We love dresses that are bold, feminine and comfortable, intended to brighten your mood, whether for everyday wear or a special occasion!
Wear a piece of Australian art and fashion history with this striking print by icon Jenny Kee. It's one of her more rare design and I was beyond excited to find it in this as new condition! A true collector's item!
This style is named after Coco Chanel - a style pioneer who liberated us from corsets and introduced feminist thinking and freedoms to fashion. So whilst it has all the vintage feels, the Coco Dress has been tailored for modern life.
- Classic fit and flare silhouette with darts at front and back waist and bust
- Neatly fitted to the body, yet not tight - it hugs on the ribs but flows over the actual tummy so you still have room to move, sit and eat!
- Pleated A-Line skirt, to the knee.
- Cap sleeves.
- Gently scooped neck.
- Zipper opening at back.
- Pockets in side seams.
Vintage fabric in mint condition. However PLEASE NOTE there is a slight print fault on the bodice, a pale vertical line where the ink isn't as intense in colour, it can be seen on the second image. The price has been reduced accordingly.
It has a firm structure to it and although still running true to size, it has a more snug fit because there's no give in the fabric and may not suit if you have a bigger bust. Cotton with a small poly component, with some weight to it and smooth finish.
Handwash or machine wash on delicates cycle only, inside a wash bag, using phosphate free detergent. Dry on a coathanger and you may not need to iron.
One of a kind/limited edition. Handmade partly in my studio along with a small sewing business in Sydney's inner west.
