1970s Chevron crepe dress - Extra small

A gorgeous 1970s party dress from ‘Roma Mark, Grace Roma’ label, in the most lustrous satin-backed crepe patterned with stripe in alternating gloss and matte finish.

Fastening with covered buttons to front, the long sleeves feature puffed shoulder and are gathered to a flat buttoned cuff for fulness. Skirt is gored in panels for flared finish, cut on the bias to utilise those stripes into attractive chevrons. Unlined
