This beautiful dress from the 1970's exemplifies the cottage-core aesthetic with its billowing sleeves and sweet vintage lace detailing.
Vertical panels of lace and ribbon form the bodice shape which is unlined and fabulous full gathered sleeves contrast this fitted shape. The waist is nipped in with a satin ribbon belt and the a-line skirt has a full gathered hem panel.
A gorgeous dress that has been carefully restored, new silk satin buttons replaced older discoloured plastic ones and a new zip has been added. This dress is near perfect condition, there is one mark on the skirt hemline frill that is possibly nail polish, not very noticeable when being worn.
