Often operating through his Jean Varon label, John Bates produced some of the most forward-looking designs of the 1960s and 1970s, distinguished by graphic lines, imaginative construction, and a distinctly futuristic sensibility. This dress was created under his own name and is generously tailored from heavy red crepe to a flowing, A-line maxi silhouette. The sleeves are long and cut to a theatrical batwing shape with long, slim cuffs covering the forearm. It is unlined and is secured at the back of the neck with a tonal red zip and hook-and-eye clasp. The applique detailing is beautiful; it forms an abstract shape from red silk satin and rainbow-hued sequins across the front of the gown that could be interpreted as a rocket, a moth or a butterfly. The cuffs are embellished with Art Deco forms created from sequins in pale blue, bronze and navy. They close with two red satin-covered buttons and fabric loops. The skirt has a slit at the front. The dress comes with a slim belt crafted from coordinating red crepe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition wise, this is in excellent vintage condition with no issues and so beautifully made. It is labelled a vintage UK size 14 but vintage sizes vary hugely so please check the below measurements. Our model's sizes are: Bust: 34\" (87cm), Waist: 24\" (61cm), Hips: 34.5\" (88cm) and Height: 5' 7\" (170cm) and she's a size UK 6, US 2. We estimate this will fit up to a small-busted UK 12 or US 8 but looks great on our smaller size model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBUST - 34 in.
