Crafted from lightweight polyester and fully lined, this dress showcases the era’s love for structured yet versatile silhouettes. The expert tailoring features chevron-matched striping at the waist and back, creating a slimming hourglass effect—a nod to the 70s obsession with clean lines and geometric balance.

Designed to be both polished and playful, the dress features a classic notched lapel collar, a button-front closure with five buttons, and cuffed three-quarter-length sleeves, giving a professional yet feminine flourish. These refined details reflect the empowered, career-minded spirit of 1970s women, who sought chic, versatile pieces that could seamlessly transition from day to night.
