Regular price
£130.00
Vintage 80s Droopy & Browns Colourful Abstract Printed Cotton Tailored Dress size 8.
Fabulously colourful printed dress by Alison Holmes at the wonderful London store, Droopy & Browns. Her dresses were made to go beyond time and were heavily influenced by former years, specifically Victorian with cinched in waistlines and oversized shoulders. This down could easily be worn today, it's so flattering, but if the shoulders were too much for you then you would be able to either take them out and make a sleeveless dress or make them narrower to suit you.

SIZING
Vintage sizing is very different to modern day sizes, they’re usually 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.
To compare measurements with sizes click the pink side tab on the right of the screen.
