Vintage 1970s Indian Cotton Rainbow Stripe Mini Dress Size 40 Pockets
Description
A wonderfully cheerful original 1970s Indian cotton dress featuring bold woven stripes in orange, red, yellow, green, peach, grey and white.
The dress has a softly gathered neckline with contrasting green binding and fabric ties, along with short raglan-style sleeves edged in the same green trim. The stripes run horizontally across the bodice before changing direction through the generously gathered skirt, creating a particularly effective finish.
A lightly elasticated or gathered waist gives the dress shape without making it restrictive, while two concealed side-seam pockets add a very welcome practical detail.
Made in India from lightweight cotton, this is an easy, relaxed summer dress with unmistakable 1970s colour and character.

Condition
Good vintage condition with signs of age and previous wear. The cotton has a softly faded and gently worn appearance, with some unevenness in colour. There are occasional small marks, including a darker mark towards the lower skirt, together with minor wear and loose threads around some seams. The green trim also shows natural fading. Please study the photographs carefully.
