1970s Per Spook for Louis Feraud White and Blue Cotton Dress with Belt

This crisp cotton dress was designed by Per Spook for Louis Feraud during the 1970s. During the 1960s, Norwegian fashion designer Per Spook joined French fashion house Louis Féraud. He went on to become Louis Féraud’s artistic director and designed the brand’s lauded haute couture collections until 1977. Known for his cerebral tailoring and subtly whimsical detailing, this summery dress has a very contemporary feel to it. Tailored from white cotton - which has retained its vibrancy - it is detailed across the back, shoulders, neckline and bottom hem with abstract geometric patterns in vibrant cobalt blue outlined in navy. We love the formal high ruffle collar, playful bell-sleeves and panelled, ruffled skirt. The dress has a V-neckline and nipped in, smocked waist - cinched further with a removable pleated blue and white cotton belt. In-seam pockets at the hips add a laid-back feel. The dress is unlined.

In excellent vintage condition with no issues and labelled a French size 38, US 6 or UK 10. There is some flexibility on this sizing due to the smocked waist and flared skirt. Our model's sizes are: Bust: 34" (87cm), Waist 24" (61cm), Hips: 34.5" (88cm) and 5' 7" (170cm). She wears a dress size UK 6, US 2.
