ARCHIVE - 1960s Lime Green Psychedelic Print Dress With Box Pleat Skirt And Wide Lapel
This vibrant late 1960s or early 1970s psychedelic print shirt dress is Gold Label by London Boutique Tricoville and is in exceptional vintage condition with some smart, striking design features. The silky feel fabric is a dynamic lime green with a vivacious Art Nouveau style tree design in sugar pink, white and tangerine. The dress has short quarter length sleeves with a pristine fold at the cuff and a wide set lapel collar that descends into a central button stand of 4 x fabric covered buttons. The bodice is neatly tailored and cinched at the waist with a buckle belt in matching fabric. The mid-calf length skirt is presented in stiff box pleats which hold their shape beautifully right to the hem. There is no zip, but there are concealed popper fastenings below the button stand over the navel. The formal aesthetic of this dress juxtaposed with the dynamic colour and print makes this a wonderfully adaptable and head turning dress. Would best suit a US size 2-4, UK 6-8.
