1960s Rainbow Watercolour Silk Floral Dress with Pleated Skirt

This unlabelled late 1960s British Couture silk summer dress has a super feminine silhouette with a nipped-in waist. The skirt is flared and box pleated and flips out around the wearer as they walk. The fabric is a very high quality lightweight silk crepe printed with a painterly, abstract scene of flowers in a meadow, rendered in vibrant rainbow hues. The dress has wide shoulder straps and a V-neck at the front and back. It fastens at the back with a hidden zip and hook-and-eye clasp. The top of the dress is lined with nude jersey which has a gentle stretch for a comfortable wear. The skirt section contains a nude slip.

The dress is in truly excellent vintage condition with no issues. It has belt loops at the sides but no belt remains so the new owner can either add one of their own or snip these off. No labels remain save for a small size label; please double-check our measurements below as the fabric has no stretch. A good fit for a UK 12 or US 8 and would work for smaller sizes too.
