About the Item

Beautiful and rare late 70s TOWNLEY for NEIMAN MARCUS blue and white paisley flower print Avant Garde silk dress!

Fitted around the bust, with a flattering empire line tie fastening and three covered buttons at the back in the same fabric. It would make a fantastic choice for a wedding or summer party and is in truly superb vintage condition with no issues. Best for a size extra small to small - our model is a size UK 6-8 or US 2-4 and this has room in the bust. Ossie Clark was a highly influential British fashion designer in the 1960s -1970s. In 1965 he graduated from the Royal College of Art with a first class degree and immediately began selling his work in exclusive London boutiques including Alice Pollock’s Quorum.

Quorum was bought by Radley in the late 1960s which led to the ‘Ossie Clark for Radley’ label.
