70s Op Art Print Vintage Dress Jersey Slinky Atomic Starburst Draped Bodice Women's VFG
- Description
This 70s vintage dress is fashion forward without pushing too hard. The silhouette is a swingy A-line trapeze shift, fitted at the upper bodice, loose at the waist, and flaring to the hem. The upper bodice is designed with soft three dimensional folds that gather into the shoulder seam and move focus upward to the loose turtleneck that is ruched into the back zipper.
SIZE: No size label. Measurements taken without stretching - the jersey fabric does have some give.

FABRIC/COLORS: I would describe the print as op art, in an 70s atomic sort of way. It is light and bright, with small particles of white "exploding" onto a background that is a dreamsicle shade of orange. The fabric itself is a soft jersey knit, definitely synthetic. Fiber burn test suggests nylon with perhaps some polyester blended in. Care tag recommends "professional" dry clean only, but if it were in my closet, I would try hand washing, and potentially graduate to machine wash gentle cycle.
TAGS: No maker's tag, but this was professionally made - there is a care tag on the inner shoulder.
CLOSURES: A long nylon zipper down the back.
CONDITION: I have repaired a few small sections of open seam. No holes, tears or stains noted.
