1960s Patchwork Floral Appliqué Princess Dress • SM
Vintage 1960s patchwork floral appliqué princess dress with bishop sleeves, in exquisite condition and freshly laundered by hand. This dress is truly a wearable work of well-made folk art. Its carefully curated cutouts and perfectly placed patchwork form a pastiche of sixties-era flower power, wrought with whimsy and brimming with charm. The classic “princess” silhouette elevates the dress with a timeless shape while, at the same time, maintaining both its youthful allure and the floral appliqué focal point. Its beautiful bishop sleeves feature a subtle puff at the gathered shoulders and more flowers where the sleeves become full, culminating at a fitted wrist with a snap for closure. The maxi dress becomes increasingly full from the dress’ bust to its floor-sweeping hem. The dress is fully lined. The fabric content is not given, but it feels like a lightweight silk or blend thereof? Maybe the patches are silk and the dress is nylon/poly/silk? I am not sure. Regardless, this is an absolutely stunning example of hippie-inspired hand-tailoring by a skilled and creative craftsperson, in superb condition & ready for its debut on you!
Measurements: bust 36” waist 32” hips 40” length 53” (modern small, small side of a medium).
