Rare 1970s Corky Craig California Lace Bell Sleeve Maxi Dress

This beautiful Corky Craig maxi dress is a treasure from the golden age of Californian bohemian design. It is a standout item originally from our personal collection. It holds a romantic, pastoral charm, and one cannot help but think of the work of Jessica McClintock and Gunne Sax. There are undoubted similarities, which shows the familiar energy that was protruding through the West Coast at that time. But this dress is an independent masterpiece in its own right: with lovely, oversized angel sleeves, a tiered skirt that overflows with an abundance of delicate, antique-coloured lace, and an adjustable waist tie for that accentuating fit, it is the ultimate dream dress for a summer festival, a bohemian party, or to simply express yourself in fabric form.
