Art prints for Diana Rigg for her role as Emma Peel in The Avengers. John Bates, along with Ossie Clark, Gina Fratini and Bill Gibb, pioneered a romantic and dramatic mood in fashion in the early 1970s.
