70's Embroidered Floral Cotton Dress

This insane 1970s maxi dress has major regency vibes. Made of an embroidered cotton lawn fabric, with little pink, purple, yellow and blue flowers. The sleeves are a leg of mutton style, with tight fitting snap cuffs. There's elastic in the sleeve upper to keep it puffed out. The neckline is a ruffled mockneck, and the waistband is an empire style waist which sits right under the bust. This looks like it walked right off the set of a Jane Austen film and I can't get enough! Tiered layers, with little pleated ruffle detail in between. There's a smidge of damage - a little bit of dirt around the hem and then the acetate lining in the skirt has a hem that is coming down in one spot - you could just safety pin this back up, or you can tack it up with needle and thread. The belt at the back is coming a little bit loose, but none of these things affect wear and she's a sturdy piece ready for your flower field photos!Bust measures maximum 34", underbust 29", hip 44", shoulders 13" and length
