About the Item

This vivid 1970s sleeveless maxi dress was designed by Rose Marie Reid. A fascinating example of Rose Marie Reid’s later design work, bridging her background in structured mid-century swimwear with the relaxed, fluid forms of 1970s resort wear. It is made from a smooth, cool manmade fabric with a subtle stretch and silky hand, reminiscent of the designer’s signature swimwear materials. The bold paisley print combines crimson, purple, olive, teal, and white in swirling, graphic patterns. The dress features a V-neckline and a keyhole cut-out at the back, fastening above with three fabric-covered buttons and loops. The skirt is tailored to a gentle A-line shape. It is unlined except for a built-in pale beige bust lining, shaped like a soft, elasticated bandeau that closes separately at the back. This dress is in excellent vintage condition. It has no composition label. It is labelled a size M, but please check our measurements below; we think more suitable for a sizes up to a UK 8-10 or US 4-6. The fabric has a tiny bit of stretch.
