Rare Vintage 1970s Miss Selfridge Indian Block Print Balloon Sleeve Dress

A beautiful and rare 1970s Miss Selfridge dress, this is a truly remarkable find for any collector of British fashion history. It drips with the prairie essence that was prevalent throughout that period, whilst also being a celebration of the eras bohemian obsession with Indian textiles and block printing. This combination sets it apart. It has stunning balloon sleeves and skirt with lots of volume, all presented on a rich deep navy and rusty orange design that was printed by hand. The cream across the bodice provides a striking contrast and heightens the folklore/cottagecore vibe, and it comes with a button-down front, button cuffs, and a high-wasted shape. As one of Miss Selfridge's earliest pieces, it has an air of nostalgia and slow-fashion that is rarely seen in today's modern productions.
