1970s Aqua Blue Floral Maxi Dress, Empire Line Puff Sleeve Dress, Lilac Turquoise Flower Print, Vintage Boho Wedding Guest Gown
Description
A beautiful original 1970s maxi dress in a soft aqua blue, covered with a wonderfully nostalgic floral print in turquoise, lilac, sage green and white.
The dress has a flattering V-neckline, gently gathered bust and a shaped empire-line waistband. Softly puffed elbow-length sleeves balance the fitted bodice, while the long skirt falls into a graceful A-line silhouette with plenty of movement.
The slightly lustrous fabric gives the dress an elegant finish, making it ideal for a summer wedding, garden party, vintage event or special occasion. Its pastel colouring and romantic floral print also lend themselves beautifully to cottagecore and bohemian styling.
