ARCHIVE - 1970s Kay Kipps Art Nouveau Print Boho Dress Suit

£0.00 Sold out
This is a sublime 1970s ensemble from American designer Kay Kipps of New York. The dress and jacket are primarily composed of a cream georgette fabric with a stylish Art Nouveau style border print that appears on the sleeves and the pleated section of the skirt. The georgette has been edged with navy border stitching which gives a pleasing contrast to the more neutral tones of the fabric. The dress itself is a simple column affair with half inch straps and a plain bodice with the skirt section having a raised front parting. The look is very ethereal and floaty. There are two fabric layers of georgette on both the bodice and the skirt but the look is somewhat sheer and you may wish to wear with a slip. The jacket is extremely beautiful and could be worn on its own. It has a draping kimono influenced look with very wide square sleeves. The structure of the piece is supported by rope banding to hold the position at the back as there are no fastenings on the jacket. It ties at the front where the bodice meets the waistband of the skirt. Overall the piece is in very good vintage condition with gentle signs of wear and age but no faults of any note. Will fit a range of sizes up to UK 12, US 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?

Yes but please do let us know the size of your party in advance.
Where can I get alterations?

Can I cancel my appointment?
