Classic Vintage Boho 70s 80s Silk Long Dress / The Silk Farm Designed by Icinoo / Full Length / Aqua and Lilac Silk / Mother of the Bride

$97.50 $195.00

Fabulous and classic 100% silk aqua and lilac super-floaty, flowing, superb late 70's-early 80's dress, this beauty is just scrumptious with its exquisite watercolor overprint on satin-striped silk chiffon. Icinoo/The Silk Farm dresses were sold in only the top high-end stores back in the day, and famous for their exquisite designs and colors. Such a timeless, beautiful and wearable style, very classic in silhouette with long sleeves and a gently gathered skirt; this one has the original separate underslip of lilac silk crepe as well as the original silk sash. It's like a gorgeous butterfly and floats just as lightly.....Silk Farm dresses are highly sought after by vintage clothing collectors because of the high quality of the silk fabric and wonderful flowing designs; this is a prime example and in excellent condition, plus it's a rare floor length version--most of the Silk Farm dresses I've seen have been shorter lengths. Excellent condition! This would be perfect for a mother of the bride or groom, it's absolutely feather light and ideal for spring/summer. See all photos for all the views of this beautiful vintage dress. Please check all measurements below!

IMPORTANT: PLEASE, please be sure to read ALL of the description especially the measurements and condition, and examine ALL the photos, BEFORE asking questions; and do be absolutely positive this piece will fit your requirements, as there are no refunds or returns. I'm a degreed and experienced textile scientist/antique garment restorer and seamstress, and I very, very carefully note any and all condition issues or repairs to every piece of antique/vintage clothing that I'm selling, so I can't stress enough that even if they're in pristine condition, remember they are all decades old and NOT new clothing, so if you desire modern perfection please don't purchase vintage! I don't do layaways or take offers, so please don't ask, thank you. Jewelry/accessories/props in photos are not included and not for sale.

I love antique and vintage clothing and have collected it for years, as well as having a longtime design career including doing costume & restoration work for major movie studios and museums....I've translated that love to my own contemporary creations as well as now offering some choice pieces of my extremely large collection of vintage and antique beauties! I'm meticulous about clothing in general so I make quite sure that every piece of vintage clothing I sell is clean, fresh, pressed and in excellent wearable condition---I do not use any fragranced or heavily-chemical products in caring for/cleaning garments and they are carefully stored in climate-controlled closets at all times except for when I am photographing them for listings. This is a NON SMOKING environment and always has been--I do not sell anything that has any kind of odor, nor do I ship clothing stuffed into shipping bags; I use new USPS boxes ONLY and carefully fold/wrap everything in new tissue paper.

Marked vintage size 12, Measurements of this delicious dress are as follows, please be sure you note the measurements of the crepe underslip as well.
Bust max: up to about 37-38", no larger than that; Slip bust measures 38".
Waist: Max 34", elastic is mostly stretched out.
Hip: free on the dress, full gathering; hip measurement on the slip is 40".
Skirt length from waist is approx. 40", keep in mind this may fall shorter on longer depending on the size of one's hips
Length is 54" from shoulder to hem; this fits and drapes SO beautifully on the body, as you can see. Mannequin is approx. 5' 6" and a modern size 6/8 (36-26-36); this dress fits the mannequin nicely, I believe a size 8 and maybe a 10 could wear it as well.
