About the Item

This summery ensemble was designed in the 1970s and is reminiscent of the work of great American stylist and designer Giorgio di Sant' Angelo, best remembered for his fashion shoot in 1968 with the model Veruschka for Vogue. It was a revolutionary fashion spread at the time, ushering in the 1970’s boho-hippie-gypset look that has continued to inspire countless designers and editorial fashion shoots. Composed of a strapless top and flowing maxi-skirt, it is crafted from rich cream cheesecloth. The cheesecloth is detailed with embroidery of sunflowers and leaf-covered vines across the top and across the bottom of the skirt. The top is further detailed with a pretty scallop hem and is unlined. It has an elasticated bust allowing a flexible fit. The skirt has a high waistband which fastens with a hidden zip and skirt hook. It falls to the floor and is detailed with subtle florals and stripes down the whole length. The bottom hem is trimmed with a thick band of grosgrain ribbon stripe with sunset colours of orange and pinks. The skirt is fully lined in a gauzy cotton and the lining peeks out from the bottom of the skirt, trimmed with the sunflower embroidered cheesecloth and finished with a scallop hem - made in the same fabric as the top. There is a removable belt at the waist - also made from sunset-hued, striped ribbon - that can be woven through cheesecloth belt loops. Both pieces are fabulously made and in excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note. No designer or size labels remain in the dress so please check our measurements below. There is no composition label and the fabric has no stretch. Our model (5ft 4in / 163 cm) is a UK 6-8, or US 2-4 and this was roomy on her. We estimate a good fit for sizes up to a UK 10-12 or US 6-8. MEASUREMENTS TOP BUST - 36 in. (91 cm) WAIST - 36 in. (91 cm) LENGTH - 14 in. (37 cm) MEASUREMENTS SKIRT WAIST - 29 in.
