1970s Vintage Handmade French Newspaper Print Button Through Dress UK 8-12
A fabulous and completely individual handmade 1970s vintage dress featuring a wonderfully quirky French newspaper print in black, grey and white, punctuated with bold flashes of red and blue.
The dress has a classic button-through design with a pointed collar, short sleeves and practical patch pockets, giving it an easy shirt-dress feel. The graphic typography and newspaper print is wonderfully evocative of the bold novelty fabrics popular during the 1970s and makes this a real statement vintage piece.
Handmade rather than commercially produced, this is a true one-off with plenty of character. Its relaxed cut also makes it particularly versatile, fitting approximately a modern UK 8-12 depending on how you prefer to wear it.
