1970s Blue and White Painted Silk Chiffon Floral Layered Angel Sleeve Dress
About the Item
Bright colors, and the floral print were staple design elements in poplar 1970s fashion popularized by the rise of countercultural movements notably the hippies. The use of light weight fabrics to form wide silhouettes revived the aesthetic dress attributes from which the 70s hippie style is arguably derivative. This maxi length dress is made of a painted striped silk chiffon that produces a blue-to-white ombré effect that is reminiscent of watercolors softly bleeding together. Additionally, roses of pink, soft green, and red are painted atop in a lighthearted artisanal style. The bodice is fitted at the waist by darts from which a knee length tier drapes creating additional dimension to the dress. Echoing this fluidity, this dress also features elbow length angel sleeves. While the designer of this dress is unknown, the overall style is quite reflective of the work of designers Zandra Rhodes, and Adele Simpson.
