1970s Orange Novelty Print Midi Dress: Camera Photography Print, Tiered Skirt, Vintage

Vintage 1970s Orange Novelty Print Dress UK 8 10 Camera Photography Print Tiered Midi Dress

Description

A fabulous original 1970s dress in vibrant burnt orange, finished with an extraordinarily quirky photographic novelty-print hem.

The contrasting border print depicts an atmospheric assortment of cameras, lamps, bottles, photographic equipment and darkroom-style imagery in shades of black, brown, cream and orange. It is a wonderfully unusual design and unmistakably of its era.

The fitted sleeveless bodice has a deep V-neckline with decorative horizontal strap detailing across the décolletage. Soft gathering beneath the bust creates a flattering shape before the dress falls from the raised waist into a gently flared skirt.

A wide contrasting tier and softly gathered lower section give the skirt movement and make the remarkable novelty print the real focal point.

An exceptionally individual piece of 1970s fashion that would look fabulous worn with platform shoes or boots. Perfect for a vintage event, party, festival or collector of unusual novelty prints.
