1960s Paisley Shift Dress, Aqua Green Yellow Cotton Dress, Ruffle Shoulder Mini Dress, Vintage Mod Summer Dress with Pockets
Description
A joyful late 1960s to early 1970s shift dress featuring an intricate paisley print in aqua blue, fresh green and sunny yellow.
The dress has a relaxed A-line silhouette with a softly gathered scoop neckline and pretty double-layered ruffles over the shoulders. Two large patch pockets sit at the front, each finished with a matching gathered frill—a wonderfully playful period detail.
Made from a crisp, lightweight woven fabric that appears to be cotton or a cotton blend, this is an easy and comfortable vintage summer dress with plenty of authentic retro charm.
Perfect for holidays, festivals, summer days or anyone who loves colourful 1960s and 1970s fashion.
