1970s Off-White Floral Embroidered Crochet Wrap Top and Maxi-Skirt
About the Item
This true vintage Mexican embroidered ensemble was designed in the 1970s by an unknown designer and may have been made for the burgeoning export market at that time to the United States and Europe. It is composed of two pieces - an elaborately crafted, crochet-trimmed wrap-top and an a-line skirt. The skirt is high-waisted and tailored to an ankle-grazing maxi length from intricately woven off-white crochet. It is broken up by panels of cotton, hand embroidered with flowers in rainbow hues. It fastens at the back with two hidden hook-and-eye clasps and a hidden tonal white zip. The top is tailored from the same panels of crochet and embroidered cotton. It has long sleeves with buttons cuffs that each fasten with two pearlescent buttons. The front is composed of two long panels which tie at the front in a relaxed, wrap style. Both the skirt and top are unlined, resulting in a skin-flashing, peekaboo finish.
This ensemble is one of the finest of its type we have ever had at Circa and in fantastic vintage condition with no faults - it appears unworn. It is labelled a size 10, but please check our measurements below as this bares no resemblance to modern USA sizing. We believe that this would best fit sizes UK 6-8-10 or US 2-4-6 with a small waist.

View All1990s Couture Silk Floral Rose Print Dress and Jacket Suit
Located in London, GB
This enchanting 1990s printed silk 2 piece set is comprised of a simple shift dress and bolero to be worn as either as an ensemble or separates. The aesthetic is playful, summery and feminine and presents easily as formal or informal attire. The soft ivory silk is slightly embossed with an irregular texture atop a vibrant rose print design in sugar pink, canary yellow, sapphire blue and emerald green. The dress is sleeveless and broad straps are gathered at the shoulders. The full circle skirt is gathered into tight uniform pleats below the waist and flares generously to the calf. The hem is fluted in yellow satin to match the pretty satin rosette embellishments that feature on the waistband and atop of each shoulder. The bodice is lined in ivory silk.
The jacket has three quarter length sleeves which are gathered at the shoulder and the cuff to create an understated fairytale puff. The wide cuffs are embellished with satin rosettes to complement those on the dress, and the seams are fluted in matching yellow ribbon. This piece has a collarless round neck and falls into a central button stand which curves at the hem and hosts 4 x yellow lucite buttons. Tailoring below the bust brings the jacket neatly in at the waist when fastened, and a pretty peplum flares out over the hips. The peplum detail becomes more exaggerated at the reverse, where it is gathered into pleats to mirror the skirt. In pristine vintage condition, this charming set would best suit a US size 4, UK size 8 or smaller. Unlabelled couture...
