Description
This tomato red, abstract floral print, full-skirted late 1970s dress will be a great 3-season piece to transition from fall to winter. Just add a cardigan and tights when the weather turns chilly! The lightweight poly-cotton blend fabric is a semi-sheer, crisp organdy. The kinetic floral pops against the bright red background, in saturated shades of turquoise, purple, gold, and black. The shirred elastic waist provides a comfy fit, below the blouson-style bodice and above the flaring skirt. Non-stretchy shirring also trims the round neckline, tied with a large pussy bow. Small black plastic buttons and loops fasten the bodice below the neckline. The slightly puffed, three-quarter-length sleeves have elastic at their hems. The dress pulls on over the head, and is unlined.
In excellent condition, this versatile, midi-length late 70s dress has no flaws to note.
