1970s Homemade Striped Boat Neck Maxi Dress
A real statement piece! This fabulous homemade maxi dress is truly one-of-a-kind. It features a slash neckline, nipped waist, and slightly batwing sleeves, leading into a sleek, fitted A-line skirt. Crafted from a thick cotton and likely polyester blend, it provides warmth and coverage, making it perfect for cooler weather. The bold striped print is full of vibrant colour, with pops of orange, green, and blue. It is unlined, very well made and zips up the back.
