1970s Frank Usher Seafoam Green Chiffon Maxi Dress

About the Item

This beautiful 1970s Frank Usher printed chiffon maxi dress in seafoam green is elegant, feminine, and in excellent vintage condition. The dress features a wrap over bodice which is secured across the bust with concealed hook and eye fastenings to create a plunging V neckline. There are long bishop sleeves with a wide set cuff, a neatly cinched waistline and a floor sweeping straight cut skirt. The pale green chiffon overlay is printed with a delicate iris print in forest green, brown, white and charcoal grey. The pattern is juxtaposed with a bold striped design in the same colourway that is used to define the neckline, waistband, cuffs and hem. The skirt is lined in pale grey while the bodice and sleeves remain sheer. There are interior popper fastenings concealed in the waistband to allow the dress to loosen sufficiently to be slipped over the head. This lovely piece has a fresh bohemian aesthetic and would be a perfect choice for a wedding or summer evening parties. Would best suit US size 4, UK size 8. Of note, the hook and eyes have been moved on the waistband to accommodate up to a 29in waist. The original waist size was 27in and you can just see a few stitch marks. We can replace back to original site if preferred. MEASUREMENTS: BUST - 34 in. (86.36 cm) WAIST - 26-29 in. (66-74 cm) HIP - 36 in. (91.5 cm) LENGTH - 57 in. (144.78 cm) ACROSS BACK - 14.5 in.
