1970s Roland Klein for Marcel Fenez chestnut brown accordion pleat dress. This georgette fabric maxi dress has made good use of an accordion pleat design from the Raglan shoulder sleeves through to the trapeze design bodice and full A-line skirt. The sleeves finish with a Bishop style cuff that is fastened with two fabric covered buttons. It has a high cowl neck and fastens to the rear with the original zip. The dress is fully lined in a burnt orange colour acetate, save for the sleeves which have been left sheer and the bodice lining has been cut trapeze shaped to give a halter neck appearance. The dress retains its original fabric belt and fabric loops. Labelled a vintage UK 14, this piece is better suited to around a UK 10-12 or US 6-8 in modern sizing. Condition is excellent, no issues of any note.
