About the Item

Very rare Barbara Hulanicki for Biba mini dress dating from the late 1960's. Made in a vibrant mustard-yellow fabric with an intricate Art Deco-inspired print in shades of cream, lilac and plum, this piece perfectly captures Biba's distinctive mix of glamour and eccentricity from the era. The dress has a softly flounced collar framing the neckline, a decorative bow at the front, adorable heart-shaped novelty buttons, and fluttering layered sleeves. Structured padded shoulders create a strong silhouette, balanced by a gently flared mini-length skirt. A wonderful and highly collectible example of early Biba design. The size label is no longer present although this best fits a US 2 or 4. Approximate measurements: bust fully extended 33" and length, empire waist 28" and overall length 34". Zip closure at center back. Very good condition.
