1960s Vintage Green Paisley Tie-Neck Tunic Dress Size 16/18
Such a brilliant little piece – and the label really is iconic! This is a genuine late 1960s to early 1970s vintage tunic dress by Linda Leigh, made in England, featuring that unforgettable “It’s a slimmer world…” tagline which perfectly captures the era’s playful approach to fashion and marketing. The dress is cut in a relaxed, easy-wearing silhouette with a softly structured shape that skims the body without clinging, typical of the shift towards more fluid, wearable styles at the end of the 60s. Made from a lightweight, silky-feel polyester with a subtle stretch, the fabric has a smooth, almost brushed texture that drapes beautifully while still holding its shape. The all-over paisley print is rich and detailed, set against a deep green base with warm tones of orange, rust, soft blue and cream running throughout, giving it that earthy, bohemian feel that bridges mod and early 70s styling so effortlessly. The neckline features delicate gathers into a soft collar with long pussybow ties that can be worn loose or tied for a more polished look, while the long sleeves finish with neat buttoned cuffs for a tailored touch. The overall cut falls to a midi length with a gentle A-line flow, making it incredibly versatile and flattering. Labelled Linda Leigh, made in England, the dress measures approximately 44” bust, 40” waist, 44” hips and 40” length, which would best suit a modern UK size 16, designed to be worn slightly loose through the body for that effortless vintage silhouette. This is one of those easy, throw-on pieces that still feels special – perfect with knee-high boots and a coat in cooler months, or worn loose with flats for a relaxed retro daytime look. In very good vintage condition with only light signs of wear in keeping with age.
