Original 1970s Vintage Cream Floral Caped Maxi Dress Size 12
A stunning and unusual vintage maxi dress from the 1970s, this is such a head-turner! Rich cream with handkerchief caped top decorated with burnt orange and green florals. This sits over a floor length maxi dress in the same cream fabric, fitted at the top then flared out. Light and stretchy polyester fabric with a back zip fastening. On close inspection, there is a large but feint stain on the back. This can be washed out if necessary. Generally in good vintage condition.

Be unique with original vintage clothing from My Vintage, 1970s dresses, vintage dresses and vintage fashion, hand-picked by us from around the world!
At My Vintage, we take time to carefully measure each item of vintage clothing so that you have the best chance of ensuring a good fit whenever you buy from us. We measure the clothing laid flat as the diagrams show below and for bust, chest, waist and hips we double the measurement. For example, if the waist measures 17" across when laid flat then this would equate to a 34" waist (17 x 2 = 34)
We use the measurements we collate to assign each item of vintage clothing with an approximate modern-day size. For example, a dress with a 34" bust, 28" waist and 34" hips would normally equate to a current UK size 10. The labels on vintage clothing can vary massively depending on country of origin and date of manufacture. Clothing sizes have changed over the years and from decade to decade we see alternative types of sizing as well as variations on the way measurements equate to dress sizes.
We always recommend that you double-check the measurements of the vintage clothing item you are interested in, ideally by measuring an item of clothing you already own and that fits well, and comparing these measurements. There can be variations due to the desired fit, shape and fabric of an item but our size guidelines are normally very accurate and take the stress out of buying vintage online.
