$ 159.99

Gorgeous 1970s sun dress in a vivid scarf print, made in England in the 1970s! This runway-worthy dress is a classic halter with a fitted waist panel, lined in soft cotton. The huge flared skirt has a broad ruffle hem, and the piecing is especially clever, with panels of striped botanical tropical florals against tony scarf prints of flourishes, chains and metal hardware.
