1970s Jade green off-the-shoulder maxi dress with red and blue ribbon detail. Medium. Scotland.
€85.00
Full-length Marion Donaldson peasant dress with elasticated, flutter shoulders (can be worn off shoulders or ruffled around the collar bone) and ruched hem, both trimmed with red and blue ribbons. Matching belt is also decorated with ribbons, the ends of each of which terminate in a pair of beads. Nylon zipper to back.
No fabric content on labels but it looks like a semi-sheer crepe gauze in cotton or cotton-mix.
No flaws noted; this dress looks to have been seldom or never worn.
Marked a (vintage) Size 14. Measures: 28” waist (will stretch to about 29”), 55” length, 36” bust.
*A slightly smaller size is available in a red version (see pic).
**Last three pics show patterns for similar dresses from the early 70s.
