1970s French Linen Floral Dress with Key Hole Detail

About the Item

This fabulous 1970s linen dress features a high rounded neckline and unusual double keyhole detail. It has the original French zip closure running all the way down the back and is nipped in at the waist to create a more defined silhouette. Both the waistband and the hem of the dress are highlighted with red and white piping, while the main fabric features red, orange, green, blue and white flowers and butterfly outlines against a black background. The design has a real 'flower power' feel to it. The inside of the dress is lined in white silky feel fabric, and although unlabelled, it has clearly been made to an incredibly high standard and manufactured in France. It would make the perfect day dress addition to any vintage wardrobe. The dress is in very good to excellent gently worn vintage condition, with no flaws to note. It would best fit a size 8-10 UK, or 4-6 US. MEASUREMENTS: BUST: 35 in. ( 88.9 cm ) WAIST: 28 in. ( 71.12 cm ) HIP: 37 in. ( 93.98 cm ) LENGTH: 37 in. ( 93.98 cm )
