1970s Luv Inc Elvia boutique label statement shoulder dress - Extra small
Tax included.
A stunning dress in indigo blue light jersey with slight marl (surface texture you see is intentional, not wear), printed with stylised roses in mustard, yellow, and red. From ‘Luv inc Elvia’ label who sold through the Canadian Jan Browning Boutique and was active until ’74 so this piece is no younger than that. Designer Elvia Gobbo was designing for the high end Malcolm Starr label by 1977.
Fitted and flaring from the waist, it features vertical pin tucks down the shaping seams, and fastens with back metal zip. The neckline laces up with bootlace cord in self fabric, and to top it all, the shoulders have panels extending over the dress front and back! Lots of drama here and very pleasing to flap around when wearing
