Very Pucci-esque 70's Maxi Dress. Slit up the sides, which is perfect for wearing the little Hot Pants that match this outfit. The 70's was a love affair with synthetic fabrics, Disco, and fantastic Op Pop Art. This dress is a fabulous example of this period in fashion. It has a label which reads Henry Higgins. The style, and to a certain extent, the fabric does remind me of Pucci. **The bodice is lilac shimmery polyester. The style is long sleeves, high neck, and slightly drapey look. Sleeves are a bit above the wrist. It zips up the back with nylon zipper. Lined. **The skirt falls in straight lines from a slightly elevated waist. I do not know what you would call the fabric design concept...it is very Modern, pop art for sure. Colors are cranberry, lilac, blues, black and deep sienna. Cubist meets Polyester. It is trimmed in a wider silver metallic trim. The belt snaps and is the same fabric. The skirt is lined. C O N D I T I O N: Excellent. We restored the dress to its original length . Faint hint of hem mark in a couple of sections about 3" above hem because of this. Not really noticeable. S I Z E: small. Length: 52", Bust: 34-35", waist: 26", sleeve length: 22" SHORTS: Length: 12-1/2", hips: 37", waist: 27" PLEASE NOTE: We do not clean most of our vintage clothing, and recommend that you either wash or have them dry cleaned. Any issues we believe will be problematic we mention. Thanks, Maire et al |
