More about this Item

It is notoriously difficult to find true vintage in modern wearable sizes, so we did a little happy dance when we found this beauty. This is a Late 1960s / Early 1970s sleeveless collar dress featuring a striking abstract print that feels part tribal, part topographical map, and part biology class—all in chic neutrals of cream, chocolate brown, and black.

The fabric is Trevira, a high-quality vintage synthetic designed to mimic the texture of raw silk or linen. It has that desirable “nubby” feel but is durable and resistant to wrinkles. The dress is fully lined and closes with a nylon zipper in the back.

Condition: She is in Very Good Vintage Condition.

  • Clean: She has been OxyCleaned and smells fresh!

  • Wear: There are a few minor surface snags due to the textured nature of the weave.

  • Spots: On very close inspection, there are extremely faint spots/stains on the fabric that did not fully lift, but they are nearly invisible amidst the busy pattern. There is also a bit of residue/makeup grease on the inside collar lining (not visible when worn).

Measurements:

  • Bust: 41 inches

  • Waist: 36 inches

  • Hips: 45 inches

  • Length: 41 inches

  • Modern Size Estimate: Large / XL (Approx US 12/14)

Material:

  • Outer: 100% Synthetic (Trevira Polyester)

  • Lining: Synthetic (likely Acetate)
