1970s Ted Lapidus Green Linen Coat Dress

About the Item

This is a great example of early unisex fashion from the revered French designer Ted Lapidus. He popularised sports utility wear and the safari suit look along with Yves Saint Laurent in the 60s and 70s. This dress is made from a richly woven linen fabric and has several notable design details including a wide lapel collar and double breasted rows of buttons with two very large front pockets. The concealed access for these pockets is in fact on the sides of the dress. The jacket has beautiful tailoring and is fully lined in a olive coloured acetate. The coat dress is in excellent vintage condition with only very minor signs of wear. There is a model number hidden within the left hand pocket. There are belt loops however the original belt is missing. We have styled it here with an original Gucci logo belt from the era which is also for sale separately – please enquire as it is not yet online. The belt loops could easily be removed with no signs of their existence if desired. The dress is not marked size wise but would fit up to UK size 10 or US 6. MEASUREMENTS: Bust - 36 in (91.4 cm) Waist - 32 in (81.3 cm) Hip - 36 in (91.4 cm) Length - 43.5 in (110.5 cm) Shoulders - 15.5 in (39.4 cm)
