ARCHIVE - 1970s Roland Klein Black Pleated Chiffon Cocktail Dress

£0.00 Sold out
This vivacious 1970s black pleated chiffon cocktail dress is by Roland Klein for Marcel Fenez and is charming, feminine and in excellent vintage condition. The dress is comprised of a black crepe underlay cut into a simple shift style silhouette overlain with finely pleated chiffon fabric. The underlay has a simple line with a tailored bust, neat waistline and straight cut calf length skirt with a zip fastening to the left. By contrast, the overlay is loose fitting and fluid, with a full circle skirt flaring in soft folds from the waistband. The texture of the fabric between the hem and the knee alters direction on alternate pleats to create a chevron design juxtaposed with the vertical pleats on the upper half of the skirt. The top of the bodice is made up from a circle of pleated fabric elasticated to form a Bardot neckline that stretches across the shoulder and falls over the bust to form a large frill. To consolidate the piece, there is a tie belt in chevron textured fabric to match the hem. This lovely dress is perfect for parties and would fit up to US size 4, UK size 8.

F.A.Q.

Will you set anything aside for me before I come?

We are happy to find anything you may be interested in from our website - please let us know a week in advance. 

We also have an extensive offline collection. If you let us know your size, style, favourite colour to wear and perhaps your budget, we can browse through our archive in advance of your appointment. 
Do I need to bring anything with me?

Clients may wish to bring modern shapewear when trying on garments from certain eras, especially the 1950s. Vintage clothing was often worn with undergarments that shaped the waist and as such is tailored for them.


We have a huge variety of slip dresses and petticoats to complete your look; many of which are also for sale.


You may also wish to bring your favourite footwear. We often find a classic pair of nude shoes work well when trying on, or a pair in gold or silver.
Do you have a price range?

Many of our lower-priced pieces (under £150) are not available to buy online. Our prices range from £80 - £600 for separates. Dresses start at around £150 and go up to £2,500 for the very best antique pieces and designer vintage. Our bridalwear ranges from £300 - £3,000.
Can I bring anyone with me?
