1970s Mexican Folk Dress with Floral Embroidery
Back in the 1970s, Mexican-made wedding dresses like this were all the rage and available in a wide variety of colours, but this particular piece is truly one-of-a-kind! Featuring a deep V-neck and back, 3/4 length flared sleeves, and a cut-out waist panel that accentuates the waistline, this dress is sure to flatter your figure. The entire piece is adorned with gorgeous floral embroidery, crochet trims and is crafted from a satin-like material, which sets it apart from the standard cotton.
There is some very light discolouration at the neckline, but aside from that, in lovely condition. This has been steam cleaned to protect the embroidery, but please bear in mind that this could color-bleed. It's better to clean it gently with a good steam or delicate hand wash, rather than a washing machine cycle.
