This elegant 1970's cream silk satin and crochet dress, rendered in an iconic design, is just the piece to add to your classical vintage wardrobe.
The V shaped neckline, is framed by a cream silk turned down pointed collar, which draws in centrally. The simple shoulder line, sets off the full length inset crochet sleeves, which are edged with silk turned up cuffs. The fitted crochet bodice, boasts a light coloured nylon lining. The bodice is accented by a central silk panel, upon which the matching silk covered button fastenings are positioned. The cinched in waistline, is set off by a matching silk and leather belt, which draws the waistline in, whilst accenting the gathered pleats that drape from the waist seam. The timeless silhouette of the dress is accented by the structure of the satin along the skirt line and the internal organza lining, completing this gown in a truly iconic 1970's design.
