1970s Green Shirtwaister Dress with Jacquard Detail and Ruffle Collar
Description
This pretty seafoam green dress was designed in the late 1970s to early 1980s. Tailored to a shirtwaister silhouette, it is smart and feminine. The jacquard fabric is lightly pleated and has a slight sheen; it is finished with a tonal geometric pattern. The high collar and button cuffs are finished with ruffled, tightly pleated cloth and there is a tie at the collar. The front is detailed with buttons covered in coordinating fabric. The skirt is box pleated, falls to the calf, and is lined in green satin. It kicks out playfully around the wearer as they walk. There is a matching belt with a fabric-covered flat buckle.
In excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note although the designer label is no longer present in the dress. Crafted in Hong Kong and of good quality, it is made from 100% Polyester and labelled a US size 10 but please check the measurements below as the fabric has no stretch. We believe that this would best fit a slightly smaller UK size 12-14 or US 8-10.
