Vintage Ossie Clark for Radley Burgundy Moss Crêpe Maxi Dress – Satin Yoke, Labelled Size 10
Description
A deep burgundy Ossie Clark for Radley maxi dress in moss crêpe, with a wide pointed collar and tonal satin yokes at the front and back. The back yoke dips to a point between the shoulders, and the satin continues down the lower sleeves, where it gathers into wide buttoned cuffs.
Long seams shape the dress through the body before the skirt flares gently towards the hem. Matching fabric-covered buttons run down the front, mostly in pairs, with two more at each cuff. The Moss crepe flowing as it should
