Step into the dramatic elegance of the late 1960s and early 1970s with this breath-taking piece by British label, Miss Jeannie.
This dress perfectly channels the era's fascination with psychedelic revivals, this floor-sweeping maxi dress boasts a striking Art Nouveau inspired graphic print. Swirling stylized clouds, organic framing, and abstract floral blooms interlock flawlessly across the silhouette, rendered in an earthy yet vibrant colorway of rich rust, ochre, deep khaki green, and cream against a stark black ground.
Crafted with an ultra-flattering trapeze cut the dress falls effortlessly away from the body from the shoulders down, providing maximum comfort and fluid motion with every step. The elegant cowl roll neckline draws the eye upward, giving way to a chic sleeveless design that balances the expansive volume of the skirt.
Made in England from a light to midweight 100% cotton gauze it is fully lined in black acetate for an opaque, structured drape.
There are two fabric covered buttons and a hook and eye on the left shoulder to allow the dress to slip over the head. There are no other closures or fasteners. The neckline then extends into ties at the left-hand side and ties over the hook and eye leaving the buttons on show.
The dress is in excellent condition with no stains/marks, tears, or structural damage. The fabric retains magnificent color depth and vibrancy. It is hand washable.
A true masterpiece of vintage textile design, this is a standout conversational piece. A must for vintage lovers and collectors.
Pair with oversized gold statement hoops, minimal block heels, and hair up to let the striking Art Nouveau print and distinctive high neckline take center stage.
Alternatively layer beneath a cropped shearling or jacket or vintage leather trench with suede flats or boots for a seamless autumnal transitional look.
There is no size label on the dress. It has been modelled and photographed on a UK Size 8 mannequin. However we estimate this would fit a current UK Size 10/12. However please see exact measurements below for the best fit.
