1960s Vintage Block Printed Paisley Ethnic Kaftan • New Generation Boutique
Flippin' amazing and rare hand block printed dress from the 60s London Boutique New Generation, with it's wonderfully psychedelic label. This dress is made from a thick cotton or line like a barkcloth and is unique. The printing has splodges and all hand done by the artist.

SIZING
Vintage sizing is very different to modern day sizes, they usually are at least 2 sizes smaller depending on the era of manufacture. So to ensure a good fit please go by the measurements provided. I measure the garment laid flat edge to absolute edge then double, which give the maximum, you will need to measure your own clothes to compare sizing
