Absolutely stunning ultra feminine maxi dress in mainly black and white georgette print accented with bright fuchsia, teal and yellow, featuring lots of romantic detail so typical of designer Diane Freis. The dress has a V neckline edged with a crystal pleated frill and trademark tasselled beaded neck ties. The shoulders are also accentuated with pleated frills and the long sleeves have elasticated cuffs. The natural waist is defined by a contrast fuchsia and teal shirred band and the full length skirt is in two contrast prints: black and white to hip level, below which it is black and white with colourful leaves and crystal pleating to add volume and fluidity.
This dress is a real head turner by a popular and increasingly collactable designer. Read more about Diaine Freis.

Customers are asked to bear in mind that vintage garment sizes bear little or no resemblance to contemporary sizes. Furthermore, current high street size labels are inconsistent, with M&S and Wallis being noted for their generous proportions while others come up on the small side.
Please always refer to the measurements provided in the item description rather than the garment label size, and note that any ‘best fit’ suggestion we make will be based on modern day sizing. By way of example, our own suggested standard size 12 dress has an underarm to underarm measurement of approximately 19" with a waist size of 30".
In order to best gauge the suitability of an item, you may find it useful to compare our stated measurements with those of one of your own garments which is a comfortable fit. Our garment measurements are taken with the item laid flat, and all sizes in our descriptions are approximate.
